What was the time frame between buying it and upgrading the mobo, ram, & CPU? if you did it right away you bought a case, video card, & HDs for $650? lol

I got it August 2010 just upgraded ram, mobo, and cpu like 3 weeks ago. Everything else is the same. Not sure how long he had everthing in it before that though.

Just bought myself a new desktop. Unfortunatly since I could not find a Bit fenix shinbi anywhere (well I did but it was over retail AND 20 bucks shipping) I ended up with a CM scout. Really really wanted a White shinobi case

Anyways The rig has two purpuses, gaming and folding, I was originally planing on getting bulldozers, but since that got pushed to q4, I went with an i7 2600k being cooled by a Noctua d14. I Also managed to get a hands on a antec HCG 650w PSU, absolutely amazing ripple suppression on that thing so here comes the high OC . 8 gigs of 1600 mhz ram at 1.5v. Got a nice HP 1920x1200 monitor, 24 inch. I will be using the GTX 460 768 from my previus rig untill Kepler comes out q1 and use my EVGA bucks on that. Win 7 pro so I can finnaly play my 16bit based windows games via XP virtualization. and a 1tb Spinpoint f3
