I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I suppose this would be the best place to fit it in.
Well, I've got this bit of an ongoing computer building project. Ongoing in that it's a graduation gift and I'm buying parts on installment so that we don't go big time into debt all at once. I've already gotten the case and power supply (the more I look at and take the lian-li apart, the more I love it), and now its time to do some more shopping.
I'm thinking I will get the dvd-rom (Poineer 16x unless someone has something better to recomend), 3.5 disk drive, maybe a set of rounded cables. Could probably go for mroe, but I really want to hold off on the mobo, processor and RAM until the very last second (cheaper prices, better equiptment). Still somewhat undecided on hard drives (thinking about going with a 100 gig ATA rather than SCSI....two if I can swing the price), so that may wait a while longer. Would rather hold off on the video card until some of the developers start improving their GeForce 4 cards. So....I could get the sound card (still trying to decide if I want the Audigy Platinum or gamer...), maybe monitor, maybe speakers, mouse. Anyone have any recomendations on what is good to buy now, what may drop in price, etc, etc?
Also on the same note, where would be the cheapest places to get these things (aside from checking pricewatch and similar sites...)?
