Hey guys. I'm building a very cheap gaming rig for a friend. He likes playing Counter Strike and finaly wants me to build him a rig, so we don't have to take turns hehe. He also wants to play a little bit of Doom 3 when it comes out, but it doesn't need to run sick or anything. He's not a big Computer enthusiest, and doesn't intend to overclock. So here is what i plan to build for him. Let me know what you guys think. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
