Yeah. I did that. Asus is sending me a replacement. Thanks for the help though.

I'm having some weirdness with my system. I came back from a week vacation and my system wouldn't boot. I had the box unplugged during our absence in case of thunderstorms. I reset the BIOS, removed the 9600GT, and hooked a VGA cable up to the integrated graphics. The system booted. I...

Please disregard. I ended up doing a fresh install.

Done. I restarted. The New Hardware Wizard popped up asking for the drivers for the MS keyboard. I allowed Windows to search for the driver automatically. It searched for a long time but gave the the dreaded "the wizard cannot find the necessary software" error. In the properties of the MS...

I’m having some weirdness with my Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard and IOGear KVM on my work computer. Everything was functioning great this morning. We moved into our new offices today and I hooked up everything the way it should be. My keyboard and IOGear 4-port KVM aren’t recognized by...

Thanks for this. It worked great for my L246WP-BN. I upgraded from a 8600GT to a 9600GT and I now have 1920x1200 again.

Got things together. I also picked up a 9600GT. The E2180 OC'ed to 3.0Ghz with only bumping the FSB to 300. It runs TF2 @ 1920x1200 without any hickups. 25c @ idle, 40c in TF2, 59c in Prime95. I'm liking it. This was one of the easiest overclocks I've ever done since the old Celeron 300A...

Went with the above list of goodies. Thanks for the input. I'll pick up a quad core in a few months.

Thanks! I'll do that.

I surely appreciate all the input. I've changed my mind on my build because I'm not going to pay $250 for a freakin' CPU right now. I've decided to go with a E2180 and overclock for the next few months. At $80, it's a third of the price as the Xeon E3110, E8400, or Q6600. I can upgrade to...

Do you mean: These CAS 4 sticks?

My main concern is the memory I picked and if it will work without any issues. I'm probably gunna upgrade to a large single spindle drive after I get things built.

***edited title due to a change of CPU choice*** Would someone be kind enough to comment on my choice of components? I've spent too many days pouring over posts to come up with these parts. I plan to overclock... but not overly high, hence the Blue Orb II. I have two 75GB Raptors that I...

Don't know. Don't care now that all of you have busted their myth!

Thanks for your replies. I'll keep the case on my list! What is this case that you speak of? Link? I'm interested in checking it out.
