this would be my first fully solo build, and from 1-10 my knowledge is maybe a 4

is it better to have these guys - www.milwaukeepc.com build it?

or to build it myself, save a bit of money, and all that, and more importantly learn ALOT in the process?


IF, i build and its a VERY big if, the new setup, keeping in mind that the new quads will be out soon along with the 9000s, is thus...

as for the case decision... i feel a pull towardsa the 900, but, the Armor has=

1. more features
2. better size and room to work with

i believe that a first time build would be better and easier with the Armor, so if i build ill probly go with it


so, thoughts?

i need sum ROCK solid advice before mom gets home from work in about 12 hours(at this point shes still asleep as its only 502AM for me)
