I know what you mean. I just don't feel like opening the case.

Edit:Well I caved in and I did it, it's now blue. :C

I bought some latex gloves so that I wouldn't leave residue on the parts when I touched them, but then I relised how am I going to keep myself grounded? Should I leave one glove off so that I can ground myself every one in a while?

I'm getting a Gtx 560 Ti and I want to be able to get this deal.

Are there any ~$250 Gtx 560 Ti's with this deal?
I need to make sure I can get this at my local computer store if I can.

I don't know if local stores offer these kind of things...

We don't know if your local computer store will have these for sure, or what is your local computer store for that matter.

I think that promo may have ended a while ago too, though.

I'm buying my GPU at Frys and I'm pretty sure they probably wont have it but now that I'm thinking about it, I did see a batman promo code with one Nvidia cards.

Though I'm fine if I don't get it now that's something I can worry about later.

Sorta yeah.  They're pretty good but IMO I bought Sennheiser 280's, which are a bit better and cheaper.

The one Razer headphones that are really great, are the Megalodons though.  The ones that have an onboard audio chip and virtual 7.1 surround.  loving awesome.

Just like my G35s. Best sound I've ever heard.

Did I done good?

What's the CPU? Lol. You missed out the most important part!

Don't worry about residue TBH. Just wash your hands.

[Nickelob Ultra]

Yeah, residue isn't really a problem unless you handle parts immediately after eating greasy food or something, lol.

Grounding, however, is always important.  I ground myself like every other second when I'm handling parts.  Not when I'm holding them, though.

Yeah.
I should really buy a grounding cord, but I find it rather awkward.
I just hold a plugged in PSU, which is the proper way of doing it.
I've built many systems so far with no fails :)

Lol

By the way, maybe I'd help you if you posted in the computer megathread instead of begging for attention like a japanese schoolgirl with your own speshil tawpic lol1l1ol

I couldn't find this thread on the first 7 pages so I guess it might be bumped from a while ago.
