    Dell 2007WFP for $359

    lol i am on the verge of buying one too, but am slightly hesitant because of these "issues". a 2007WFP would go nicely with my current 2005FPW :-)

    Another PSU thread (dont worry, i know the facts, just need opinions)

    two important questions : what case, and what mobo? I asked myself the same question you're asking about PSU's a month ago. I ended up going with the FSP 600W, because its long cables have no problem with the P180 case, and because it has the fewest issues with a DFI mobo (Seasonic's seem to...

    My RIG - need help with set up and software

    hey dude, i built a computer a few weeks ago for the very first time. some of the stuff online is helpful, but the most important thing is common sense and patience.

    if you have an Arctic Freezer Pro 64 and DFI ultra-d, please advise

    anyone who owns an arctic freezer pro 64, and a DFI ultra-d board -- which direction is your fan blowing? to the rear of the case, or towards the PCI slots? it seems like the mount isn't so stable if it is rotated 90 degrees to face the rear of the case, because all that's holding the bulk of...

    What do you guys think about this computer?

    if you're gonna overclock, you gotta go with a DFI motherboard.

    URGENT (please) : is the GPU supposed to fit?

    Hi, currently building my rig. Never done this before, but something doesn't seem right... I am trying to fit a Sapphire x1800xt into a PCI-E slot on a DFI ultra-d board. almost all the pins go into the slot all the way, but the pins closest to the case back side still have a teensy bit...

    i got lucky with dell

    despite their notorious customer service, i spent an hour on the phone with a rep two nights ago about the infamous 2005FPW backlight bleeding problem, and the replacement just arrived this morning. I am using it right now, and it has 0 dead pixels and no bleeding. i should buy a lottery ticket...

    New shipment of evga 7900GT at the egg

    i am in the same boat... if the 7900GT was in stock on monday, i would've bought one for sure. but instead, i had to wait, and luckily, newegg had a sapphire x1800xt 512MB for $309 yesterday (back up to $319 now). i think it's a much better value than this crazed 7900GT

    good speakers?

    yea... i am not an audiophile at all, but i do have a sense of quality. i bought a pair of sennheiser HD-212 headphones to replace my iPod headphones, and wow was that a change. likewise, my current speakers are the crap coming out of my laptop, and watching movies/playing games is half the fun...

    POLL: 7900GT vs. X1800 XT

    if this was posted on sunday, i would've immediately said 7900GT. i would've bought on in a heartbeat if any were available. with a stroke of luck though, i waited and found a sapphire x1800xt 512MB on newegg for $309 -- that's $15 cheaper than the 7900GT, and it lets me play any game full-blast...
