    HELL no. I can't build it... unless you drive to Dallas TX.

    But really, if I just grab a 16 GB Flash Drive I'll be fine.
    Considering I am running WoW and FireFox on my 1.99 GHz 437 MB of Ram P.O.S computer .

    kataldt has got it right, building your own computer is not only far more cost effective but more fun aswell

    I actually finished building my friend a computer for ~1600 usd, but we already had the 42" plasma we used for it. Very nice computer, easily comparable to a 2.5K usd computer. But the more I notice about more low end computers, the less money you save. Maybe way up there you can save some crazy money, but for around $600 and lower, the only way your saving a noticeable amount of money is if your searching newegg for nothing but like free shipping/combo deals, which could lead to you not getting exactly what you want.
    $1600 computer:
    2.8Ghz 64 X2 black edition
    Thermaltake Prowater i850 water cooling system
    2GB G.Skill RAM
    1TBx2 SATA Barracudas
    EVGA Geforce 9800 GTX+ SSC
    ABS Tagan 700W modular PSU
    NZXT case or something like that, extremely nice case w/ top LCD read out with temps and fan controls
    and finally the 4x Bluray player

    Man i really have to much free time on my hands lol

    Yes there is plenty of guides. It is more simple then you think, but only try if you think you can do it Just be cautious for ESD, and follow directions and your good to go.

    Good guide: HowStuffWorks "How to Build a Computer"
    lol, always a good website to go to, maybe not a good detailed up to date guide, but it's somewhere to get started
    My aim is lama614 if you need some help about it Will be starting live tutoring sessions for +rep! J/K J/K
