EPTLogitech G15 (The original blue LED) keyboard
Logitech G5 mouse
Steelseries S&S mousepad
HP w2408h 24" Monitor
Cooler Master Stacker 830 case (amazing)
That rig will destroy any game right now though, even at your 1920x1200. Great choices.

The computer I upgraded from to this one started with an ATI 9700 (not a 9700 pro or deluxe or all-in-wonder or whatever the hell they used... just "9700"). One of my friends bought a computer in that time, and then bought a new computer, and gave me his 6800GT that I used for over a year in that machine. This was a well-overdue, long-awaited upgrade for me  lmao that's the thing, this was my ugprade computer from a 1.4 ghz pentium 4, 128 mb ram, geforce 2 mx400 | ||

Besides, a quad6600 + 4gb ram + 4870 1gb card will probably last you as long as this setup will without the sickening decadence. | ||

I completely agree with Jibba on this one. Besides, a quad6600 + 4gb ram + 4870 1gb card will probably last you as long as this setup will without the sickening decadence. GRRRR... ANGRY POST IS ANGRY. Seriously, no. I don't. With these latest Nvidia drivers it seems like they're fixing the issues SLi has, so whatever. I'm happy with my new computer and I don't think a penny was wasted. That's all that matters. | ||

The 24'' monitor was a great choice also I believe the 2x Nvidia's wasnt needed but ye overall im pretty much jealous with your rig and I hope you are a rich guy because in 1-2 years this rig will probably get old.On a sidenote get rid of Vista and get XP , xp > vista imo actually wait, oh wait... win98 se > all windows kek! | ||

I chose to get 2x DVD RW because I'm lazy and I can copy directly from DVD to DVD without putting it all on to my hard drive. Also, on a $3,500 gaming rig, both of those came out to less than $100 combined, so I figured "who cares?". Windows Vista is arguably the best operating system Microsoft has ever released. You heard it here first. Windows 7 is simply going to be a service pack with a bunch of the bloated-ness cut out of it (if there's one thing I don't like about vista, it's that it requires a lot of memory). Failing that, I couldn't make use of DirectX 10 features in XP. | ||

And DVD drives these days cost like $20, so $100 for two? hahaha... but yeah, it's a shame Crysis is boring as hell | ||
