Curiosity as to why it hasn't been touched when the balcony theme has != requesting someone touch it.

I'm not requesting one, I'm just curious as to why the prof's theme hasn't been touched. Luigi's chillin in his shack while I post this just so I can listen while I write. That Balcony Thing was a good musics, but I'd've preferred if it had been based on the white haired midget.

I've got nothing to do here, so I'm playing through Luigi's Mansion for the first time in years. Why hasn't anyone touched the prof's music? That be some seriously kickin beats, j0.

Why would you recommend against the stock power supply? It's 500w, 150-200 more than I'd need. Well, I don't know how much the 8800 takes, but I'm sure it'd be nowhere near 500.

Hokay, to wrap up this thread so I don't have to come back and check it, the complete shopping list is: RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black SECC STEEL ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply - Retail Item #: N82E16811156062 EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail Item #: N82E16814130082 WINTEC AMPO 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AMD2800-1G1K-R - Retail Item #: N82E16820161067 ASUS P5B-VM SE LGA 775 Intel G965 Express uATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813131178 Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6420 - Retail Item #: N82E16819115016 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler Item #: N82E16835186134 Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM Item #: N82E16835100007 The grand total is $772.90. Hopefully Newegg will be nice and get it here before the weekend. I do so want my new rig <3

So I have $600 and want to get a reasonably decent gaming machine, however I have no previous experience with building PCs. I already have 2 hard drives. an 80gb SATA 7200rpm and some other I don't remember (it's upstairs in the room I'm using if it's really that important). I also already have all the peripherals I need, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a cd drive. I could use a good dvd drive if there's one that's reasonably cheap. I've already weighed the advantages for a video card and so far I'm going with a GeForce 8600GT ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150229 ) for $149 with a $20 rebate. My question to you, aside from advice on a better video card or a dvd drive at all, is what I should choose (or what I should look for when browsing them as I've never done this before) by way of motherboard, cpu, power source, and whatever else I'm overlooking.

stop making fun of my impotence

Woo, egowhoring! I have cake, then I'm going to take the 20 bucks I got from my grandma to go buy weed for later tonight
