AHHHH! Damnit! It's horrible! Lol Uhm (Special Price) LG GWA-4161 16X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER, I'm not sure though, but the computer price comes up to $797 without monitor. Black Keyboard and Mouse and z2300 2.1 speakers are also included, but yeah... Now I just need to wait... ugh. Will this play CoD2 and HL2 and WCIII pretty good? God I'm so excited and I'm starting to get tech savvy just reading about all of this stuff lol.

Whew I'm so happy. I don't know if you guys know, but I've gone through alot! First I was getting a custom made comp, but the kid didn't know what he was doing so he refunded me, then I was going to buy a desktop at a store, but they come with intergrated bad gfx, then i decided to go online customazation, then compared and UGH!!!!! I'm thankful for you guys sooo much, without the help I've gotten, I'd be sitting with a Dell $400 comp crying. Now I just need a decent, BLACK monitor, but that can be taken care of in Jan. I feel like I'm making a speech, but I'm just so happy, the comp I'm on now and have been for 1 1/2 years is a Pentium II Proccessor, 200 Watt power supply... You decide. (Oh and no audio )

I'll def take a picture. It'll all look nice except the monitor, so I'll make sure that "magically" disappears from the photos lol. This is the first NICE computer I'll ever have. I won't know how to act! No more LAN Centers for me
