I like your intro. You should make a tutorial video on how to make that. I'm curious to know! lol

@Quetzalqoatl99 I paid a radio DJ/announcer $5 to make me that audio intro, haha.

Would you recommend buying open box products ?

[mrgeo20]

@FLIGHTANIMATOR If it's a great deal then yes, but I would still use caution. This computer arrived broken and I had to send it back. Check out my newest video to see the computer I'm building myself! :)

@mrgeo20 Thank you for Responding :) Its only for $347.99 or somewhere in the $300-390 range. It has an i7 2600K at 3.4 ghz and an ATI Radeon 6850. Is it worth it ? I'll PM you the link.

[mrgeo20]

@CleanSC400 yeah they fasten it loosley to the bay with 1 screw... that's the problem, lmao. My hard drive seemed fine at first, give it 2 weeks and if things start to slow down then your hard drive is failing.

[CleanSC400]

@mrgeo20 hey man, got the desktop and just like yours the hard drive was just hanging there... luckily i received every item that comes with this computer and it was in great shape, aside from the hard drive. ibuypower stated to me that they had a fixed for later model of this computer to fix the HDD issue. i ran a test on the hdd and it came out with perfect health so we'll see how it works. so far i have tested swtor and i have all graphics set to high and getting 40+ fps!

[mrgeo20]

@CleanSC400 I ordered mine open box too, perhaps they keep mailing out the same one! xD ahhahaha

No i did not, but my friend has a computer similar to this and he says he can run it, I don't have personal experience playing it though.

[CleanSC400]

@mrgeo20 i just ordered this exact desktop off of newegg but i ordered it "open box" i certainly hope if this was yours that broke they at least fixed it LOL

did you happen to test swtor on this machine?
