Nice case, but what are you going to put in it ?
That's what really matters.

Oh, you mean what's already IN it! I got 6 USB ports, three coolant fans, and as for system specs:Nice case, but what are you going to put in it ?

real nice man...its hard enough to save enough money to buy neat things and then when you are proud enough to show it off ...some jerk kicks you down...real nice...

I wasn't kicking anyone down, I noticed there wasn't a graphics card in the slot & was asking a question.
If you look at my home built machines spec (at bottom of this post),
You will notice that I have more ram & my graphics card is above his "Nvidia GeForce 6150SE set".
Hey that's ok, there's bound to be SOMEONE who's got a better computer than me XD I'm just glad it's so much better than my OLD one. My old one had 358MB RAM, Pentium III Processor 256MHz, a real DINOSAUR. It had some sort of card that driver's were even near IMPOSSIBLE to find. So a REAL improvement!

Hi Blackwatch I don't think the dig was aimed at you, the first thing I noticed was no graf, card as well.
Starfox Is it built in to the mother board?

Yeah, it is. It's a graphics chipset.
Yeah, sure is.

Starfox,
I actually wondered what card you were thinking of installing when I didn't see one, you would be better off with one, this machine of mine is still a bit on the slow side for a lot of the really good routes.
Some builders put so much detail in I really do suffer with frame rates at times.

Looks good to me.
My Trainz playing laptop is not very well. Not very well at all.

Graphics onboard chipset? Rawr...those things aren't all that beefy, I had experience w/ a RAEDEON 200 Xpress...drivers? Forget it. Pixel Shader? Not for another generation. Speed? Compare to the speed of ice melting in a freezer below -20. Yeah...real nice GPU... Anyway, I know its a little overboard but an 8800GT is ($120?) was $279 when I bought it, and it'll still be around till 2011. Not trying to imply that all chipsets are bad or that you made a bad purchase, but just that I had bad experience w/ them and my computer has been happy ever since the day I bought it, and there is no bottleneck (I have a single core) that I have dealt with and a dual should do even better. I'm just saying, Nvidia GeForce 6150SE vs Nvidia GeForce 8800GT OC, price diff...$70? Performance? HUGE. Once again, not trying to imply anything, just that you may want to sacrifice for a better card or performance may suffer (depending on what you do). Sorry if I made it sound pushy, just trying to get a point across...
UP, since Starfox is completely satisfied with his computer - what may seem so 'slow' to you - I don't think it's very nice telling him how much some other card is so much better than what he already has. I've been put down before when I build my first PC 3 years ago and it's not nice.
On a sidenote, you do sound a little like you're showing off your 8800.
Cheerio,
Nicholas.

That's a weird amount of RAM. What's sharing it?
