bump!

I am selling: Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) New in Box from Fry's Electronics Lifetime warranty from Patriot OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) New in Box from Central Computers Lifetime warranty from OCZ SOLD

lol :D it was at an estate sale. My advice is to know your craigslist.

As I said in my first post, I find the best hardware at the best prices. Today I finally got my HDD, a 300GB Velociraptor for $30 new in sealed box, as well as a 150GB Raptor for $10. I also picked up an Antec 1200 for $40. :D That means pics today or tomorrow

It's already built and running, I just want to wait until I get a better HDD and organize my cables :D Here's a little teaser though: Teehee hard drive

Haha I don't wanna take photos just yet, since it's running off of an IDE drive with messy cables at the moment.

That build looks pretty good I got 4GB 1600MHz RAM for $73 at Micro Center. Total cost without taxes: $633.

In the upgrading I would sell the HR-01 (around $40 perhaps) so it would be an investment of around $20. I think the HR-01 is still good for a number of years though.

Thanks! I use a fan on my HR-01, just wondering if it's worth upgrading to a TRUE.

Which one performs better? I know the HR-01 is optimized for passive cooling, but how do the two compare in both passive and with a fan?

Works perfectly, lightly used, never overclocked or tampered with, still have the original package. Lifetime warranty from Crucial I'm only selling because I am upgrading to DDR3. Looking to sell for $65+shipping or best offer. More Info Here SOLD! I'm also buying/trading for 4GB of desktop...

I also have a Thermalright, I just bought an 1156 bolt through kit for $10 to use on my MSI P55-GD65

All of MSI's P55 boards should be solid overclockers. I know the GD80 and GD65 are, in addition to being pretty cheap. Edit: Didn't notice you already picked up the GD65, good choice :D

As far as I know, the i5 660/661 aren't released yet. Intel is still the leader, yes. The Gigabyte is decent, but you should check out MSI's P55 boards as well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130248&cm_re=msi_p55-_-13-130-248-_-Product...

The main difference between the i5 750 and i7 920 (both at 2.66GHz) is that the 920 has hyperthreading and the 750 is the 1156 socket while the 920 is 1366. Therefore the i5 utilizes dual channel RAM while the i7 920 uses triple channel. The i7 860 at 2.8Ghz is also 1156, however. If you do RAM...
