I am thinking of getting a new thinkcentre...cause i really like the small compact factor of the thinkcentres...

i have my eye on the thinkcentre m series since they have the PCIE...

but before i go buying i want to know can i put another network card in it?

also which is the cheapest nvidia 6800 series card?

i am thinking ill need atleast 1 gig ram in it too....

i will be using the pc for mostly games and gfx and normal pc usage and it will on 24/7....

should i go for the thinkcentre or am i better off creating a new pc with a amd and a case mod ??

Any small-factor cases won't really have the expandability of a large case. As for the network card, as long as it has an open PCI slot, you're good to go (white slots, absolute standard for current mobo's). For the cheapest graphics card, go on Tigerdirect, Pricegrabber, or Newegg and hunt around.
