Hello, I'm building a gaming computer and will get either the NEC Multisync 21" and the AMD 3800+ or the FX-55 and the 19". What would you suggest?

Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

Hello I was looking at their Gamer's edge setup, as the Raptor is way too expensive, and I want to go SLI and AMD. I would like some advice on the setup. I want to get the best "bang for my buck" and be able to upgrade for a long time, but i don't want to upgrade a lot. I will get one video...

Are cyberpower and ibuypower legit? I mean I'm really worried about all the negative stuff I just read about them... How comps come shipped without cables connected and scratches and overheating and so forth... Anyone have experience with either?

Ok sounds great. Should I wait until after Christmas for a price drop? Would it be that substantial? Thanks.

Thanks for all of your input. By the way, I hope noone takes this as a "hey look at me" type thing, these are honest questions that I want to ask those in the know before I make the purchase. :) 3 questions: 1) If I get that motherboard right now, is it a guinea pig type of situation...

CoolerMaster TAC-T01-E1C Wave Master Aluminum 420W Case (SILVER) (939-pin) AMD ATHLON64 4000+ Processor (Maybe get a 3800 and upgrade to FX-55 later) (939-pin) ASUS nForce4 SLI Chipset Mainboard ULTRA X-Connect 500W ATX PS w/2 80mm Fans - Black SKU 1GB (512MBx2) PC3200 DDR400 Memory...

Thanks you guys for all of your repsonses. My computer knowledge is admittedly limited and I am still a little confused. I do realize I don't need SLI *right* now, but I do need a computer in the next month or two and wanted to get one that would last a very long time. You guys have been very...

Hello, I am trying to build a gaming computer ultilizing the new SLI technology that has just come out. I really want a gaming computer that I will not have to upgrade for a *very* long time and I thought that a high-end SLI AMD-based computer would do the trick. I do not want to put it...

Thanks for all your replies. After more research, it looks like cyberpower is the way to go for me. They were consistently $1000 cheaper than most, such as Alienware and ABS. How can they be so cheap? Has anyone heard anything negative about them? Also, does anyone know when AMD is going to...

Wow Cyberpower looks really good. I put in nearly identical specs for their computer and Alienware and Alienware was more than $1000 more expensive. Has anyone else has experience with Cyberpower?

Well, I had a real bad experience a few years back putting a computer together and I don't want to go through the time or stress or whatever. Bad excuse, I guess. Ok so it looks like the most cost-effective solution would be to go to a computer hardware store, perhaps give them a list from...

Hello, I'm new to these forums and I apologize if you've seen this question 1000 times. But, after reading through the forums, you guys are obviously very knowledgeable about such things. I want to buy a new computer. I have a Dell I purchased in May of 2000 that was top-of-the-line then...

Hello. I am in need of advice in buying a new computer. This computer's specs would be geared towards gaming, 3 games in particular: Half Life 2, Doom 3, and mainly World of Warcraft. I cannot spend more than $2000 and was looking at the Dell XPS setups. I am not the most computer literate...
