should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

LOL. Built a DL380 G7 this morning for a client, installed 9 4gb sticks for each processor for 72gb total. The memory alone cost more than the server and extra processor kit together.

best case for 100-200 dollars

I just finished a new build in a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000. It was a lot of fun. I had tons of room and had a blast running the wiring in different ways to make it clean and perfect. It was in that price range and had free shipping.

need help installing e8400 hsf

BBall, you probably don't want to hear this, but I purchased an after market fan with mine. Once I read the instructions and got a grasp on how the pins worked, it took less than a few minutes to put in on. It was easier than I thought, because I read so many reviews that mentioned how difficult...

New build, old hard drive

First of all, sorry if this is a small problem, easily fixed by 90% of members here, but I'm stuck. New build finished today (E8400, 4GB DDR2, Gigabyte Mobo, same stuff everyone is getting). I am using old hard drives, one (a Raptor) has Vista installed and is selected as the boot disk. But...

I have a chance at good deal, worth it?

No, Heller, didn't have that model. They only had the ones listed in my original post. Sorry. I'm sure they had more when they first went on sale, but these "higher end" PSUs at a higher cost are the only ones left. This CompUSA is in Rockford, Illinois (61107), by the way. Anyone in...

Thanks PianoMan. Good advice for anyone who isn't lucky enough to have a CompUSA going out of business in their city. I hope it's as good to me as everyone says it will be. I've read nothing but good reviews. Troytime, buddy, they had four left when I pick mine up. Eric

Wow, thanks guys. As usual, helpful and informative. Before I went into CUSA today, I had done some research and planned on ordering the Corsair 650. I just wanted to see what they had at 40% off, and if any of the others were better. I'll stop back in tomorrow and grab one I guess. Thanks.

22" Samsung SyncMaster 225BW or Dell 2407WFP?

For the price, I couldn't pass up my 22" Samsung. I'm going to get another. I've had several Samsung monitors, no problems on any of them. Why I didn't choose them for my big TV purchase is beyond me. But I went with something else there.

Need quick help: Just upgraded to an X2 4600

DVD Shrink. I figured the DC chip would bump it down from 40 min. to a much lower time. But no.

Those drivers may be helpful, but I'm in need of the correct bios flash. Not sure that nforce driver will help my situation. Oh, updated sig. Thanks for the advice.
