It sure looks good to me, though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

My dream rig on there clocks in at $5,700 - that's not including a mouse, keyboard, or monitor. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> That is including an 8-core CPU, a quad-core GeForce 9800, 2000GB of HD space, water cooling, and 16GB of RAM, though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Maybe the battery has lost its mind. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
