When I built my first system, I got a SATA drive that didn't come with any drivers. After hours on end of trying to figure out how to boot from it and trying to install Windows XP, I just decided to buy another IDE drive instead and use the SATA as a secondary. It turns out that I had to...

I'd reccomend the 79.00 Corsair memory from Newegg. It's not a big deal, but it's only 10$ difference. Also, if you don't mind dealing with refurbished products, this K8N Neo Platinum is a very nice motherboard. I don't have much experience with them, but my friend has it and it seems to be...

Oh ok. I don't know why I thought you had a socket 754. :o For some reason I thought you said MSI K8N Neo Platinum, not Neo Platinum 2, so I figured you had a socket 754. In my Sonata, I don't have any trouble with my Silent Tower heatsink. I actually have about 2 inches of room between the...

Does anyone have a clue what the expected MSRP is? lol MX 700 will be fine for me for a long time. :)

You should get a 939 socket processor instead for future upgrades. I don't think they cost much more. I picked up my AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 939 socket at NewEgg for $350. They're back up for $420 for some reason, though. And do you really like the Tsunami that much? IMO you it's a ripoff, it's...

Ok, thanks. The fan controller I'm getting can handle up to 18 watts. I can't find out how many watts my 4 pin fan uses (it's the one that came installed with the Antec Sonata). Is there a good chance that I won't be able to use it?

I'm planning on getting the Coolmaster Cool Drive 4 temperature monitor/fan controller. However, 2 of the fans in my case have the large 4 pin molex connectors. I was wondering if there was any converter I could buy so I could control them, since the Cool Drive 4 fan controller only has 3 pin...

I've tried to set my old HD to both master and slave, and I'm pretty sure I set the jumpers correctly for both configurations. Should it be set as master or slave? When I try to boot from the CD, it gives me three options: 1. Install Windows XP Pro (don't want to lose all the stuff on my HD)...

Which processor are you getting?

Ok, so I just bought all the parts for my first computer that I'm gonna build myself. I got: ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo with K8T800 chipset AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 160 gb Samsung SATA HD 30 GB Western Digital IDE HD (from my old comp) Radeon X800 Pro (but I'm trying to get it set up with my PCI version...
