Titan, I actually did get the shell shocker price as well. At the current price, I would definitely prefer the ram without the heat spreaders. I suppose in some applications there might be a point to it, but I don't like the way it looks. But, that's me. Thank you for posting the original build...

LagunaX, that was an awesome buy. If you got it for the 400 dollars, he did lose money! Sunburn, I am allergic to buying desktops from anyone. :D Seriously, I've had basically 2 boxes in the last 10+ years and both of them I've built myself. And, as anti.machine mentioned, I just like doing...

I've been thinking about building a new machine since the first of the year... I was about to do it back when the SB chipset was recalled. Then I got busy on some other stuff, so it has taken me until now to finally take the plunge. I've been overwhelmed with all the new cpu's on the market...

Regardless, I am going to pick up that cpu on Ebay. Thank you SM625! That's an excellent call. And, I didn't know that flash games like Frontierville use more than one core. So, yeah, that would give this old system a good boost. It's rock stable, built on an Asrock board. Over the years, the...

YEah, Happy, it really does suck. That is a great price. The 2500K is looking better. Now I just need to actually make a decision on which on of these ideas I am going to implement. It will probably be this coming week when I order the parts. Excited about upgrading after all these years...

Thanks for the replies! I hadn't thought about the A8-3850. That's not a bad idea, and I am sure the graphics would do just fine for what I use it for. I will definitely look into it further. cubeless, unfortunately, there isn't a Microcenter any where close to where I am at. I looked and...

Okay, it's time for an upgrade. I'm still working with a Socket 939 Athlon 64 3200+ that I built over 5 years ago. For what I use the computer for, the system is still fairly adequate. It is showing a little wear though, and I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. Since I've been...

I love it! That is hilarious! And, don't think for a minute that it hasn't been tried!

I stand corrected! Missed the common wall part...

Just chug a good forty, and you'll be fine... that's what I used to do back in the day. Of course, I'm an alcoholic... but diabetes saved me, I guess... sad to look at it that way. But, I'm too afraid to drink like that these days...

If they'll move, push em apart. 1/4 is hardly going to hurt anything. Obviously, if they are load bearing, which in a closet, I hardly doubt it, they won't move. But, if they move, push them suckers apart and modify as necessary. Not rocket science...;)

:biggrin:

Looks good, Nebor. But, the bottom there makes a serious argument for Modular psu's. ;)

There seems like there were more problems with this Super Bowl than any other Super Bowl that I can remember. Probably because it was in Dallas and Jerry Jones had something to do with it. I've never liked that guy. Three times face value? I bet there is going to be some lawsuits filed over...
