    $800 or less Budget Build for friend...

    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...

    Friends new Computer needs some feedback

    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!

    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...

    OMG MY PANTS BURNED OFF Target Laptop $29.99

    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.

    Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA black PC case $92.99

    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.

    eVGA GeForce 7800 GTX from moarchcomputer.com

    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.

    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...

    Monarch "quality service"

    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...
