My old lappy is getting on in years [3 this May], so I figured it was as good a time as any to upgrade. Here's what I'm looking at:
4 sticks of 1GB DDR2 1066 RAM
160GB Western Digital SATA harddrive
Asus P5K motherboard with built-in Wifi
Geforce 8800GT with 512MB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 at 3.0GHz
Acer 20" widescreen LCD monitor with native resolution of 1680X1050
Cooler Master Ammo case
Standard DVD burner
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit
Total cost of roughly $1300.
Also, I'm thinking about adding in a Bluray drive somewhere down the line. Not right away though because they still cost $190 for ones that don't even burn DVDs.
