They were $179 yesterday, after they went OOS they jumped back up in price. I live no where near a Fry's, there aren't any in my state or in the connecting ones to my knowledge, however with the internet at our fingertips, many things become available. ;)...

Yea, I just tried it with no luck. :/

Yes it is, the Dell will not support the upgrade path you are seeking, it's a futile effort and not worth the money. I've seen countless friends try to go that route and end up screwed because the Dell was built for what they spec and NOTHING more. There is little to no headroom for upgrading...

For anyone that wants a GTX new, they are $330 on the 'egg. $30 is still a good savings direct from eVGA if you can accept the 'open box' concept, which I most certainly can. :) Edit: :lol: Nice catch Limahl, it definitely closes the margins on this deal a little bit. I'm still trying to decide...

Don't waste your time with a Dell, particularly the Vostro, it is an economy computer, not intended for gamers. Their systems use standard ATX boards but IIRC they repin their PSU connections to the mainboard to a non-standard layout and the PSU itself offers very limited expandability; many...

Yes it will work just fine. I still prefer Corsair but OCZ and especially G.Skill have been putting out some good RAM and all very VERY affordable.

Yea, revise your list, also what specific memory and mainboard are you looking at? I'd suggest: Abit IP35-e, I think this is down to $50 after rebates Core2Quad Q6600, $179 @ Fry's G,Skill or Corsair 4x1GB PC6400 kits, both are rather affordable right now at Newegg. Samsung F1 750GB...

Aren't the extremes the same as the regular E and Q processors just with more cache?

You have an Abit IP35 with those crappy plastic push pins. They do not provide nearly enough pressure to maintain good contact with the HS and removing it you'll see the poor impressions into the interface material. Do the bolt mod to get better pressure on there and replace the almost worthless...

This is s a good deal and if I didn't already pickup a GTS I'd be all over it.

Haha, yea, I had no idea that IPS was as popular now as it has been. I'm still happy with my purpose and it does suit my needs rather well but that is valuable information to have and that link gave gobs of it.

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=320-6252 I'm sort of curious what the visualphiles and real display critiques think of these. I purchased one recently after using them at work a fair bit. We employ many Dell Ultrasharp displays, from...

.folder, I like your work and attention to detail. You're making me want to go through my PC60 again...

This is so true and almost exactly what I was going to say. I understand what these companies are trying to accomplish by adding copyright protection to their media but in the process they are screwing over the consumer that has faith in their product and will buy it instead of stealing it...

Oh hi, I fixed that for you. Yea, Gibson is making some poor choices, to the tune of many companies these days. It is just an excuse for them to get away with lower quality for just a bit longer. I wouldn't be surprised if future GuitarHero games are sponsored by Fender out of spite.

You'll be fine. My friend is running a 600w Thermaltake PurePower RX with no issues what so ever and he is also powering two CD-drives, 6 HDD's and the other typical components.

Ordered my new system so it's time for the old one to move on. COMBO DEAL Mainboard: Abit IS7-e http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Abit-IS7-E Processor: Intel Pentium 4HT 2.8GHz, C revision http://www.outletpc.com/c1331.html Heatsink Fan: Thermaltake Spark 5 (IIRC) RAM: GEIL Golden...

Yea, and it is hardly new as I've found out after some Googling. Once I saw a perspective of just how small it really was I was turned off of it. We need a nice in between. Something with the same dimensions as the PC60 but with the fresh appearance of the V1000. I may still end up with a V1000...

Anyone else loving the PC-V600? My grip has always been that the V1000 was just a tiny bit too big, barely but enough to keep me apprehensive. I just don't have that much stuff in my system and for LAN'ing I want it to be light as possible while maintaining the full-featured functionality of a...

Is it true that some 8xxxGTS cards (G92 architecture) already support PCI-e 2.0? I've read this in a couple places, not sure if it is misinformation or fact though.

I just ordered the IP35 Pro, some good info came from here and a lot scattered about the internet. Abit really provides some of the best mainboards for the enthusiast market that are affordable. My friend just ponied up $300 for his ASUS Striker and aside from the SLI and some nifty features...

Price is clearly marked as 900..... :rolleyes: Good price, if I weren't throwing down to upgrade my main PC I'd be interested. Macbooks have really caught my attention lately.

I'll buy the card, what is your PayPal?

Looks like some awesome hardware, I like your little test station, pretty clean. I'm anxious to see where this goes, looks like a very simplistic and basic case mod but overall very tasteful and with function in mind. I really like the front fan mount you added and how cleanly it just fits with...

Why would you say this is intended for the workstation market? It says in the article that it this line of boards are to be targeted at enthusiasts. The only hit against hardcore gamers I see is the lack of SLI. The HSF issue isn't a problem and has already been covered well in the short...

Update: I placed my order from Newegg, not everything but it'll get me started. -Abit IP35 Pro -Corsair HX620 I'm still on the prowl for a Q6600, some memory and a 8800(GT/GTS/GTX) I sent a few PM's out on here, hopefully I can find a deal, help someone move their parts and get my...

It is more a matter of why have something I never plan to use again, compared to something that I intend to use now and for a long time after. As for my initial USB needs ON the system itself: -Monitor hub 1 -Monitor hub 2 -External HDD cable -Phone charge/data cable -Keyboard -Mouse...

It is still a legacy port, no? I suppose I should have noted it as singular instead of plural but I was speaking in generalities either way, I don't like them of any kind and find them unecssary and take space away from where additional USB ports could be positioned. I've settled on the IP35...

I think the IP35 Pro is going to be the winner, I'd like a full-featured board as the last few I've had were E's and thus sort of barebones. I suppose it was a little confusing the way I listed things but I don't like legacy ports and prefer boards that DO NOT have them. :) The more USB, the...

Yea, seems the consensus is to go for the IP35. I always seem to end up with an Abit board despite trying to be open to different brands anyways. :lol: The last three mainboards I've owned have all be Abits and they have never led me astray. The power supply I'll have to mull over, I was...

Looking at upgrading my system to better enjoy some gaming and general use. I'm trying to maintain a budget, and hopefully recoup some costs from selling leftovers of my old system. Here is my current system (Items highlighted in red will be reused in the new build) Lian-Li PC60 case Antec...

Recreating under Mainboards as this is no longer a general computer question.

What are everyone's thoughts on these? We have a few in house that are being a pain to get configured properly and Dell is offering no assist. I'm wondering if they are worth their weight in gold and we just need to work with them more or if they are just trying to play network in kindergarten.

I want to make a correction to my statements earlier. AMD has sported On-Die Integrated Memory Controllers since the launch of the Opteron and HyperTransport. Intel will be rolling out their On-Die Integrated Memory Controller as an optional component with the new Nehalem architecture.

I doubt they will go anywhere, but I can foresee them having to rally back to their roots for awhile as mass-production chip makers for consumer goods once again and possibly outsource their fabrication facilities to other makers to recoup costs. AMD has an amazing infrastructure but they don't...

I really hope things improve, I'm looking forward to building up a beastly quad-core dual chip system from the AMD house with a nice Crossfire setup with ATI cards. :/ I've always been a fan of AMD, and they were ahead of Intel for awhile with things, particularly with 64 bit processing which...

I got my Lansa 20mW model a few days ago and it is awesome. Beefy little unit with a powerful beam that is very visable. _Kris

DR-9080C high-volume scanner that can do 90ppm and is within $6000 which is what I'm looking to spend. Sadly though we already have TWO and spend about $150 every month or two to have them serviced due to the paper sensors going out. I'm in the market for something more durable that wont crap...

Bump, price added. _Kris
