I allready got the os xp pro, 21' sony monitor keyboards mice etc so no need to order them. anyways I think it should be one bad sob
 
Agreed, that is going to be an awesome system. Don't forget to take pictures when you get all your stuff!
 
its from monarch computers they are mainly like newegg but also build custom systems. hehe was talking to guy on phone as I had allready placed 2 previous orders and cancelled them cuz of many hard/ocp readers input hehe he told me ok this is it no more lol anyways thats my final decision on the gear it should rock n roll
 
Monarch computer systems if I'm not mistaken - not a bad place to purchase components
 
yea that's a pretty damn nice system.

but $3680??? DAMN

That's a lot of money just for the tower but you did get a lot of stuff.

I wish I had it.

Monarch is wonderful.
I have made a few purchases from them myself. Started dealing with them at first because they accept paypal... makes things very easy for me.
Ive had to deal with thier customer service(there was some delay shipping out my order) 5 Min on the phone with a georgia peach(yes they are located in Georgia) and she had 'the warehouse boys' upgrade my shipping to two day air (I had paid for standard 5-7day ground).

gotta love the southern hostpitality ;)
 
Ya they have been really nice esp. since I have changed orders but this time its done should have it in about a week.... can hardly wait to receive it. Oh and I decided to go with gigaworks cuz my last 5.1 klipsche 5.1 died on me after 1 year lol
 
PLEASE DO NOT BUY THE GIGAWORKS!!

Those series of speakers are made HORRIBLY. For the price, I would go with something make by Klipsch. The amp's on those suckers die after about a year of good use. My megaworks series died as well ... I really should update my profile.. oh well.
 
get the logitech z5300's. I paid like 120 for mine afew months ago. they are great.
 
Dood. You gonna put all that in your sig? I thought mine was long. LOL

Nice parts. Got three words for you: REMEMBER THE STANDOFFS
 
I just started to mock up a system there for fun, it seems some of thier stuff is a little more expensive and some less, so its up to you. Also they put it together if I read correctly, and when I wetn through (only went half way) I got to thermal grease, now they have a $13 grease? And no other options, so I am wondering what they would use if you chose none, since we all know they wont put it together with out it. Hmmmm maybe you could select none and save $13 or .0035%
