   My wife has been complaining about her computer being slow alot recently so for a christmas gift i am going to buy her one. She is going to get a DS computer before i can. Well about all she does is is net surfing and down loaded games from real arcade so she does not need any thing high end so this is what i was thinking of getting her. as far as the video card is concerned i up graded her current comp with a EVGA 8800 gt so i will end up useing that. my budget is aroung 1000. thanks for your input.

	Antec 900 has better airflow and is cheaper than the 750Si case. If you are going to be installing your own 8800GT, you should select the "no thanks, I'll be installing my own" option and save yourself $100.

	Ok the antec 900 would be good. I would go with the no video card but i will be out of the country when she gets it and she has absolutly no knowlege and computer hardware. So she has to have a working computer from the start.
