I remember buying a cheap aluminum case a decade ago and it liked to buzz a lot. Anyway, after a decade of really borinz dull cases, I am yet again attracted to the glistening color of aluminum again. Blame Apple. I am looking for a small tower case and there are several Lian Li models but am still ...

Would a 7600gt do? That's probably the only semi-hungry component in my computer to be.

I just got my p150 case today with the NeoHE. Can someone tell me what are the chances it will screw up with my computer? I am waiting for my MSI K8NGM2-FID to arrive Monday and am worried that it might not work with it. What are the chances? My power supply doesn't have a revision number on it. The...

I've finally found the motherboard that I want. Thanks for everyone's help. Oddly enough I haven't read about it on these forums yet but I stumbled over it when I was trying to find reviews of a 6150 based board that didn't suck as much as the ASUS A8N-VM CSM. It is the MSI K8NGM2-FID. You can find ...

Isn't how well the cpu can overclock based on the memory speed also? Or was that back in the socket A days? I'm an overclocking nub.

Thanks for all the replies. So far everything on my list is pretty set except the motherboard and mabye the ram. I iwanted the ga-k8n earlier but after looking at the comments on newegg, which I do trust to some degree as long as the post sounds intelligent enough, weren't that great. An issue was o...

Herer is my wishlist from newegg. https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=1989078 Yeah its $1500 because I added a samsung 940t monitor thats $320. People recommended the asrock dual sata2 because it was cheap. The 7600gt is my only alternative since 7900gt'...

Yeah I am a penny pincher. Don't tell anyone but I am taking this money out of my scholarship funds. :P I want to make this futureproof, sort of, but want it to be quiet also as fan noise directly affects how fast and comfortably I use the computer. My limit is $1500 and I can't really change anythi...

You mean this one? http://www.jab-tech.com/NEXUS-92MM-REAL ... -2858.html
What about the panaflos that are recommended? Also, does any of this come with a thermal compound or do I have to buy that separately also?

Hello I am looking for an inexpensive cooler for an x2 3800+. I have looked through the recommended list and some forum posts and so far the trend is to have really heavy copper heatsinks that are insanely large with 120mm fans or have passively cooled heatsinks that are even larger, all of which co...

What about the x2 retail hsf? Will it be quiet enough for overall use?

I have looked at the recommended boards and most are out of my price range. I am considering the msi neo2 with ati chip but I hear it doesn't support sata2 which I might need later on when hard drives become solid state? (hehe I don't plan on buying a new comp for a while) The abit kn8/k8n whatever ...

I am going to build a new computer around the p150 and have a few questions I hope someone here could answer for me. 1. I heard the new retail hsf included with AMD processors was very good and being both quiet and cool. However I am not sure if the x2 3800 has it as I only see it for the higher num...

What are you talking about? If it didn't support smart, how could I read all that smart information that those progs give me? If it didn't support it, why would it say there was a SMART failure? I don't get it. Not to mention I've googled it a bit and several reviews have said it has SMART with an i...

I spent 30 minutes today trying to make a cradle hanging from my 3.5" bay to where the HD would be secure and finaly gave up and just did a cheapo hang job. The seek noise was reduced noticeably and would probably be silent if I had put the side back on and pushed the comp back. The bottom of the dr...

No its nout out yet. I was just assuming that the st20g5 would be the same environment as the sn95g5 since it is the same case.

I am thinking of getting the fanless gigabyte 6600gt shown here http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produ...ductCode=322263 and pairing it in an ST20G5. Based on the currently known G5 case, how cool do you think this setup will run? Edit: I am also looking at the gigabyte x700pro fanless. Which card will...

So the 300watt $27 dollar one is the same as the $42 dollar 350watt except for fan adjustment knob right? Same 120mm quiet fan and reliability?

anyone?

I am trying to save a few bucks but still have a quality powersupply. I am having a dilemma in that newegg seems to have a range of fortron power supplies that all differ in price but I don't know why and why the slightly more expensive one is better than the one before it. I am mainly looking at th...
