Dude, I would change the DVD reader to a writer. I had the Razer mouse and hated it because it has a low height. Plus you do know that you are getting two mice with that setup. I have and Acer 23" and it is great. You can get the Acer 23" for $219 at Best Buy, that means you could get 2 of them for the cost of 1 24", just a thought, your money do whats you think is best.
And by the way I have a similar system and I would not call it moderate, it is in the Top 15% of systems, and so is yours. Good thing about your config is you will have it for years and still have room to grow. |

That's a good computer, but I would change a few things: 1) Change the DVD reader to a DVD reader/writer. 2) Save $125 by using onboard audio. Onboard audio is quite good these days. 3) Save $69 by using standard fans. The fans on the HAF 932 are excellent. 4) Most importantly, upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. You'll need 64-bit to use all 6 GB of your memory. Here is a new build for ya, and it costs less: Build 256083 |

LC is always better, you might need to add a bit of liquid in the reservoir. which takes 2 seconds to look at and 1 minutes to take out add water and put back
