You could switch out the surround sound for another hard drive if you want.

Main idea, build it yourself -> save money -> get a computer thats 10 times better.

I would take out the ups (32$), the surround sound (219$), keyboard, mouse (55$), and floppy (6.75$). Then It'd come down to 2302.77. Without the monitor? 1794.82$.

Rarek will you just father my children already. With your huge newegg skills.
