If Im lucky in February I might get a new PC. So Im looking around now and thanks to EGM I found this site.
Minus the ugly Halo 2 theme is this a good deal? Also if I change the Case will that effect anything else that comes with the PC?
Pretty much If the power of the universe is in my side I'll get this.... and if I get positive feedback from you guys.
More then likely I'll end up getting the one below but please tell me what you think of both.
