I just bought a new tower. It runs beautifully and came with a three year warranty. I had absolutely no problems getting it up and running, and I doubt I'll ever have any problems with it in the future.

I'm just curious to see if it's worth it for the price I paid (KRW 754,000, but get back 300,000 of that from the tower I sold). I bought it in Yongsan. Here are the specs (DVD-ROM is omitted and audio is onboard):

System : Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. EP35-DS3R

It'll do the job. Why didn't you get the E8400?
