Ok. I think at this point is just finding a reputable resource that sells refurbished memory. Anyone have any luck with Servermonkey? Crucial has a section but looks like they don't have anything available right now.
Anyone have experience with refurbished server memory? I've dealt with refurbished servers and SFPs for our networking equipment but never have I thought of refurbished memory.
You might ask why, we have an old Dell PE 2950 that we are still using and wanted more memory. Currently has 4 x...
I have an extra 2000VA UPS that I want to use that takes an input of 120V/240V but provided are power cables with either the UK or CEE 7/7 connection. I was wondering if using a standard adapter for this UPS would be sufficient to convert to the US NEMA 5-15 connection?
Now if this was a MP3...
Doh! I know this is totally my bad since I should have checked but the link you provided was to a Micro-ATX board and the video card is waaaaaaaaay to big for the board. Now I gotta order a board and I don't know what to do with this one.
Ok I understand. Yeah there is a little more than an inch from the MB and the Drive Bay. Also doing a comparison of the 2 Video Cards and the only difference I see is:
Memory Clock 900MHz (3.6Gbps) versus 3600MHz (NewEgg Comparison)
*Seems a bit confusing because it says 3.6Gbps next to...
Considering I want to build this now any other recommendations if this is sold out? I mean if XFX is the best to get I'm sure I can try to find it elsewhere otherwise I'd rather just order it all form the same place.
Just read my above comment I don't know what I even wrote there. If I was confused I'm guessing you may have. I wrote it quickly while jetting out of the house. I'm guessing broken thoughts :D
The Hard Drive is about 1 inch from the MB but the power that is plugged into the hard drive is...
I've searched everywhere for a model and this all I could come up with. On the side of the PSU it says Antec then to the right it says True430 in blue and under that it says 430W in blue. As for the Case I'm not sure. The front panel cover which covered the Optical Drives is taken off. I'm...
My cousins motherboard has seemed to crap out so he just wants to upgrade all his parts that are strictly optimal for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and sometimes BF2. I heard that MFSX does well with multi-cores but I'm not that tech savvy when it comes to this so that was just general reading I...
What exactly should I be worried about here? First off air circulation I realize already is going to be a huge concern for me. It will be sitting in a cabinet and I really have not much choice on this. I'm guessing a good case with quiet fans would be a good start. Do you think I need to get...
I'm probably against the norm on this build but I'm putting together an office computer that runs our property managment system. I don't need a video card but a motherboard with a built in video with DVI would be great. Monitors only have DVI though I know I could buy an adapter if necessary...
Crap I either got a crappy website or it's not working well for my site. I've tried for various other sites and it seems to show up. I wish the details offered a better explanation of each. Where is this SEF forum? I'd like to check it out. Thanks for the link also.
Yeah I'm not trying to do anything that would be considered frowned apon and my site will be negatively impacted. I just want a tool to help analyze my site and offer suggestions. Not so much make the physical changes or worse yet offer poor analysis and asking me to do something that would...
Does anybody here that does SEO use any tools be it free or not? Something obviously that will analyze my site for proper SEO strategies such as keyword density and such. For me it has always been a trial and error type of deal but I wanted to know if there was a tool that will help guide me...
You don't have to use crucial to buy your memory but here you go.

The specs says you should be running DDR 400 (PC3200) and 2GB max.
I want to put together a server to host a few personal websites and use as a internal file server and ftp. I'm going to be installing Ubuntu Server on it. I really have no budget but I'm guessing I should have to spend more than $400 on it since I'm really not doing much with it. Here is what...
Thank you. You're right nobody chimed in on this one. I did read reviews in the Display section. What is the going rate on these and is everyone purchasing them through HP versus another retailer?
I though the Triple Channel performance difference was negligible. Wouldn't having the extra 2GB be better than the negligible difference? I"m not arguing that is just what I read.
$656.95 before tax
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R - $184.99 after rebates - Microcenter
Intel i7 920 - $229.99 - Microcenter
8GB G.Skill - $151.98 - New Egg - Not seeing much option for 2 x 4GB since Mobo only has 4 slots.

Holy crap. Maybe this is...
Well we've been through quite a few of multi function printers at work and Brother and HP seem to be best for us. At my current office we run an HP M2727nf at we print approximately 50-100 pages a day. That includes incoming faxes. Toner is about $200-250 but lasts us about 2-3 months. The...
Got it. Thanks.
As tempting as it sounds I really need to buy a monitor. I've had my Dell 2001WFP for years now and my wifes computer has had a 22" CRT monitor that is doing a number on our cheap plastic desk. That is what I get for putting it on those Costco plastic picnic style tables...

Is this any better? Voltage is 2.1V, timing is 5-5-5 versus 5-5-5-15 and it says heat spreader. Is it worth the extra $8.
*edit* discard this. It doesn't seem to be getting good reviews.
But of course :D I've learned my lesson on crappy PSU's the hard way.
Will buying the same PSU I have now in my current system not be sufficient? I really like the fact that it's modular and it's $89 w/rebate.
Corsair 520W
Oh nice then. I was just following what the MoBo's max DDR was. It's nice to know I don't have to fork out for the 1200's.
Thanks for the links. I'll be comparing other 550W to your recommendation.
Damn the i7 920 is cheaper than the Q9650? I guess a complete setup would be cheaper on...
That would no longer be a dream that would be Utopia! Unfortunately as I still stand my budget is still $750 for myself meaning I can spend $1500. A 30" would kill my budget and leave me with little money for upgrades. Unless, as mentioned, I get the Dell 3000WFP refurb for $750 and the i7...

I'm looking for a new monitor since saving some money on these upgrades and went to check the max resolution on the card then I noticed that Vista is not listed as being supported.
EVGA 640MB 8800GTS
Can I not use this with Vista?
Ok good to hear. Don't want to fork over another copy of Vista. Games are limited if non existent at the moment so that is getting kicked to the curb. Just 2 computers now, one for work for this build and left over parts for internet browsing and office. Was thinking of moving the 8800GTS to...

Understood but Ultimate 64bit would be ok? Not too much fluff? I'll put it together and see how far I can read up on OC. Also I'm guessin since you made no mention the video card I currently have would be good enough or necessary?
Awesome and well under my budget. I think I'll even be able to take the parts I'm taking out into some of the extra parts I have and still part up a decent internet browsing computer.
For my needs is it still necessary or add a great of enough benefit to OC? Only reason I ask becuase that...
