My friend asked me to help him select parts for his new desktop because his lap top died on him. Basically, he has a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. All he needs is a tower with the components inside the tower. He doesn't plan on Overclocking and he isn't planning on doing any heavy...
No, he'll be using his old keyboard, monitor, etc. The only required pieces are the ones I listed. If he decides to go with AM2 then he'll need to buy new ram, but I don't think he's willing to try it out due to the fact that AM2 is too new and not stable. Thanks!
My friend just asked me to comment on his build. I told him what he needed to hear, but I would also like to hear other people's opinion on the build. Here it goes:
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 motherboard- $99.99
eVGA 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 Video Card Model#256-P2-N583-AR- $279.99...
Hi, my friend is planning to buy this computer on ebay, but I told him to wait because with that money, he can customize his own computer by buying the parts individually. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Sony-Vaio-RB-VG...07QQcategoryZ52476QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Think the corsairs I listed above is compatiable with the dell? On corsair's website, it doesn't list anything about being compatiable with the dell. Thanks!
I have a dell dimension 4700. Currently, I'm running 2X256 ddr2. I was thining about adding 1 more gig of ram into the system. Is it recommended to put 2X512 or should I just grab a 1X1 gig stick? I'm debating between these:
1 gig stick...
Lucky me, my connect3d x800gto unlocked successfully to 16pipes. :) I bought it the day after Black Friday from Newegg and I was afraid that my card was locked at 12 pipes. I haven't done much overclocking yet but I did try 3dmark05 at stock speeds with 16 pipes at 400/980 Mhz and got 4900...
I'm hoping that this new Bios rev. isn't true because I just ordered one from newegg 2 days ago. I should be receiving my connect3d x800gto pci-e from newegg this thursday or friday. I'm hoping mine unlocks and will oc well. Let's hope for the best that this review isn't true and is made up! :)
Just to let you guys know, the target retail chain does not sell laptops. The online store carries many items that the retail stores don't. Just to clearify a few things here. I'm only a part time worker at target. It's more like pocket change to buy my books at school.
I can't seem to unzip this file. It keeps saying "Either multipart or corrupt ZIP archive." I've downloaded this file from fileplanet three times already and it has said the same each time. The file size I have for WoW file is 2.81gb. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I had the same problem and all i did was sent it in to sony and they fixed it...It had problems reading some games and also movies...sony did it for free and I only paid for shipping. (about a year ago when i sent in my ps2)
I'm currently using this case and I LOVE IT! It has one of the best air flows for a case because of the 2x120mm fans and 1 90mm fan. As for th e price, at most it is warm, but not hot. Compusa had it on sale after rebates for about $70-80 after rebates a while back. My 2 Cents.
I was looking into buying a gig of ram and saw these Kingston Hyper X pc3200(ddr400) ram.
Model Numbers: (2x512)
KHX3200AK2/1G $182.95
and
KHX3200AK2/1GR $99.99
I was wondering what the differences between these are? I can see that the only differences is that R at the end of the...
Their service is good, but they're just slow on shipping. If you're not in a hurry for the card then order from them, but other than that, they're a good place to order from.
For $125, I can get this 17" LCD monitor new in retail packaging. Would you buy it if you were me?

My only complaint is that it is only D-Sub and not DVI and also...
Same here, I couldn't resist myself. I just ordered Peanut Grizzly for $64.92 shipped. Such a great deal and I should be getting it on the 30th of August! Great shoes for a great price.

I just bought this video card from newegg and was wondering if anyone has had good luck with it? In terms of unlocking the 4 extra pipes and also OCing the core? Which program should I be using?(rivatuner vs coolbits vs any other programs?)
(If I am unable to unlock and oc the...
SMARTPOWER 2.0 POWER SUPPLIES 500 - SP-500 $56 shipped
or
FSP AX500-A $82 shipped
Between these two, which is better. Seems that the sp-500 has more power than the ax500. The ax500-a looks better and comes with sleeves but costs $30 more. Is it worth it or should I just go with the sp-500...
I agree with monarch being super slow with orders and shipping. I just ordered my dfi nforce4 ultra from them 3 days ago(8/18/05) and it just shipped today(8/20/05)...Now that I know how slow they are compared to newegg, I don't think I'm going to order from them again, unless they have an item...
How high can the VDIMM on the epox nforce4 ultra go?
Get back to the point, both the epox and dfi nforce 4 ultra boards are decent. Just depends on your budget.
$109 for epox
and
$129-135 for dfi (depends on where you buy it from)

any other's around that same price range that will go well with my new rig:

Think the above psu is enough for my new rig? Is the psu also quiet?
I'm going to be using this psu on this new rig of mine:

If I was to OC the retail version and something was to happen to the cpu, does it void the warranty? How would the manufacture or newegg...
Thanks for all the suggestions!
As for the monitor selection, I couldn't find any good 17 inch LCD with good response time and dvi. Instead of spending $200+, I went with a cheap 19 inch CRT for about $85-90 after a $30 rebate from Tigerdirect. As for the suggestion on the mobo, I think I'm...
Any other suggestions before I push the button? Should I wait 2 weeks or should I just order now? I know that I'll likely only save about $40-50 if I wait, which I don't really care about. Any suggestions or comments about my questions above are welcome! Thanks!
Yea, that silverstone case looks nice, but i'm looking to get a black case instead because of the NEC3540a being black and all. I was looking at PSU and this might be the one: FSP Group 500W Prescott 24/20/6pin 12CM ATX Power Supply $70.00
