Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
2 GB Corsair DDR2 6400
im not sure about the vid card yet cause i missed out on the good deal for a 8800GTS so maybe ill go for a 8600 idk yet

Sounds sweet...now get ingame!
J/K...looking forward to the day!
btw: what you have so far sounds great...don't save on the Ram if you have the cash...it's more important for this game than the G-Card, although that said..the 8800 kicks ass!
Using a 7900 Gs thanks to a good friend and the game runs great!

Sniper it'll fit. You'll get standoffs for the board where there are not screw connections. Don't worry, you'll be able to tell where things go when you see it. If you're worried about it just post pics and reddog or I can help you with it.

sweet, ill have to go out this weekend and look for a case. im trying to cut the cost on the shiping from the states. i had it all in the cart in newegg and shipping woulda been over $100 so im tryin to get as much over here.
im havin a tough time trying to figure out what to do about the monitors tho. had one picked out on newegg a Acer 19" widescreen for $179 but that and the case are the big shipping costs. so im not sure wether to go out here and buy a more expensive Samsung or LG or buy a cheapo korea brand......

Thats the one I got Sniper, the Acer 19" widescreen 16:10. The natural resolution is 1440 x 900, but the game looks weird with that setting, all the circles are egg shape, I have to run the game at 1152 x 856.
Not to mention that I had to manually set the natural resolution as a override within the G-force control panel.

Woot! Sniper is almost back in da house!!!
F'n A! with Alli, Trev, and now both Mevan and Sniper back in action we're going to be safe as kittens.
Bersi and his band of fac-D gangsters...not so much
