Damn. I did it. I actually did it. I placed my order. It’ll be here in 5-7 days. I’m scared. What if things don’t work? What is their customer service department jerks me around? I dunno. I’m frightened. I’ve read hundreds of reviews on both BizRate, CNet (Certified Stores) and Tom’s Hardware, they all pretty much say the same thing… “good prices, fast shipping, but if something goes wrong, you’re SOL.” They’re lowest rating was a 3.9 out of 5, every other rating was higher, usually around a 4.5, so it seems that people like them. I all worried now. I hate being worried. But, the upside is that I get a bitching machine.
I ordered:
Antec SX1240 Full Tower Case with 400w Smart Power
Athlon XP 2000+
Asus A7N266-E nForce Mobo
Thermaltake A1135 Dragon Orb CPU cooler
Western Gigital WD1200JB 120GB HD
Pioneer 16x Slot Load DVD drive
Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
Plextor Plexwriter 24x10x40x CDRW
Gainward GeForce 4 Ultra 700XP – GF4 Ti 4400 128MB
256MB Kingston PC2100 DDR memory
I’m going to use the network card from my current system (or just get another at BestBuy) along with 512MB of PC2100 that Jason is giving me, and that about wraps it up. Can anyone think of anything I’m forgetting? I just remembered that I forgot to get a floppy drive. So, a floppy, a network card and thats about it. So, I know I’ve asked this a few hundred times… but did I do the right thing here?
