    C2Q Q6600 Installation

    Ok yes it's there. And I just told my friend he was full of crap about him telling me what he did. I think I was expecting a little tube or something of thermal paster to be in the box. LOL I feel like a dummy now. But thanks for your replies.

    C2Q Q6600 Installation

    Just got all my parts and I have a question. Someone told me the the C2Q Q6600 processor already had something like thermal paste on it and that I did not need to use thermal paste as I have in the past when installing a processor. I haven't put a computer together in a very long time and have...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    To be quite honest I'm so outta the loop I don't know what I'm looking for in a Motherboard. Don't really use Firewire. Not sure what RAID is but I do know the 2 hard drives I have are SATA drives. If that helps. I use to be so up on all this stuff and could tell you exactly what I needed but...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    Ok I thought that other mb was a little much for my needs but I listened to someone I shouldn't have listened to. That's why I posted here to get opinions from people who really know this stuff. How about this: ASUS PK5 Premium/WiFi-AP Black Pearl Special Edition LGA775 Intel P35 ATX...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    Here's what I'm looking at so far...what do you think? I know the mb seems a little more than I may need but it gives me the ability to upgrade further down the road, right? SLI maybe? OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    I don't really play games other than Flight Sim or Battlefront once in a while and they always played fine on my monitir and vid card. Most of my game playing is done on XBOX 360, Wii and Playstation 3. But I do watch videos and do some video editing so a decent vid card is a must. In my old...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    I'm using a Acer 19" widescreen Monitor at 1440 x 900 resolution. Only parts I probably will use out of the old computer are the optical drives. Like to have the computer for 3 to 4 yrs and only make small upgrades as needed. I haven't ever overclocked but its not outta the question. I...

    I just read your signature. No you aren't the only girl :) And thanks I'll take a look at your suggestions in a little while. I gotta take my pain med and it's either going to hype me up or put me to sleep. I never know.

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    Oh I know. But I wanna first get the MB and CPU taken care of. As for a video card I'll probablly put that in the $300 price range. So I'm thinking the total price range let's say is $1500 to $2000. I just wanna build a nice pc that'll last me a couple years with just minor upgrades here and...

    Need to build a new computer, help!

    $300 Max on MB and $500 max on CPU if possible. I'd like a nice MB and a pretty fast CPU. Not really sure what the prices are at these days. Does this sound about right?

    Cutting straight cuts in plexi or acrylic...made easy

    I know you weren't criticizing. A decent table saw is my next purchase when I get some money saved up. I didn't buy the tile saw (thats a bonus for me that's $55 more towards a table saw). The table saw I have is a small Black and Decker that's probably 15 yrs old...it's seen better days. I...

    Cutting straight cuts in plexi or acrylic...made easy

    My table saw was the closest thing to cutting it straight but I was still having problems with cracking. It's an old table saw so it's probably the saw itself. My router is too fast and was melting it more than cutting. Looking into getting a router with speed control. So far this wet tile saw...
