Computer box con't
This is hell of tempting: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229092
That said, I'm not getting a new comp till September at the earliest, but still - those specs, and that price, is looking pretty good to my untrained eye.
What it is basically:
Intel Core i7 920(2.66GHz)
6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 Tri Channel Memory
500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 7200RPM HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GTS250 512MB PCI Express Video Card
and etc., for about: $1,198.49
So yeah, if I wait a month, I can probably get a 1TB drive, 8GB RAM, 1GB graphics card, and a 3GHz i7 for about the same price.
Which isn't a huge upgrade, and that's untrained guessing, but I don't know. Still in research mode here. That's about the upper limit of what I'm willing to spend though - it's easy to keep pushing it up by $20-50, and next thing I know I'm looking at a $5k system. Gotta reign that in!
