you can cut prices with a smaller HDD or aCore 2 Duo but Quad is very good so i would spend the money!!! or maybe you can use an esisting HDD you have?!?!?!

 

so with out the case, PSU, and CPU fan you are looking at around $650 dollars before shipping!!!!

You can get cheapers Cases or PSU if you want

 

 

mine has 3 500's HDD

8 gigs of ram

8800 GTS

Blue tooth adapter

 

and thats around $1500

 

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!

maybe you can find the parts cheaper other places too!!!

 

do research

 

 

 

Oh rememer FCS2 is 1300 legally ;)
