And remember, read everything. Everything comes overpackaged with picture instructions, and they're the easiest things in the world to follow.

This is true enough about most things, but I wish someone had told my friend's old computer's power supply this when I had to help him replace it two weeks ago, it took us an hour to get that thing unplugged, thank god the newer unit went in so much easier. of course this shouldn't be an issue since you're building one from scratch, though honestly guys, for 700 bucks he could get a more than decent pre-built for his needs with a lot less hassle than assembling one from scratch, though I suppose building your own is a good experience/character building, etc. I mean if all he needs to run is Minecraft and several games a couple years old, like, he could get a desktop for like 500 with everything he's looking for, easy.

Hey I was interested in a new 'puter too and this caught my eye.

Like I am totally behind the times but isn't that like a really decent deal?  I mean this would play pretty much any game I would want to buy in the next 5 years!!!

Or does this just show that I haven't gotten a new computer since 2005?

Scandanavian War Machine:
I was actually looking at that one too, so I'd like to hear if anybody has any input on it as well.

It seems like a really good deal and all the reviews are really positive, unlike some of the reviews for similar setups from the same company.

The only issue is that you're never certain of where the products are sourced. As one commenter says, there's only a 460W PSU and no indication of who made it. So you know where the CPU comes from, and the case, and that's about it. Can't comment on price though, as I'd pay twice that down here.

Plus, that case is hideous.
