wut kind of monitor did you get with it. what kind is the watercooling. those two are probably the other important factors to the price next to the video card.

Also, what kind of Case did it come in? So far, it seems like an ok deal. nothing extreme , just ok

thermaltake water cooling and 19" samsung CRT

the case is nothing special but it does have a 450w psu.

also does any know if updating my bios will mess with OC setting?

I have only updated my BIOS once, and I turned everything in BIOS to default factory settings, in other words, NO OC.. just to be on the safe side.

when upgrading your bios, its like youre doing heart surgery on your computer. ALWAYS bacck up your files.

I had the misfortune of having to reinstall XP after a bios update.

As for your PSU, what brand is it?

so far the system seems like a decent deal to me

 

[mackel53]

antec 450w psu

he also gave me a ghost image of the system so if anything were to happen i could set everything back to the way it was

If you flash your BIOS (i.e. upgrade), then you'll definitely loose your OC settings. I don't think upgrading your BIOS will fix your mic problem anyway. I'm not sure I'll have to look into that one though.
