    Coolermaster CM Stacker 831 vs 832?

    I have already ordered the 831 model. I don't believe the air movement in the 832 is so much better that waiting another 2-4 weeks is worth it. /Buckfutter.

    Coolermaster CM Stacker 831 vs 832?

    Hey. As the topic says, i'm wondering if there is any reason for me to wait 2 weeks or more for the 832 model? As far as i can see, they are almost identical on the inside. Any of you have any experience with these cases? /Buckfutter.

    Q6600 vs E6850 (Short term [12 months])

    Got my Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP yesterday. Its a fantastic monitor for everything except FPS games. Like all other LCD monitors i've tried, this one is no exception. I guess i was kidding myself when i thought i could buy a LCD monitor that fill my gaming requirements. I may be very picky, but...

    I've ordered a GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R. Link As you can see its a very cheap Mainboard, but got the highest score in several tests. What makes the more expensive mainboards, expensive? I mean, why pay so much more for a mainboard when you can get a cheap one that is just as good? Anyway, Any...

    I've been waiting this long, i guess i can wait 1-2 more months. I really appreciate all the help and pointers you've given me over the last 2 days. I think i'm gonna wait for the X38 boards. It's not like i need a new computer right now (22 july). I got the following hardware right now...

    TT Ultra120 Extreme compatibility question

    Hey. I'm building a new rig and i was wondering if you guys knew for sure any P35 boards it fits on or another equivalent cooler? Also, is there any other cases except the Antec P182 with exceptional cooling that it will fit inside? /Buckfutter.

    Q6600 vs E6850 (Short term [12 months])

    If i'm gonna buy a P35 board, it need to work with the TT 120Ultra Extreme or equivalent cooler, and be a good overclocker. Any suggestions? You're right. I don't realy need a SLI board as the G90/G92 GPU is being released soon. I also have another question about PCI-E 1.0 vs PCI-E 2.0. I...

    Q6600 vs E6850 (Short term [12 months])

    The thing is. I don't want to take any chances getting a B3-stepping Quad in the mail. If i order a E6850, i know it will be a G0. And as NicColt so nicely put it, i will most likely upgrade again in about 12 months time. By then the G0 Quads will be in stock everywhere. /Buckfutter.

    Q6600 vs E6850 (Short term [12 months])

    Thank you. I think i'm convinced to buy the E6850. Its been nagging my mind for quite some time now. Should i go for PC2-8500 memory if i buy the E6850, or is the PC2-6400 ones good enough for overclocking? I'm also still wondering if i should buy that insane CPU-cooler. Might get unlucky...

    You're right. The cheapest Geforce 8800 GTX card i can get my hands on costs 670$. The XFX Geforce 8800 Ultra XXX costs 985$. At least in Norway. The hardware is somewhat cheaper in the States. Its quite a difference in price. I've already "hit the send button" as you so nicely put it. The...

    Ok. I've done some of your recommendations. My budget is high, so no problems for me switching a couple of hardware parts. I switched the Samsung SyncMaster 245B for the Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP one. Did some reading on it, and it sounds very promising. Actually i've already ordered it. I...

    Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, the rig will be used for heavy gaming. I've read that Crysis and Alan Wake will take advantage of the quad core fully. About the G0 stepping CPU's, there is no way i can know if i'm ordering a G0 stepping CPU or not. Its not like the web shops are...
