The price sounds good but I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading or should I just wait/spend extra money for a more up-to-date system. The parts I would be reusing if I was to do this would be: 2x1G PC3200 RAM Antec 380W PSU GeForce 6800 vanilla (non-ultra) IDE HD, DVD burner etc. So can...

My setup is used for typical home use: web surfing, internet, etc. I do occasional work in photoshop and spend a fair amount of time gaming. I don't want to build an entire system but if there are any worthy upgrades which wouldn't cost me more than $300 than I may consider.

:::bump::: Any opinions?

I wanted some opinions from all of you to see if there are any "worthwhile" upgrades to my system. It runs fine now but if there's anything that a "cost effective upgrade" please feel free to chime in. My current Rig: Athlon XP 2500 Barton @ 2100 Mhz 1G PC 3200 RAM 2x120 WD 7200 ATA 100...

Cancelled my order also and reordered online. About 850 with tax and still get cash back through fatwallet. Estimated ship date of 7/26, but from what I've read/heard it can ship as early as 2-3 days from order date. Also, of course prices will always go down but I don't see it going lower (or...

Yep looks like there is now a 35% coupon making a better deal by about $25 plus rebate through fatwallet/fatcash. I may have to cancel my order just to get the price difference!

Wanted to start a new thread even though the main topic is pretty much the same. Dell SB contact is selling 2405FPW for $803 with free ground shipping no coupons necessary. Not sure if you can add any coupons to sweeten the deal. If your have DPA (Dell Preferred Acount) then I believe you best...

Has anyone ordered through Eric1285's contact? I called and got a voicemail.

The guy at wipro said he can pricematch but he would need to see the order of the of the lower price. Can someone supply me with their order number? Though it sounds like the best way to go if you don't have DPA is to buy online and use an ebay coupon plus fatcash to get it close to $800 before...

I spoke to "Stan" and 2405 for $840 is still live. He claims that he will do price adjustment if it goes below $840 forat least the next 30 days. Should I pull the trigger on this one?

I only got the card back in November 04 so I won't be upgrading until at least end of this year or later. I'm not a "hardcore" gamer but I do use my computer for a lot of gaming. I was using my Ti4200 until then on my Mitsu 21" CRT. I was playing games at medium to high res @ 20-30 FPS and it...

Since I would be gaming a lot of the time, I would be able to span the game to both screens right? I haven't tried this personally, but I heard it can be annoying. Suggestions?

I have an unlocked regular 6800. I pretty much use my pc for internet (web surfing, ftp, email, etc.) 45% of the time and gaming (all types - new and old) 45% of the time. The remaining 10% is used for various tasks: photoshop, word processing, quark, etc. If i plug anything into the screen...

I use my pc for typical home use: internet, home office, and a decent amount of gaming. What is more practical: dual 20" or single 24" --- strider209, Your automated thread subscription notices are being returned to us with the error message: Unknown host: <your user name>@attbi.com...

This may be off topic but is it worth paying almost twice the price of a 2005fpw to get the 2405fpw? I'm interested in the 2405 but it's hard to convince myself it's worth the price.
