    Building a cheap system

    I'm trying to build a system for video editing/audio editing, etc for real cheap. I do not need a case but I do need a monitor as well. My budget is no more than $700, though I might go the route of Dell to get the monitor, since I can use my credit account...maybe. So I decided against going...

    Dual Core?

    I like to do media encoding tasks on my computer. Mainly putting video on my ipod. But I don't know if I should go dual core or not. I'd like not to spend the $300 it costs to go dual core on the AMD side, but I don't really trust Intel with anything. So is it worth the extra dough to go to...

    GeForce 6150, etc.

    So I am in hte process of building a light gaming/dvr type machine for myself and I was wanting to pick up an nVidia GeForce 6150 motherboard with the integrated graphics. My point for this is not wanting to buy a video card that won't be able to be HDCP compatible. So I was going to use the...

    6600GT or X800XL

    I am looking for a good video card to play NBA Live '06, Madden, etc. on my pc. I am going to get the X2 4200+ as well. So I've been cutting and it's down to two. I want the card to be silent, because that's just how I am, so I need passive cooling. So far, the only two around my budget...

    Build suggestions

    Well I'm attempting to build a new system for myself as a gaming/pvr/digital media editing pc. How's this build? It's just over $1,000 from newegg.

    The Switch

    I just want to say, I'm switching BACK to PC from Mac and it's going to be fun. Mainly because Mac users are pompous asses who think they're stuff is the best and you talk way too much about iLife, thinking it's the greatest creation ever. And they say how it costs like $500 more to make a...

    Pentium 4 630 maybe?

    So in my quest to build a system, I decided to ask each question about the components seperately. I do game a little, but not a ton. Just sports games like Madden or NBA Live. ANd I also do media encoding, video editing, etc. Would a dual core processor be for me? Or should I hold off on it...

    Power supply rec.

    I need a recommendation for a good, quiet, power supply to power everything I have. My Radeon 9800 Pro seems to be lacking from my 250w ps, even though it's been like that for 9 months. Also, the thing is, my case is a micro-ATX case, one from HP, so I don't know if that makes a difference or...

    iBook 12'' vs HP dv1000

    I want a good notebook for around $1,000. What has scared me away from the dv1000 is the fact that it can be scratched easily, from what I've heard. Also concerned about the build quality. I know the iBook's durability is very good. But I do like the widescreen on the dv1000. The OS doesn't...
