    -DVD-ROM and a CD-RW
    -Black Case with see threw side and a handle so it has mobility

    I'm drooling. Course... I am on a glorified calculator... my computer is jealous of the power in new cell phones. lol

    Sounds like a nice rig! I would imagine it could play most games out there now on medium - high settings, though oblivion would be a struggle I imagine. That being said, oblivion is a struggle for my pc...

    Have fun with it, and overclock it!

    Nice computer good price,you have overlooked your power supply though,your gonna need more than 350w even if it is a quality brand,I'd go with at least a 450w quality brand with 25amps on the 12v rail

    Specs look good. Perhaps upgrading to 2GB RAM and a 500W PSU would be beneficial if you have the money to spend.

    Have you experimented with overclocking your GPU or CPU?

    Good setup. I agree with Syrillian's and Ricky's posts . . . My only thought is you should add a second hard-drive . . . perhaps not the same size as your primary drive but the same speed/specs etc. I usually put my paging file on a secondary drive (as long as it is as fast or faster then my primary (OS) drive). I have found this to improve overall system quality, at least when dealing with video related tasks. You should certainly look into a higher wattage power supply - you never know what you will need to add down the road.

    Good set up, overall. Well done.

    Looks sweet! I agree with the others though, a higher watt for your PSU is a good thing to think of. I'd reccomend at least a 450W. Otherwise it looks like a scik system, better than mine! :)

    If you're gonna be gaming with your rig a lot then i would go up to two gigs of ram as mentioned earlier, bigger psu as mentioned earlier again, and i would get a raptor harddrive. You should be good to go then.

    Great pc! You did great man!
