I tried to make the computer "look" like a gaming computer with the clear LED computer case, keyboard, and mouse. |

When I was a computer building noob, I thought higher = better. The 6800GT was considered the best of the best a few months before I started building. When I got around to it, I noticed the 7200GS was out, so I opted to go with that..thinking it was the "next generation" of gaming cards and and would blow me away.
..turns out it was less powerful than integrated video. :stongue: |

I bought my 8800gt a while ago refurbished for $100
Shouldn't be too hard getting one for ~80
If you want mid-tier gaming go with the 8600gt, not a bad card |

Why not? This is for those people who just want the cheapest of the cheap, but a computer system that does non-high performance stuff well. If I do it, might market it to businesses though. Businesses that just want a computer to do office stuff and nothing more. |
