Thanks for the feedback so far.
I updated the case as I would really like a solid case and after some reviews of the Cosmos, decided the Lian Li might be a better path.
As for video card, probably still going to go 4870 in crossfire. I had contemplated the 280 but i'm willing to take the...
I haven?t built an all new computer for about 4-5 years now. So feel free to make suggestions and voice any concerns. Also keep an eye out to make sure I haven?t made some incompatible combos. Thanks!
1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
Gaming is my main concern
2. What YOUR budget...
Have you tried any programs available online yet? I tried this (freeware)
PC Inspector File Recovery
And got back most of the files i thought were lost off a crashed hd. And this is after I tried other techniques like the whole put it in the freezer. One thing to note if you try it is recover...
Just thought I'd post my story as well. Graduated in 2002 with a BS in computer engineering from NCSU. I would like a job working with robotics and embedded systems, but of course would take any engineering or software development type job. I've been applying since I graduated but no luck...
Yeah, computer engineering is a good choice if you want to get into development and design of computers and computer technology. Like someone said, its basically a combination of computer science and electrical engineering. As for specialization, you really wont get into anything as...
Another Ghetto Fix is air conditioning filters. You can either buy a sheet of it or get a big square and cut it to fit. I would even look for the kind with thin metalk weaved in so that you can shape it and hook it onto things. I used this for the front of my computer behind the main bezel...
They seem to be a great store. I've ordered on 2 seperate occasions with no problems. Got 2x256 of pc3200 corsair and gigabye 8sq800 motherboard from them and they are currently working and came on time and everything.
i got a 128mb one. I love it mainly cuz i dont have internet at home so that means i can download patches/programs/music etc of a t3 connection and take it home. Plus it fits in my wallet and is more durable than a regular floppy. For $200 you can get a huge one. I got mine for 50 a while...
or something similar?
Case
I like the case a lot and its great except for 2 main issues.
First
The supposed "sliding bays" are very poorly designed. I dont know if this is the same for other drive rails, but the fit is way too tight and way more hassle than plain old screws (which...
Getting closer to actually getting to put together my new computer as soon as a backordered gigabyte 8sq800 motherboard arrives. I was browsing various tech sites and people talking about how the heatsinks that come with processors often suck.
Is this the case for the Intels latest processors...
Yeah, i was confused about that at first, but if you read Intel's site, they are only for 3.06 ghz and above :(. And apparently this has been on chipz for awhile , just not enabled.
It might be, but you never know. It might be 400w but is it reliable and stable in the long run. Not all PSU's are created equal. I'm not an expert on this, just sorta passing along info from this board. I would suggest looking at this though for a quick thought...
