Is this a good gift for my bro?

dipstick · Jul 16, 2003, 04:27 PM

I'm alittle late, by about a month, but I finally finished my brothers graduation gift. I built him a sweet PC that even rivals my own and preloaded it with about 15 of the newest games out there.

Antec Sonata case with a TruePower 380w. Very quiet case with a sweet piano-like finish
AXP 3000+/400fsb cooled by SLK800/panaflo
Epox 8RDA+
1GB PC3200
Radeon 9800Pro 128mb
Hercules GTXP sound
Maxtor 80GB HD
WinTV PCI
16x DVD drive/48x CDRW
Logitech wingman, MS joystick

So, what do you guys think? I can't wait to see his face today whan he see's it in his room. He's gonna be so pumped, I'm freakin pumped. I love making my bro happy, he really earned it this time.

Nah, I'm sure your brother won't want that... I'll take it off your hands for ya...

rockandchelle · Jul 16, 2003, 04:50 PM

LOL...man I wish I had a brother like you, but I can't complain my graduation gift from my family was a Waverunner...so all is good. But I am sure he will be thrilled to get it...

Zardon · Jul 16, 2003, 04:52 PM

yeah kakarot, take a digital picture shot of his face when you give it to him and post it here, would make a nice picture

There's a saying which says 'It is better to give than to receive' That is an awesome gesture kakarot and I think you're both gonna get tremendous pleasure when he sees it!

Awesome pressie!

The most my brother ever gave me was a black eye when I broke his bike

. That's sweet dude, he's a lucky kid.

dipstick · Jul 16, 2003, 08:39 PM

He just saw it and went nuts. It was pretty funny because I just let him notice it for himself, he was like WTF is this!He's so pumped right now, it's freakin awesome. He doesn't even know which game to play first, he hasn't played any of them. He was also pretty amazed with the gfx quality in Unreal 2, he's totally in love with the 9800. I know his Xbox is taking a long vacation now for sure.
Thanks for the kind words guys, I love making my family and friends happy.
