Guys, it seems that at long last I can post some pics of my build. Some of the labeling may look very basic, but I included it for people (like my previous self) who had never built a box before. It is a detailed as I could make it, with the purpose of illustrating how simple it is. If you...

optionman31601, I had the same dilemma as you. What I wanted was the best machine, for the best price. I was struggling with what to go for at the top end and what I could compromise on. I got a lot of information and guidance from our buddies here. I think you have the same needs as mine...

I think this is the card that Boli talks about; the 8400GS (pls correct me if I am wrong). If so, he alsao says that you can get it for $9.99 sometimes. This is one of those instances. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?sku=793497 <img...

RL8093, after my mobo started playing up, I got pretty frustrated. I had no tech support this time around!!!. Being a newbie at this operation, I knew this was bound to happen. Just my luck. I tried different ways of diagnosing the issue with help from the Corona boys and various forums. I...

I got the below Samsung monitors from eBay for $100. They are refurbished, but when I got them it seemed like it had not even been opened. With a little research, I found that some are still brand new (returned as excess etc.) and others are fixed (if they have any issues - 22 point check...

WF, your wish is my command :D Not exactly the King, but the Queen of the SSD Hill. This is a SATA III and the read and write speeds are almost comparable. For the price, I thinks it's not a bad deal...

WF, thanks for the summarized education on SSD. Those Vertexs are mighty fast. Actually double the speed of the Kingston I have (now I have something to look forward to :D ) On my build, I was actually going to settle for just the HDD as my trading style doesn't really warrant the speed of...

optionman31601, I usually just Google the parts I'm looking for and if it's my day, I'll find it there. However, most times it is a cat and mouse game, which I've gotten better at with time (nothing to really get good about in this game; JUST PATIENCE!!!). With time, your deal will pop out...

:D :D :D

I see that we may have a few potential builders and the transition to SSD seems to be in full effect. I didn't think I needed it, but after trying it out, I'm glad that I got it. It's like Amazon overnight vs 3-5 business days. You don't need the overnight, but it makes a whole lot of a...

WF, I'm putting together all that info ATM. I'm trying to have pics up here, to show how I built mine and I think it may be beneficial to someone that has never built one before (like me a few weeks ago). I'm trying to make it as dummy proof as possible. The labeling of the pics is taking a...

I completely agree with you. Initially, I had actually ordered this: Dell XPS 8300 Desktop: Core i7-2600 (3.4GHz), 1TB 7200 RPM HDD, 8GB DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT530, Windows 7 Prem 64-Bit $679 + Free Shipping Specs: Intel Core i7-2600 (3.4GHz) Processor 8GB DDR3 Memory 1TB 7200 RPM...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:!!! After trying everything, I have gotten 2 gpu's to work. Booting up is really fast and I'm happy with it overall, but for the last GPU!. For now, I can get the 4 monitors that I need. However, I called ASUS and their...

Tiki, looks like you are going to be my bad influence on ET!. First it was box building, now it's sitting options! :D I saw your ball and was quite tempted. On a serious note, how does it feel? Do you not feel that the ball will slip away and make u land on your a** or maybe that you...

You just killed this thread. Close the thread; the chair has been found!!! :D :D :D Now the only thing that'll allow the thread to go on is the price tag!. A little shy of $2000!!!

Lol! I had no idea that's what Boli did. I can't stop laughing. Well, WF, I like The Son of Sam and with all the help you have given to this thread, in your honor, we have a name. Since we're on the naming thing, and the sensation of making another build (btw, is this building boxes...

Went Fishing, that was a very humble gesture on your side :cool:

WF, I was wrong on this. What you had mentioned earlier was correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The first two PCI Express x16 slots are connected directly to the CPU integrated PCI Express controller. When only one video card is...

:eek: :eek: :eek: Could we have a diagnosis here!!!. I do have the RAM in BLACK and BLUE!!! Rather than in 2 blue slots (better config). I'll give this a try and get back to you. Thanks WF.
