    Need New Fan for Ti-4400

    It shouldn't be very hard at all. Just get some pliers for the little plastic screws and be gentle when removing the HS/F off the GPU core and you'll be fine. I'd suggest this if you're looking for silence.

    hard drive brands

    SATA 150 isn't any faster in the realworld than IDE 133 is. It's just a marketing gimmick for most SATA drives. If you go for SATA, assume the only benefits you'll receive is a newer interface and a smaller cable. :thumbsup: IMO, you just got a dud. Happens with all brands...

    memory that will do 2-2-2 at 500 mhz?

    Hey guys. im new here and would like some help.

    Wow, enough of the thread crapping. :thumbsup: Take a look at the building guide at the top of the forum. That should get you started on what parts you should be looking at. The AMD $1700 PC should be a good match for your needs

    Something is wrong with my raptor...

    forton blue 500 good for future sli setup?
