Getting a Mac is so 1984. :) I pity people who are fully capable of building a computer..when they turn around and buy a mac. It's retarded to say the least..that is, unless you are super lazy and have 2grand to shell out for something I could build for $700. if that. U know why people are so crazy...

More graphics memory only improves performance when you are pushing the limits of screen space. I dont know how many or the size of his monitor(s). Also, I've never had the need to own a monitor with a 1920 res, but I can see that size benifiting from 1gb over 512..however for 22in (1680) screens o...

Re: Advice to build or not to build and with what?

I think getting a high performance SSD (at least an OCZ Vertex) would contribute to this effect maybe even more so than RAM or CPU. Something in the 30-60GB range should be enough to hold the OS and applications without quite breaking the bank. There is very little advantage in having the fastest p...

Ok after reading all of your posts. I definitely need ram. If you've ever done audio editing and production wave files are huge. Plugins alone take up alot of ram!

Advice to build or not to build and with what?

After my first two builds I told myself that I would never build a system again because of the difficulty of it! My first system sounded like a jet engine and my second was quiet only with the help of this forum and website! But the second system hardly preformed. I've noticed that Sam's Club actual...

I guess it seems the SOLO would be a better choice. Its rated higher on SPCR's charts then both of them and its only $90USD at newegg. Works perfect for me! And its along the same style as the 3300 but better!

Anymore info that anyone has I'm all ears... errr... eyes I guess.

Heres both at newegg. Antec NSK3300 EverCase E4252BB Im torn between Antec NSK3300 & EverCase E4252BB. I like the design of the Antec NSK3300 way more. It's modern and you don't have to open a cheap little door for USB and Firewire like the 4252. I wish the 3300 came in a glossy front finish. (Does ...
