It's been about 8 years since I built a new rig so I wanted to run by my picks to ensure I wasn't overlooking anything crucial. Answered the questionnaire below. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming mostly with some light spreadsheet...

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll try these ideas out.

Question to computer builders, I purchased a new pre-built computer (specs below) and this morning after setting it up, I tried to update my Logitech mouse drivers. Afterwards, I got some error message, I rebooted the computer, got a BSOD, rebooted then again and after that reboot, I...

Installing the nForce chipset drivers seems to have done the trick. Both dxdiag and catalyst drivers seem to recognize it now. Thank you -very- much for your help. I am gunna install the 4.10's now per Mem's advice after cleaning out my drivers. Thank you both again for pinpointing the problem...

Holy fast response Batman, did you just respond in 10 secs!? Gunna check that now, will post back asap. Thanks for uncannily rapid answer

Looking for a good package for a color printer able to print decent quality picture images and also able to fax. I am not sure if this falls in the all-in-one department or not, heck I don't even currently own a printer but I have recently got my hands on a digital camera so I guess it would be...

gsellis : Hmm, for the cost of an external drive, I would prefer to hold off and get the next generation video card! That's just me tho. Thanks for the info!

I took a look at the Chenbro Xpider and it looks like a solid case but it's a bit too flashy for my sedate taste(what can I say? I am a boring =P). As far as the dvd+-rw, I have three computers at home and if I were to get one, it would need to be external one for all three to share( I...

Also, another aspect, is the Sonata case easy to add fans to? I notice it only comes with one fan which I assume is for the powersupply in the rear. I assume I should add a dremel the to overall cost to the build? I dont want a tornado under my desk but I don't want the rig to shutdown due to...

To sorta future-proof this system, would it be better to get a full tower or does a mid-tower allow enough room for expansion. I have always used a full tower myself but I also have 3 pci slots free atm. Anyone make any personal recommendations for an aluminum full tower case? Edit: Looked...

In retrospect, I wanna build the system myself. Just more fun that way -). Any recommendations on a cheaper case and p/s package so I can get another 512 ram?

Only a 90 day warranty? Hmm is this typical for used vid cards? Seems a bit risky but maybe I am just a risk-averse buyer.

Another twist I see. Just hopped over to the Hot Deals forum and I see a computer with the following specs: Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.8GHz with 533MHz front side bus Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition 512MB Shared DDR SDRAM at 333MHz FREE UPGRADE TO 80GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive FREE...
