hardnrg Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 errrrr, a dvd-rw? you've got the main things... i assume you got a retail amd cpu with the heatsink/fan? how about case fans? floppy drive's always handy for bios flashes imo. keyboard/mouse/monitor - i guess you'll use your imagination on choosing those...

Vasto Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 No...don't waste money on speakers. Just buy a sweet pair of headphones. Howabout a MIC? Thermal Paste? Surge Protector? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
