I don't believe any of those components are going to last long under the strain of download pr0n!!!!

Samsung makes good monitors, although 17" seems a little small to me.

Looks good.

You should maybe get dual core 3800+... so he can run multiple videos of porn and bittorernt simultaneously

 

[tazzmissionx]

Is 600GB going be enough space for all the porn

I prob would lose the FD, and get a bigger monitor. Dell sometimes have those deals. I think 19" should be a min...

I would atleast get a different floppy drive. I've heard horror stories of those sony ones. Either go Samsung or NEC.

If you're gonna go dual core like suggested, go with the 4200+...it isn't that much more than the 3800+...

I don't like the case, but to each his own....

That keyboard mouse combo is overpriced imo...there are better things out there to get...I suggest going to a store anyways and feeling them and pick on feel....

Would he really use the surround sound? I still think that my Monsoon 2.1 pumps out way better sound than any of the logitech surround....for me it's all about quality, not quantity...

I'd also suggest getting some new sata cables too...lotta friends that were drawn to epox's overclocking capabilities couldn't get their system working because of bad cables....good thing they had 6 cables combined and only 4 drives...lol
