Yup it's a Very nice computer...(It's made by IBM but lenovo has the rights to sell it becuase IBM owns most of there company.) This computer is so quiet!!!! because it has 4 little rubber studs were the screws are that hold the fans which reduces noise so it is really quite when holding a game! I just love this thing....The only thing I have to complain about this computer is that it has 2 1x PCI (The really small slots) and there is maybe about 4 different cards you can put on there which is fan cards (Found them at frys electronics) there just a board with a fan on them for extra cooling. you could also put eSATA controllers, LAN cards, or I also found a 1x pci 6 USB 3.0 (The new USB version)

Id go for either the 8800GT or the 8800GTX with a cheap but new PSU, probably made by CIT, they make quality yet fair priced PSUs. Heres a link to CIT PSUs on ebay:

and for the 8800GT

Anyone else got a suggestion for a graphics card under $100 and perhaps a cheap 500-600w PSU?

I cannot stand having only a few PCI slots, especially when you might want to add a SATA expansion card, WIFI card and a sound card, luckily I have three on mine which is just enough for me.

I have never seen fan cards before myself, speaking of fans, that reminds me, I desperately need one for cooling my hard drives.

Well here they are this is a Vantec Spectrum Fan Card

I think I wont bother with one myself, still its good to know they exist and I can imagine them being good for cooling where the other fans cant reach fully like the other PCI cards and graphics card.
