Lets just say its been a while since I have been on the forums :D.... My faithful everyday Macbook finally called it quits and I am trying to revive/upgrade my rather old gaming rig. Simply looking to spend my money in the best way possible with what I have now. 1) What will you be doing with...

Yup, SATA drives from a previous PC, but the drives themselves are somewhat recent. Also case is an Antec 900, so I don't there will be any issues there. I'm pretty out of the loop on current parts, but the main purpose of this build is gaming, so I would assume to stick with the better...

Hey guys, need some advice for a gaming PC build for a friend of mine. I answered the questions to the sticky below, thanks in advance! 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming cpu/vid card intensive games, probably most taxing task for this build...

only reason not to get a 360, you don't like the games on it.

which version did you end up buying?

Nothing too graphics intensive, just wanted to gauge an idea of what its limits will be particularly related to gaming and HD movies.

how is the nvidia 9400m graphics chipset? i'm not caught up with what is the latest and greatest in video cards, but what would be the desktop equivalent for this chipset and what kind of performance could i get out of it?

anyone know what build the keys are for? does it matter?

i have an onkyo 5.1 htib system which i am in the midst of replacing all speakers with better component ones. problem is the original passive subwoofer was connected to the receiver (onkyo ht-r330) via a single speaker level output. the new sub is a velodyne 10" which has both l/r rca...

i would base my decision on whichever system has the gaming library you prefer. i have a 360 and have been planning on getting a ps3, but there hasn't been any great number of games that make it worth buying imho. a lot of people say that the ps3 library is growing, but until it does i doubt...

sure they're cheap in price, but a receiver/speaker setup will blow away any set of logitechs. a couple years ago the only thing i bought was computer speakers. went from the 540s to the z-2300s and finally the z-5500s and none of them come close to any of my current speaker setups. heck i'm...

do you have a budget? for the best gaming experience i always found surround sound to be best, although i prefer 2.1 for listening to music. if that's the case i would skip pc speakers and get a nice HITB (home theater in a box) if you are on a budget. on a budget the only brand worth...

a good home theater is definitely more than $150, but i would still take a $150-200 HTiB over computer speakers anyday.

if you're on a budget those insignia's are a great choice. coaxial design, looks good, and creates a very nice soundstage for very little money.
