well here are the basic stats of the computer i'm getting.

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1160397734

with also black optical mouse, black keyboard, neon blue light inside...ect though dunno about a moniter yet.

I was wondering for-

CD-RW it says NEC ND-1300A DUAL FORMAT DVD-RW/DVD+RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE

Does this mean the CD drive can function as a CD-rom drive and a DVD drive?

and is a nVidia GeForce FX 5900 128MB 8x AGP w/ TVO, & DVI better than a Radeon 9700 pro 128mb?

On most stats yes.

cool, thx, looks like i'm getting the lesser of the FX 5900 series, but looking at the ultra 256mb review the 156mb shouldn't be bad at all Smile

I got one more question,
I currently have on this buying list a AMD certified CPU Fan and Heatsink, and this was before I threw the FX 5900 in instead of the FX 5600 it had before, should I pick out the option for:

AMD certified CPU Fan and Heatsink + 3 extra case fans

or AMD certified CPU Fan and Heatsink + 2 extra 3-color led case fans

So basically, will the FX 5900 run with just one fan, or will it need one of the 2 of above since it has a lot more power than the FX 5600?
