    New Rig for $3000

    First, the build went great. No problems, everything is working great. Even legacy programs I wanted to keep using like Quicken 2001, MS Office XP (2002), Paint Shop Pro (2001), Cool Edit 2000, all installed and worked great without me even knowing if I had to do something to install/activate...

    New Rig for $3000

    I will be getting all the new parts this week. I have assembled 4 PC's over the last 20 years, but none in the last 8-10 years. Amazing how much I have forgotten. Since technology has changed so much, is there a step by step checklist building guide, firmware updates, and component...

    I just received most items today. I'm humbled, so please help, as I'm obviously making stupid mistakes. :o I do have Amazon Prime, so can return. I appreciate your assistance very much. Before I exchange that CPU for the Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155...

    New Rig for $3000

    I ran into a delay called a new puppy that was pretty overwhelming, but just placed my order with Amazon for all these things. I decided I wanted the capability of more video editing, and may end up with as many as 8-9 Baracuda 3 TB drives, so wanted to get a larger case. With the monitor, I...

    New Rig for $3000
