Now I know what to put on my Birthday wish list!!!
If you were to buy a system today, what would your wish list be? Would you upgrade anything?
I’m honestly pretty happy with it right now. The only thing I might do is later this year upgrade to a newer video card. But I would always stick with an nvidia card. I’m currently eyeing the Asus nvidia gtx 560 available here:

May I ask if you can update this one day? =]
Amore I haven’t changed anything in my computer as of yet. When I do, I will update this.
Ah okay! For some reason, I just can’t see the links to the products. So I only asked for a update because I thought everything was blank lol.
It just might be my computer though. But I can’t see the specs, even when I view the page source. I don’t know why, but thank you for your swift reply!

Amore, this is what it looks like for me, perhaps this will help:

I can’t see the specs either. So, i fired up the seldom used Internet Explorer and sure enuf they show up. So, Firefox 6 does not show them for me but IE does.
Thank you so much Strawberry! That helped alot actually.
- Yes, I tried IE also and didn’t see anything. I may just need to look on a different computer.
I have Firefox 6.0.1 and it shows for me. It also shows for me in IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera. I wonder why it’s not showing up for you guys. I wonder if you guys have an ad blocker installed or something. This is rather worrying. I think I think put up just a simple list as well now for those that can see it.
Thank you for letting me know!
That was it exactly Strawberry!
I’m using the same version of Firefox, but I do have AdBlockPlus installed to remove annoying advertisements.
I didn’t know it would delete your specs too! But adding an exception to your site made it viewable. So now I see everything on the screenshot.
Thank you again for your prompt responses. =]
I just bought a new video card this week. This is the one I have:

I will be updating this page very soon.
Oh, gosh how I want your computer!
I currently am on an iMac, but I really want optimum SL haha, as bad of an investment as that may seem, it would benefit in the long run for sure. I am really hesitant to return to windows, though. I mean, there is also the thing about not having the money but still! Well, I’m not even sure what a good custom built PC would cost, haha.
I want forever on shadows too! hahahaha
