chain smoking ajoshis. korean only menus. popups up the wazoo.
gotta get out..

I already have CPU & motherboard, DDR RAM and CDRW...

- I want to buy a hard drive (60 gig or so)
- Monitor (LCD 15 inch or so)
- DVD (possibly combo DVDRW, CDRW to replace my current CDRW)
- Case (basic)
- Assembly of components

What sort of money will this cost me.
I figure some people have bought monitors, hard drives and should have a good idea of prices.

Any help really appreciated

I would do the work for you, but only you really know what you want and how much you want to spend.

The site is very user-friendly.

Ball-park figures:
Monitor: 450,000
HDD: 60,000
DVD-RW/CD-RW: 140,000
Case 40,000
Assembly of components?!?!

Cheapest Samsung on Danawa: TGIC-LC1500P = 397,000. We meet in the middle, Lemon Wink

I said 140,000 for the DVD/RW because that is the price of the Sony DRU530 8x....A friend bought one recently and I have the DRU510A...I think they are really good.

Most cheaper models are only 4x write for a DVD. About 15 minutes...not long, but spend a tiny bit more and get a DVD in 8 minutes. Cool.

I was high on the case, but one may as well get a nice one...it is almost like furniture...you have to look at it all the time. I hate all of those lights...just a distraction.

Assembly isn't too hard. I helped a friend recently and I must have been half-witted that day because I think he had a better handle on the situation than I did, and he was a novice!

If you do need help, PM me.

Yeah.. just looked on OMI and the DVD-RW drives continue to fall in price. 94,000w from Shinsaegae for a 4x drive. Good stuff. Mine's a 4x and that's fine for me.

Unless you're taking your monitor home with you , you should consider about 35,000 for a used 15 or 17" monitor. Not perfect but better than leaving 3 to 4 hundred thousand behind. Yongsan to the far left if you are standind at the bottom of the outdoor market looking at the building.
