CD/DVD Drive:
I'm using the one off my old computer

I'm also buying an extra 80mm antec fan to add to my case, and buying Arctic Silver Thermal paste.

Is this a good build for $1663.71 Canadian? Which is $1472.96 USD

Do I need anything else or am I good, And I'm positive everything is compatible, but if something isn't please tell me.

Thanks, rating on build would be nice

Thanks guys, does $1663.71 Canadian/$1472.96 USD sound about right?

b3atofang3l · 11-04-2006, 05:21 AM

Well, it does omit shipping

martyvice · 11-04-2006, 05:26 AM

Thats actually including assembly and comes with a one year warranty, I built it on memoryexpress so I can go pick it up in Calgary

You're the one who taught me about that site, so thanks a BUNCH
