I'm not sure how much the assembly costs there, but in Israel it's around the 200nis.

The products in this 'puter are really high quality, you can also save some places, maybe find a place that sell the GT version of the 6800, and get a better gaming expirence.

WHY NOT DVR-108 OR A08?

DVR 108 COSTS LESS THAN 150 IN THE US, DOES NOT LOOK NICE AS THE A07XL BUT HAS MUCH MORE FEATURES AND PROBABLY PERFORMS BETTER

[biodome]

cause this store doesn't have it maybe? :

This is Canada, not the US. If you got the extra time to search for him a store that does have it you're more than welcome to help him.

They also got plextor's and TDK, but didn't see a real need to upgrade there..

The TDK got X12 and costs 213$ CA, but i dont think it's really needed..

Shame they dont stock the LG and the NEC..

this would be a very nice system:

if you cannot afford the few extra dollars you can always take a higher cas memory or take a via chipset mobo

system is from www.ncix.com in canada

edit: you should add even a cheap cd reader to enlengthen the life of your beatifull pioneer A08XLA.

[lox]

thnx

youre awsome!!!

[integral]

you're most welcomed

the pioneer 108 should arrive to stock any day now at ncix

regarding the DVD writewr they write it is the A08XLA but on the same line no software which is very confusing. don;'t be sdurprised if you getr the DVR108 instead of the A08. but that is a small problem. you have a cover on your case anyway

you should also verify with them on the phone which fans are included with their case. i've added an 80 mm fan but you might need more.

the AMD box should come with a good cooler. just verify it is a box like they write and not a tray

[biodome]

The Antec comes with two 120mm fans, front and back, more than enough.

Great system integral.
