    Thinking of building this system, tell me if I am doing the right thing!

    maybe the 6800gt is out of ur budget, I doubt the 6600gt is because it is fairly cheap.

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    Ahh, mine won't let me use the $35 off code because I have to be at Dell home and I am using Dell EPP to get the 2005FPW because then it is only $636. I missed out on the recent savings, but oh well.

    I am looking for you, but I don't see any GT's for PCI-E available, just an Asus GeForce 6800 PCI-E

    I would say they probably add approximately $600 to $700 on the price that you could make it yourself for.

    But for that price it should include the A8N, thats what I meant, not that you should get it. There is a difference, but it wouldn't be too big depending on what drive it is. A 250GB with a 16MB cache and NCQ would almost be just as fast, plus you have a lot more storage. Do they have...

    How loud should a typical hard drive be?

    Well, I have to turn my music volume up full blast just to drown out the sound of my HD's. Actually, the Raptor isn't too loud from what I have heard, but I couldn't say for sure.

    the 6800 GT oc will perform better than dual 6600's in SLI.

    Advice need for a home computer config

    Is there a certain price range you are looking to spend? For the hard drive, the best bang for your buck I think is Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB for only $102. The 120 is $88, so for $14 on top of that you get 80gb more, and the 160gb model is $95, so for only $7 more you get 40gb.

    You could also go for an Antec "Sonata" Case w/ 380 PSU that would cost you $40 more, but I definately think it would be worth it.

    Advice need for a home computer config

    I would go with 1GB Mushkin PC-3200 over the 512mb of Crucial of Kingston. Plus, you save like $15.

    It is decently prices but I would want another HD for storage, and I don't know why they go with the A8V Delux over the A8N. If I was paying $3k I would want the second one. You could build the same computer for less, but still a good price.

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    It's because those codes aren't valid anymore I believe. I tried them and did not get a single one to work, and I think that is the case, that the promotion is over.

    I have a question on the Video Card. How much of a noticable difference will there be if I do not game. Or do you think I should go for it incase I go back into gaming later?

    Is ZipZoomFly a reliable seller?

    If you have FREE 2-day shipping and it takes 5, I still don't see why you should complain, it was FREE.

    Okay, based on what you told me, this is what I am thinking of doing. Mushkin Dual Pack 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 (Saves $114) Raid-0: Taking out the two Barracuda's (Saves $224) BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC Adds $210 So in total that knocks it down by $240 with the shipping...

    The Maxtor drive I have above is almost as fast as the Raptor with its 16MB Buffer and NCQ technology. Plus it has a lot more sotrage.

    I put in a 380 PSU instead of the 480, that took off $28. So should I knock off the two Barracuda's and stick with my Maxtor?

    I do not plan on doing anything special or out of the ordinary. I like my music and running average stuff. I want something that will last me a while and can be upgraded later without upgrading my entire system.

    Haven't decided on monitor, most likely Dell 2005FPW. The reason for the extra 300gb HD is because i want to keep my pictures and such safe from being lost.
