    Build me a computer tower $1550

    must FULLY support SLI. however i will only be running 1 hd monitor with 1 video card for the time being. must handle vista home with flying colors. must have dvd writer with lightscribe, and a media center on the front (thing with all the memory card slots and headphone mic ports)

    the fast the better

    Price =$1550

    and ... go!

      also, most things being done on this computer will be image and video processing/editing. along with video games, however im not worried about running crysis on full settings

          Intel q6600
          Asus P5K Mobo
          4GB 1066 Ram
          2 500GB or 750GB HDD's
          2 DVD Drives
          1 22in WS Monitor (Though two 17-19's are nicer in my opinion)
          Video card of your chosing (Ati Vs. nVidea) I'd go with an EVGA 8800.

          Newegg all that, you should be around your goal...

          I just built a system for 1450, with similar stats.

              I concur with Behemoth, but I would use the P5E MOBO. But, just my opinion

              And, a P180 Antec case. Very nice to put it all in.

              Dont forget the power supply, get a 650 modular or better, and dont skimp on the brand either or you will regret it.
              WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.

                  Depending on the graphics card, you'll need to find a PSU that has enough wattage, leads, and is good for your processor.

                  Case is a Case is a Case.

                  The only one i'd drool over is the Coolermaster Cosmos. Oh boy is that thing NICE. But NICE comes at a price...
