how abt gears of war? does it run smoother and nicer than 360?

 

Indeed. Sharper and smoother than the 360 version, it's noticeable. Mouse + Keyboard is a little wonky, but that's ok, because PC accepts my 360 controllers :)

 

 

 

That figure doesn't include:

- Operating System

- Monitor

- Mouse

- Keyboard

- Speakers

- Wireless Chip


Hahaha, ok let's take these one by one.

- OS

OS cost was $0, as I already own a copy. Microsoft allows several XP/Vista activations from one key if you use phone activation. Unless you're all posting from Ubuntu, I'm guessing you have an OS already as well :)

 

- Monitor

hahaha, if I include monitor, then you should include a 32" plasma with the 360. Hey, why not include a sofa while you're at it, and the cheetohs?

 

- Mouse

Logitech RX250, $8. Sure a better mouse costs more, but so does a dualshock.

 

- Keyboard

Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard, $10.

- Speakers

Does PS3 come with 5.1 surround sound system? Didn't think so.

- Wireless chip

Here in the PC world we call them "wireless cards" and they're integrated on most motherboards these days.

 

 

And a Ps3 has some cool features like a BluRay drive that costs 200$ alone

 

Blu-Ray drive for PC is actually $120. To get that without changing the price too much, we can swap out the current 640G hard drive, and switch to a more PS3-like 40G hard drive, and ditch the current optical storage for the BRD.

 

 

Most cheap motherboards don't have wifi.  And by "cheap" I mean those that are under $150.  And the motherboard listed here for this build doesn't have wifi.
