Nice going dude

Just be carfull, Medion titanium PC's tend to produce and trapp alot of heat. make sure u got a nice air circulation in there:
 
The box actually has 2 large ventilation panels on each side. If I make sure it is standing in a well ventilated place, I don't think it will be a problem. I had a Medion power machine previously (the first P4 2GHz), and it never gave me any hassles!
 
cool, the thing i like about medions is that nomatter what spec they are they are built to run very quietly. most of the time u dont even notice ur machine running.
 
Only thing i dont really like bout ur specs is the fact that it has an intel processor. The Pentium D's are really crap when compared to any AMD X2!!!

AMD FTW!!!
 
DUDE i wud chose Intel over AMD in a heartbeat anyday
 
by the way, im sitting here with a Medion 17'' Lcd monitor wit a cracked lcd. it was accidently shot with a BB gun
 
i dont know dude, i got no info on it, im pushing a crappy 5500 (256)

Not precisely sure bout benchmarks and so on, havent seen many on the FX5500, but i'd say the 9600 could be better.

But here's quite a few ppl on this forum who'd be able to tell you a whole lot more
 
AFAIK the 6700 is an enhanced version of the 6600, but not quite a 6800 yet. Will let you know how it performs when I get the machine.

kongwane, those LCDs from Medion are awesome. I am thinking about ordering a 19" from Europe as well. The only thing I don't like is the 1280x1024 resolution. I'm used to 1600x1200 for 4:3 views, and are running 1920x1200 on my notebook. But, for an all in price of R3,850.- I think the Medion is still a very good deal.
 
well sitting here with an awsome lcd that has a BB bullet hole in it make u feel kinda crappy, LCD is crackekd and broken but the backlight still works. please tell me if u can get a good deal on a medion 17'' LCD
 
Special running at the Aldi supermarkets in the Netherlands. Don't know whether it's still on though...
