zipzoomfly doesn't ship cases for free.

aj327 · 09-06-2005, 04:19 AM

I can do one for 149.99. It's called the X-Box. I hear it's pretty sweet!

X24 · 09-06-2005, 04:22 AM

Oh, that one will deffinatly match the graphics of bf 2 or hl 2 won't it, and it isn't at the end of its life span right now is it?
he wants to play pc games anyway, and shooters are always better with mouse and keyboard imo.

X24 · 09-06-2005, 05:01 AM

no need for that opperating system, and what about a cd or dvd drive?
and i belive the 9600XT beats the 9800se

Here you go, as best as can be!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814102344

You could do alot better then that, as long as you dont mind not doing it the "legal" way. Time for a black mask and a moneybag.(for the CPU's f coarse)

Renzore101 · 09-06-2005, 09:30 AM

you know, once and a while newegg has specials for free or reduced shipping, once i saw that everything has $0.99 shipping (even a 21" CRT!!). Maybe you could wait for some low shipping deals to get the big stuff.
