With no antivirus installed my laptop will go on standby with no problems with my Linksys wireless adapter/card plugged in, but if I try the same with antivirus installed my screen turns black and just hangs and I have to manually restart. However, if I unplug my wireless card before standing by...

I just got my AVA today, so far I am very happy (after a couple hours).

And AVA gets to see that number?

How do they know who you are when you are posting on resellerratings if you simply use a different user name than you register with here or on AVA's site?

It got a 8694 3DMarks score according to AVA. Is that what you would expect from this build? Thanks!

Yep, I didn't request or pay for any special wiring.

Check out how it is going so far. Does everything look good to you computer experts? http://www.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=110 You know what to fill in where the hearts are: "ava direct"

Now the toshiba is gone, so the Samsung 220WM is the new competition against the Acer at the same price. Which should I go with?

I have a $230 gift certificate to amazon.com and just ordered a new PC from AVA Direct, so I am going to buy a new monitor. I need to buy one on amazon with my gift card around $230. These two fit the bill, which should I choose? Thank you so much for the help!! Option 1: Toshiba...

LOL:D

Here are some things I would consider: -CPU - you may want to look at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=Q6700 -Corsair 750W (only $130- good deal!) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006 -Memory - G skill 2X2 GB = 4GB...

Just ordered. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it in a few weeks! ANTEC, Nine Hundred Black Mid-Tower Case, ATX, No PSU CORSAIR, CMPSU-620HX HX Series Modular Power Supply, 620W, 80 PLUS®, 24-pin ATX12V EPS12V, Triple +12V, Multi-GPU Ready GIGABYTE, GA-P35-DS3L, LGA775, Intel...

I emailed them and they said " I would assume the price changes to take affect early next week. They could possibly take affect the day of fluctuation, depending on if our webmaster is able to change the prices." So I will order once they are changed.

Thank you for that review! I think I will bite the bullet and go with the 8800 GTS. I also think I'll wait to order for a week or so for the Intel price cuts so I can get the Q6700 for the same price as the Q6600. Do you like your Thermaltake Tsunami case? I am wondering if I should change...

I agree, but I want to be as futureproof as possible. I will probably be keeping this system for at least 4-5 years and will be upgrading my video card probably a couple times during this time, so I figured I go for the extra 100W for an extra $37. Does this make sense? By the way, you have...
