You're buying a $65 gamer case for your parents?

Why the sound card when you have onboard audio?

65 didn't seem too bad compared to the other cases, it seemed either that or a really cheap thin case, and they wanted to use it for music and i think a few posts complained about the onboard audio (oops), thanks though i'll check out alternative cases.

Onboard audio Smile

There are WAY better cases you could get. They don't need a fancy gamer case.

what is the total cost?

i realy cant belive i am doing this, but you can get a ok Confused emachines comp for under $300 now brand new, form the factory..................but it has a celeron, a 80GB hard drive, and only 512 ram. my relitives got a few, and gave one to my sister (the one im on now) and it does apear to be reliable. and it is also exactly 2x as fast as my old comp across the bord.

i dont think any one (individual) can build a working comp for $300......

hey i would never buy one of those. they are of 0 use for gamers. but if you just want to use it for email and stuf, it seems to work fine.

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
