(Please try not to dig too much, RM3.9k is all the money I have in the world. <!--emo&:shock:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/shocking.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shocking.gif' /><!--endemo--> )<br />Lifestyle:Gamer + University Student (Hence the desktop v laptop dilemma.) <!--emo&:stars:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br />Specs: I&#39;m not asking for Mass Effect, will be happy in RA3, Kane&#39;s Wrath, L4D etc. <!--emo&:cool2:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool2.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br />Interested in: Asus X59 SR/ SL.
