    I still might be able to get what I had originally planned if I can talk to my old man about it. Otherwise, I'll probably have to back it down to at most 600, preferably in the 550-575 range. I was considering going down to the DS3L as originally planned because I don't need the RAID but...

    Well, as luck would have it, I was denied for the Newegg preferred account, so I'll either have to go back to some of my lower specs or find some alternative funding.

    Thanks for the help with the power supply. And on the motherboard front, if I'm gonna go with the DS3R, is there any sureshot advantage of getting the DS3R over the DS3L?

    Shipping and tax is a deal killer on that one, but I'll go with the VisionTek on Newegg. Thanks for the advice. You know what...I might renege on my initial stubbornness to get the E4500 and instead go with the E2160 since the newer chips will be coming out soon and to save some money for now...

    I was actually talking to my supervisor about this today and I decided on the Abit board so I could get the better cooling and stuff. I'm planning on overclocking and feel like this would be a better board than the Gigabyte. I kind of wanted the legacy ports, but I could do without. I think I...

    I've got an Acer 22" Widescreen LCD. Sorry I forgot to respond to that part of your post. Should I possibly go for a Conroe processor? Or should I stick with the Allendale for now and then get one of the new 45 nm processors further down the road?

    So I did a lot of thinking over the past week and have updated my build a bit. I've decided that I'm just going to go ahead and sign up for a Newegg Preferred Account so I can get the zero interest for 6 months. With this, I'll be able to spend additional money up front. The new build is as...

    Okay, so I think I'm starting to finalize some things. The definites right now are: Intel E4500 Gigabyte P35-DS3L G.Skill 2GB PC2 6400 I'm debating whether to pull the trigger on the XFX 8600GT XXX since the rebate period ends today. I've also found a different PSU that should save me some...

    Gwarren007: I'm looking for something in the ATX format, not so much the Micro ATX since I have a couple PCI cards I need to use and if I get a decent video card, it'll need room to breathe. Thanks for the suggestions though! Tiraides: I'll probably keep the E4500, just would rather get...

    So i've been out of the game for almost 4 years and need your help with building a new system. For comparison, my current machine is an Athlon XP 1700+ with 512MB DDR. Originally, I was going to go with an AMD system but within the past day or two, I've had some time to read other's comments...
