Corsair HX1000
22" whatever-it-is
NEW Inno3d GTX 570 (noisy *******)
NEW DVD burner
NEW Leopold 500CR mech keyboard w/MX REDs (Used it for less than a week. MX Reds are too light for my taste)

No wonder she's excited - I'd be over the moon to be given this rig as a present.

What a generous brother !

lol, cheers mate

She's been a huge help to me lately, so she deserves it. Plus I can now skimp on presents for the next few years

Nice xmas present, you can call me 'sister'

Wow that is a nice machine. I bet she'll love it.
