CrazyCanukk -- I've been thinking about saving up, but my situation is a little crazy. I'm going to be moving in 2 weeks, and my current tower is almost 4 years old, falling apart, and keeps making grinding noises when it starts up. Also it BSODs on me every other day. I think that's due to overheating more than anything, but either way: I don't believe it will survive the ship from Florida to Seattle. I really wanted to push to wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, but I'll most likely need my computer ASAP when I get there. Either way, thank you for the suggestion regardless.
