I like the art on the side, definatly ties in with the new expansion...I just wish they used a better case...a slick black Lian Li would have been nice...

entered, thanks.

the more you enter the greater your chances on these kinds of contests :)

Or in this case, just entering I guess ;) Better than not entering because it's a slower rig.

That system will be more than capable of Playing FFXI

Oh cause it says this in the disclaimer "Limit one entry per person. No other entries will be accepted." And then on one of the other pages it says not to send this to friends parents or whatever because it will not increase your chance of winning (I don't really get this second part).

i actually like that case, is there somewhere you can get that without the art on it? just black and white, or is that silver :p

Damn! I was hoping they were just trying to disuade people from entering a bunch of times. Oh well.

I don't know if you can find one with the chrome trim but the case is just a Coolermaster Wavemaster. This is just the first place I looked, you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

It's a Cooler Master Wave isn't it? I'm sure that isn't the full name, but I've seen pictures of it somewhere. Thermaltake has a case out that kind of looks like that too.

Does anyone know any more about this board I'm assuming since its intel that it is not very tuneable.

Yeah, Intel isn't big on overclockers so you're probably right. Besides, with brands out there like Abit and DFI, who would want to go Intel.

I would take all the intel boards I could get my hands on if they were free.........

Oh I agree and with every thing else in this package the price of a different motherboard would be worth it.
