Dr. Croubie,


Thanks for the post. I am actually sitting at my desk trying to finalize my order. I'll review your order and maybe I'll change my mind on a few things, but as it stands (prices after rebates):
  • ASUS M4A88TD-V EV Motherboard ($103)
  • AMD Athlon II x4 3.1 GHz ($106)
  • WD Caviar Black 2 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA III, 6.0 Gb/s ($150)
  • G. Skill Ripjaw x Series 8 GB (yep, windows) DDR3 (1333) ($55)
  • OCZ Technology Agility 3 120GB ($190)
  • ASUS CD/DVD burner ($20)
  • Cooler Master HAF 912 ($45)
  • Apevia 500W PSU ($20)
  • Window 7 Home Premium ($95)
  • Samsung B2430H 24" monitor ($220)



For a grand total of $1004.


Just a few more things I want to check (I logged in to re-read this threadfor the recommendations)and then I'll place the order.


Thanks,


Brant
