Campy ... thanks for the help. My 20 year old case was expensive when I got it, so I decided to spend some more and go with something that might last longer. I am looking into a Rosewill cullina, NZXT h700i or Corsair Crystal Series 570X.

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning to shifting to the ASUS TUF X299 MARK 2 and will look into the NH-U14S. As the items in hand were gifted, I am trying to build around them WHM1974. It is primarily used for image analysis.

I'd very much appreciate any thoughts on this build from a compatibility standpoint. I only build a system every 6-8 years, and my current one is 7 years and starting to cause problems. Use is primarily a lot of image editing and some light video editing. I have several excellent components, a...

Thanks. Yes, I'll be buying in the US. I have a 500W Thermaltake Purepower. If I do want to try an OC, is there a preferable motherboard?

Current System Asus M4A785TD-M EVO with an AMD Athlon II X4 on Win xp Use: - Light photoshop work - Nero or Adobe Suite to burn DVDs that contain compilations of home videos - No real gaming - I tend to build every 3-4 years and spend ~1,200-1,500. I would like to get into more video editing...

Thanks folks.

Situation: Three PCs, two laptops at home with mp3s organized on mediamonkey Need: Tablet device that could be used to read PDFs (my weekend work reading), surf the web on wi-fi only, play games that keep the 4 year old occupied, listen to music, play ripped DVDs I own on plane rides for the 4...

So if you have a 60 GB SSD and use it for the OS and a few heavily used programs, could you still use a 30 GB SSD to speed up a 1 TB HDD that holds most of your files?

My Tyan Tiger S2460 with dual Athlon XP 1800+. It is 10+ years old, and froze on me once in seven years of use. My daughter now uses it to play kiddie games on PBS and Nick. Works well for that.

My current setup: crappy AT&T DSL, wired PC running XP Pro SP3 and two other computers wireless on the same OS. With a new build planned for the wired PC, I'd like to upgrade to Win7 64. Any problems with the two older computers, which will still run XPSP3 connecting to the network? Also...

I'll check to see if all four cores are carrying a full load during transcoding later today. Thanks.

I use Adobe Elements to assemble and burn the content. The content consists of small home movies (from my FLIP) and still photos with a soundtrack background. Most of the three hours is spent on the transcoding portion. Actual burning is done pretty quickly. I have tried using Nero Vision as...

Thanks ... it could very well be the SATA DVD. In that case, a new build makes sense. However, most of the time is spent with Elements preparing the files for burning.

This was the build one and a half years ago: Asus M4A785TD-M EVO using onboard graphics AMD Athlon II X4 630 95W AM3 2MB 2800MHz Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4 GB (2x2 GB DDR3) Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU 500W V2.0 PSU WinXP Pro SP3 The machine served well enough for general household use. However...
