Hehe. Good luck on having a job. :P
Nope, haven't seen them in the news. And generally... I haven't heard anything about 'custom' built sites using crap pieces instead of the 'name-brand' version. Everything in the PC I ordered was exactly as I requested. =) AMD (Atlan spellcheck?) Processor recommendation. Intel Core is expensive, AMD is cheap, that's the only difference. Everything else is fine, Floppy is an old, but you might need it.
No reason you would ever need a floppy anymore. And tbh... If you compare an AMD system and an Intel system with the same benchmarking capabilities, you'll find the Intel is the cheaper build.
Sadly, that's just how it is lately and I'm even an AMD enthusiast. Kuroganashi said: Floppy is an old, but you might need it. I haven't had a floppy drive in 5 years lol It's totally not needed. And agree again with Tbest on AMD vs. Intel. I was an AMD fan for many many years, used AMD Athalon procs all through the P4 era, but this round goes to Intel. My newest build, with a Q6600, is smokin'...although after seeing the i7's, I feel inadequate lol I'd be happy if AMD took the flag back, you generally got more bang for your buck with them. As long as it's like 3 years from now ^^ I think I am gonna get this >.>"
XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB DDR5 2DVI PCI-Express Video Card $115 + s/h (coupon code SIZZLE15 for -$15) Ok ok, what you think?
$1,251 - 5% discount($62.55) + free shipping = $1,188.45 Dell gonna have a 23"HD monitor for $150 next week, was thinking of getting that. Gonna download windows 7 and put it on there. Also, the Graphics card, I purchased one from my previous post. That 1G ddr5 one for $125. Maybe I can sell the graphics card that I ordered with the pc. Will get another hard drive in the future, the velociraptor. Gonna settle with the 1TB. Might order this buy the end of the week.

I'd get a full tower instead of the mid. Sure, it's a lot more to lug around, but the added space is nice imo. Also... I'd see if you can get Wireless N instead of the G (and a router to match). It says NONE in that option >.> I didn't get one.
That sucks. >.> Can always upgrade it to N later though I spose. lol My next laptop is DEFINITELY having a built-in N adapter. Its current G sucks. >.<
I didn't feel like I needed a N card for my pc. The internet is basiclly in my room where the pc is. For a laptop of course, I would get a built in N card, but not getting a laptop =P
Was wondering if this is a great deal I shouldn't pass up.
Newegg has a combo deal. $105 off if you buy all three. Link 1. ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 2. Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920 - Retail 3. CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D - Retail Link $643.98 Weren't you getting one custom built? And if you did get those three.. I don't think you can get the rest of the PC from that other site. You'd pretty much be locked into building it yourself. Now, some don't have a problem with that... But ya have to decide if that's what ya want.
The thought of building myself is still somewhat there, but only if it came out cheaper than the website I was looking at, and with this bundle, I might be able to make it cheaper.
And you didnt answer my question, is this a good deal I shouldn't pass up? >_< Get two hard drives, not one. Two will allow you to make a dump drive, dump all your music/vids/porn/etc, then your OS running drive, OS programs, games
Greyfin said: Get two hard drives, not one. Two will allow you to make a dump drive, dump all your porn, then your OS running drive, OS programs, games Will do! forgot to mention, newegg is a cashback store for bing.com, so I can get 3% cashback on the purchase.
Yeah, it sounds like a good deal if you do want to build your own. And tbh for me... I just dump all of the 'non-essential' on an external HDD. Then you can take it with you easily.
No. Do not do that. Have two internal, one for OS one for a dump drive. If you put the stuff you download on one drive, it will begin to fragment. Even if you dump it to a external, you still originally put the data on that main drive.
If you wanted, the best way would be: 1 primary drive, less than 100 GB and as fast as you can get it. Raptors work well, 2nd drive can be as big as you want, 3rd, external as big was you want. Trust me it will save you loads of headaches! |
