I'm a grown man with work and family taking most of my time. When I have a few moments to myself I like to play some games. I want a new card so I can make the most of my gaming time and witness all the sweet eye candy these games have to offer.
I've got a handfull of brand new Seagate 7200.9 SATAII 500gb hard drives in retaill package (includes sata cable, power adapter, etc.). The going price on Newegg is $275 shipped for an oem drive which doesn't include any cables.
My price is $240 + $10 shipping.

I'm building a media server with the following.
1 HD for OS
7x500gb Seagate drives (RAID 5 or 6)
Areca 1220 PCI-Express 8 port card
Thermaltake Armor
Antec NeoHE 500watts
It'll be running 24/7 so I'd like something stable with relatively low power consumption.
I'll have at least 2-3...

I built the system in my sig last night and have been doing my first attempt at OC'ing today.
I've got my Opteron 170 at 2.6Ghz on stock voltage.
Ran memtest with no problems and used OCCT to max out the CPU for the 30 minute test. The temps hovered around 40C during the test and stay...
I bought my retail opt 170 from mwave for $387 last week and got the 0530 version like most of you. I'm switching from a Dell XPS 600 with an Intel Pentium D 840.
Here are the parts I ordered, The processor, ram, hsf and case came yesterday. Now waiting on the rest.

I'm currently running a raid1 using my intel motherboard with 2x250gb drives. Storage capacity is becoming an issue so I'm trying to figure out what is best. I already have 1x500gb SATAII drive.
Buy a Raid card and another 250gb drive then do a Raid5
or
Buy another 500gb drive and just...
I'm the one that posted the deal and didn't buy in yet but might now. I got someone willing to give me $55 for the mobo. That'd make my final cost around $325 + shipping for the chip. Now that's a hot deal!
If you don't mind going with Intel, The Dell XPS 600 can be had at a decent price. I ordered this setup on Wednesday.

I just priced a similar system to the Dell I ordered and it's nearly $1400 more with 1 less raptor drive and only a 1 year warranty. Why would anyone choose the Alienware?

I ordered an XPS 600 last night. I've had the XPS gen3, gen4 and an XPS gen2 laptop in the past. I've thought about building my own systems a couple times but end up getting a Dell. The deals are insane and the computers are easy to resell when I decide to upgrade.

I purchased this last week because it was a good deal but decided to go with nvidia instead. It is brand new sealed in package. The pictures and specs...
This is currently a good deal in the EPP department. I found a 40% off coupon that works off of ebay for Dell home but it's still cheaper in EPP. Tax killed me but all in total, this is a killer system. The 3.2EE chip is also overclockable in the bios to 3.4Ghz and 3.6Ghz! It's the only chip...

I'm selling an XPS Gen4 PC that I've had since 2/9/05 and is still under warranty until 2/9/06. It's a pretty loaded system and here are the specs:

# Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Ed.
# 2 Gb DDR2 533MHz
# 148 GB Raid...
Thanks for the input guys....I searched on the price of that chip and did see that it is still in the $1000 range. It seems to be the high end of the non dual core chips so it should last me awhile.
I guess I will go ahead and keep the order. If anyone wants my old system here are the specs...
I already have a similar setup to this but have the 550 3.4Ghz processor and an X800 XT vid card. My plan was to swap in the vid card and sell the old system. Would there be much of a performance increase with the the new processor?

The colors look good to me after a little bit of tweaking. I'm hoping to get a Pantone Spyder to do a proper calibration soon. My main reason for upgrading from the 2005fpw was the component input that the 2405fpw has. I'm using it with my Xbox and PS2. The games that support progressive scan...
I just rec'd an Dell Dimension 8400 yesterday that I'm going to convert it to a server and don't need a high quality video card. This card is not a GTO.

I already have a Dell Dimension XPS gen3 machine that is fully loaded but was planning on building another machine using an AMD64 chip and have since changed my mind. I have just recently aquired all the components. They are all brand new and unused.
