For $184 for a E6550.. at newegg/mwave you can easily get a E6750...

How about an ATI X1950Pro.. those run for $150 or so..

Ahh Ok.. my first day using Vista.. haven't used it before.. But I do know what you're talking about. I definitely need to learn how to disable that. I'll find it.

Just wanted to thank you guys for all the suggestions.. you have provided much more than the nvidia forums and guru3d combined. I did try the safe mode approach this morning but it got stuck on loading up whatever files it required for safe mode. From there I gave up because I was preparing for...

Hey all, Yesterday I freshly installed Vista 64 after piecing together my new box. Heres my issue. After install everything was perfect. I realized that Vista was using its own outdated drivers for my EVGA 8800GTS 640mb card. I went to the evga site for some more recent drivers (Not sure...

I was hoping to hear something like that as I've been reading HOCP forever and I have always trolled the forms. I'm by far not a huge hardware guy but I *think* I understand enough of reading these forums and reviews that I could piece something pretty good together that most people will just...

Ahh thanks for all the input enginurd. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I'll most likely try swapping out either the Tuniq's fan or the case's fan.

I'll be sure to contribute to this thread once I get it up and running. In all honesty my expectation isn't high only because I've been using a 15" laptop for 2 years now. I had given up my gaming rig awhile back in which I was using a CRT. After enough research though, I went with the CW...

Am I putting the S-Flex over the HSF? Considering the Tuniq Tower is a HSF.. how could i go about mounting it right over? ***EDIT** Didn't realize till earlier that the Tuniq came with its own fan... Hmm what to do with the S-Flex? Find a way to mount it over the heatsink/fan to blow out more...

is that where its going? Intake on the bottom? hehe.. I know it comes with 2x 120mm no?

Yah so, I won't lie.. I went out to best buy and picked up a 226CW yesterday. Cost me $415 or so after tax and everything. Well over my budget but its ok.

Thank you random. I was also assuming that if I went with a 24" I would have to also upgrade my 8800GTS 640mb to a GTX or Ultra to make up for the resolution difference? I all honesty I didn't want to spend more than $300 on an LCD, but I went out and paid $415 or so after tax and everything...

AHH damn... on the Cheaper Cudas... :( I honestly didn't know which S-Flex to get. I kinda played duck duck goose. Not to mention, I don't even know where to put the S-Flex.. I'll figure it out I guess. Now I just need a gaming LCD to go with it.. especially under 24"...

I'm deciding if I want to go pick this up for my new build today. I'm not sure what to get for a 22" lcd and for my newly built gaming rig. I really can't afford the dell 24" and I don't know if I want to slip into the 20"..

Basically this is a OVER Budget - Midrange Gaming box. Yes I realize I got the E6750 a little over priced, but it was available. What do you guys think? I'm also going to Raid 0 the 250GB drives as I already have 3x 500GB external drives for all my important stuff. I'm also thinking about...
