wow death, that system looks mean, can't wait to see the review and pics and glad your back on the "mothership"

btw I believe the 5500 Aurora is an AGP system, so you would need a new GPU as well as new RAM and MB...so just letting you know

oh glad for you to post in my thread AW Juan =P...btw don't forget the rice and dried squid in my AW system please haha
