<0> are you going to play games? is this an sli motherboard?
<1> like a 350watt pp&c cooling is better than some lame-o 600watt
<0> is it a work board?
<2> Yes, i'm going to play games and no it isn't SLI
<2> what do you mean by work board
<0> as in non gaming :P
<0> work system*
<0> dunno why i said board
<2> oh no its a semi-gaming computer (not too much)
<0> (psst: i hear dlion LIVES to recommend psu's)
<0> get to it dlion
<0> :D
<2> lol
<1> hahaha
<1> how much do you want to spend?
<2> here's the PSU i have on my inventory at the moment, but I want to change it because it's kind of ugly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182009 (and dlion, i dont find those specs on newegg)
<0> i hear that that x1900xtx is a ****ing monster tho. whats the deal on that? someone said 550 minimum. i find that hard to believe
<2> umm about $60 or $70
<1> thats a cl***ic example of a ****ty psu rainon
<3> should i try to run 7800gt sli on my antec truepower 550, or should i get a sli approved power supply?
<2> lol
<1> sickman, you will be fine
<3> it wont be unstable?
<1> no, it will be fine
<3> ok thanks...
<2> dlion: what PSU do you reccomend? (keep in mind silence, I dont want a loud computer)
<0> but, but, but...IT HAS BLUE LEDS!
<1> sec
<2> k
<2> lol Jingles
<0> blue leds just make everything better. admit it dlion.
<2> I was a bit shaky when I saw Rosewill as the brand name..
<0> im a fan of antec
<0> till i get a ****ty one. then ill probably be a fan of someone else
<4> im getting ~ 2500 back from taxes
<0> upgrading then?
<4> maybe
<0> you know you are.
<0> dont fight it.
<1> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104908
<1> that might be decent
<5> I'm getting about that much back too.
<5> I just upgraded myself, so I'm gonna just sink it into either my savings account or put most, if not all of it into a money market or CD
<0> that doesnt have a blue led
<0> failed the l33t test
<1> leds are pretty gay imo, but i know alot of people like em
<2> dlion: hold on, my computer is kind of slow (like always)
<0> eheh
<0> i dunno enough about psu's to care. but then I dont run sli or 15 hard drives either
<2> dlion: i agree, thats why the case i'm getting is window-less no need to make it look pretty
<0> i just buy a name brand and **** it up.
<1> hard to go wrong with the better brand names
<1> even the best companies have a few bad apples tho
<2> ok while i add that PSU to my inventory what do you think about my mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131569
<1> i like asus boards alot
<1> dont know mucha bout that one tho
<4> are dell's cpus cheaper made?
<1> no, they are the same
<4> k
<0> thats not a bad looking board.
<0> too bad its only sata1
<0> other than that looks ncie
<2> Well, how well do you know you're SATA cables? I've never delt with them and i have compatability questions..
<0> nice, even
<1> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131530
<1> thats a good non sli board as well
<1> whats the sata connection question?
<4> the msi k8n-neo4 f is a nice board too
<0> better
<0> did msi ever fix their battery problems?
<2> dlion: hold on
<1> msi makes good boards
<0> last i heard they had a ****load of angry people killing their on board battery within 3 weeks to a month
<2> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144239 <- is that Hard drive compatible with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131569 that (the same as the other link) mobo?
<1> personally for nf4, i like dfi and asus
<0> i was going to try msi for my last board till i read about it here and there
<4> thats several harddrive
<4> s
<4> not just one
<1> that first link no worky raion
<2> oh it isn't? ok hold on
<4> what the **** is with me not being able to ****ing go to that god damn hard drive site
<4> for some ****ing reason i cant do anything on newegg that has anythign to do with harddrives
<6> don't swear
<4> it keeps making me go to the homepage
<2> k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822140168
<4> everytime i try to load it
<1> yeah that will work with it raion
<4> that ****ing keeps redirecting me to http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Suggested&Description=22-144
<2> because i had ATA 150 and ata 3.0 gb/sec and was confused..
<1> any sata drives should work with any sata controller, you may have to jumper a drive to force it to sata 150 mode, but all should work together
<0> just think of usb
<0> same difference
<2> lol ok last question and this one is based on opinion, what do you think of this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119068
<2> yeah i heard that same comparision
<1> thats a very nice case
<1> err looks wise
<1> im an aluminum fanboi, but you gotta pay for that ;p
<2> yeah, tool-less and i heard it has good cooling based on numerous reviews
<0> ive heard good things about it for the price
<2> lol
<2> i dont like aluminum too much, too flimsy for my liking :-/
<7> case seems fine
<7> but could do alot better if spent 100
<2> yeah, but i'm on a semi-tight budget
<7> i got all my cases for cheap like 25$ with psu heh
<0> unless yer gonna lan, having aluminum is almost meaningless anyway.
<7> one ohas lcd lightbars and windows for that cheap
<2> besides i tried looking for more expensive..window-less, nothing that looks good
<7> well jingles you gonna use your case for bomb protection?
<0> as in "weighs less to take with you"
<7> i like the silent cases from thermaltake
<2> yeah i might get a 80mm thermaltake fan since according to reviews the front fan is pretty loud :-/
<2> (of the case)
<2> i can't wait to upgrade from my current 567MHz P3 processor..
<2> to a 2.0 GHz AMD
<7> get a 120mm and adapter ?
<1> im surprised you can run mirc on that machine ;p
<1> jk haha
<2> LOL dlion
<7> i was just on a celeron 300mhz
<7> it was decently fast doing stuff
<7> 512mb ram
<1> i think fast is a relative term
<2> i have 192 ram :-/
<1> im sure 300mhz is fine for IE, but try re-encoding a dvd
<2> i was shocked to see my computer can actually run XP :-/
<7> maybe .01 ms slower than 3000hz box for opening stuff
<2> dlion: tried it..no fun
<7> it has win2k on it
<1> haha raion
<7> you run xp with 192 wowowo
<2> oh btw, does anybody know how to repair a DVD-RW drive that a CD exploded inside of :-/
<1> replace it
<2> lol
<7> exploded?
<1> and use better media next time ;p
<7> how did you do that
<7> i seen that on myth busters
<7> they had to try hard for it to explode
<2> NEC has super bad technical support, havent been able to reach them to try to get warranty (even though i might've voided it by opening it)
<2> it was an old CD
<2> and i left it in there for days
<1> yeah if its opened, they wont help you
<2> when i open it up, it was shattared
<2> dlion: they won't know if i put it back correctly right? :-D
<1> isn't there a seal/sitcker on it?
<2> no
<1> i guess they wont...
<7> really nec bad tech support? none my necs have died yet ;/
