There are some very nice deals! I think my list just got cheaper by 50-100 just by doing a quick scan! Thank you.

Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

I'm back for some more advice as now I'm really undecided as I mentioned in the above post. My budget obviously increased quite a bit if I want to get some graphics on that 1080p TV set. :( So, here's a list of things I am happy with with so far: CASE: Antec Fusion Black 430 - $165 (found...

Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

Well, that changes my whole game. I was going with AMD specifically because of their new 780G chipset platform with impressive onboard gaphics and ability to add an HD3450 and run it in hybrid mode to boost the graphics performance when needed. But, you're right, it would be frustrating to have...

Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

Thanks for the replies again. Hm... I would really like to get that Antec Fusion or Silverstone LC13B, but that one doesn't come with PSU, so it would work out to be the same price. I am still undecided about the 64-bit. Any comments on the IGP? I know it's still a new chipset, so I'm not...

Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

Thank you for the reply. I am looking to use this PC in my living room, so the Antec Fusion is mainly for look/space/design I guess. My current PC is build with Antec Sonata (their first version), so I love that series too. I know it's expensive. If there ia another HTPC case that is cheaper...

Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

OK, here we go: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Primary uses in the order: 1. The only PC in the apartment, so all web browsing will be done on it. I frequently browse with 10+ windows/tabs open at once. :) 2. Watching SD DivX content...

Is it time to step up to PCIe?

Thanks everyone. I think I'll wait this out until Christmas or so. Tarrant, I hear you on the S754. 939 came out weeks after I put my system together. Oh well, can't play the waiting game, or else I'd never buy anything. :D Now, I'm only debating a jump to AIW X800XL. If I do that, I should...

Is it time to step up to PCIe?

Well, I'm working on getting warranty service for my AIW 9700 Pro from ATI. The customer support is not all that impressive. I was thinking of upgrading my video card, but then again, I'm not sure I need to since I only play one or two racing games (FIA GTR, Richard Burns Rally). Considering my...

Router firewall vs software firewall

Thanks everyone. Mine is the basic Linksys WRK54, so I don't get the tweaking that's available for WRT version. :( I'll keep it. P.S. I also hate wires passionately. I hope that someone will come up with a built-in onboard wireless router in time for my next build.

Router firewall vs software firewall

I currently have Linksys wireless router between my cable modem and my desktop. I got it to be able to use wireless connection of my work laptop. Quite frankly the wireless router is spotty and lately I have just been connecting to one of 3-4 unsecured networks around my building because I get...

Stepping up to X800XL, will I be able to do 1600x1200 in FEAR?

I figured, I can just tack onto this thread... I too am contemplating updating my AIW 9700 Pro to AIW X800XL. The reason for my temptation is that the only two games I play (GTR FIA and Richard Burns Rally) are somwhat choppy ever since I got my 21"WS LCD which has res of 1680x1050. Will...

Logitech Driving Force Pro on a PC?

I really like the look of this wheel over MOMO Force and the 900-degree adjustibility is cool as well. Is it possible to have this work on a PC? Specifically, I'm playing FIA GTR and Richard Burns Rally. So, I'd like to know if the force feedback etc would work in those games. Thanks!
