Cpu is retail so it comes with heatsink.

As for glue... oOo: Its thermal compound you want not glue eek: Theres a pad on the bottom of the heatsink that works as a thermal compound. But you're better off ordering a tube of artic silver and scraping the thermal padd off the bottom of the heatsink.

thanks. pardon my noobness.

You're excused oh mac noob. happy:

no use glue plz... happy:

I sear I wont be that nervous again in my entire life. Except on my wedding day, the birth of my children, and their growing up. Hitting that *Purchase* button was the hardest thing I have ever done.

ps. we just got 4 new macs today for my dads office happy: each for 700 bucks.

Well you popped your cherry, anyones first internet buy is like omfg should i do this?! And you kinda feel a little dirty after, but than its like drugs, i love buying shit off the interetnz

Ill sell ya a couple of my loafs for 10 bucks

I was thinking of buying a fragbox 2 chassis, $200 for delivery, annoy:


Looks like i'll prolly have to stick with the shuttle sn25p when im getting my new system. loney:

My dad is buying a fragbox

Thing that pissed me of about the case for it was the totally over the top price, just beacuse it has 2 windows and some etched logo, they wanted $300 for the chassis, $120 for the psu and $200 for shipping. $620 = £353 which is a totally retarded price. Especially as this is the same chassis as the fragbox and can be bought in the uk for £105

Basically the same without the windows or the logo on the front.

For £280 i can get this which has motherboard and psu all inclusive inside it

Was hoping to have my new system up and running already, fucking postal strike over here has fucked me over. loney: Still gives me some time to think about some shit, was considering an fx60 cpu... ed:

Yup, silly orange bastards biggrin:

Only reason they went there at all was to shit stir, well shit stir they did after getting an assload of snooker balls tossed at them and starting off a fullscale riot, don't think they'll be doing that again in dublin anytime soon. rock:

biggrin:

Forte, post when you get your parts.

take hi-rez pics of them so geRv can masturbate all over them

most of the stuff should be arriving tomorrow dance: .

only the motherboard, hard drive, and keyboard came in today. everything else should be here by tuesday or wensday.

happy: happy: happy:

Spat my drink over my monitor rolleyes:

biggrin:

Thats a bitch having some of it there but not enough to even start the build. Case, mobo and psu woulda been handy to have. happy:

everything that counts is stuck in ontario, CA loney: . they havent moved from there since the 25th eek: .

I just got a new keyboard because I spilled soda on my old one and half the keys got stuck.

It's pretty sweet, I can open word, excel, and ppt from the keyboard. And there aren't any wires, which is actually really nice.

I got that one too. except I traded it with my moms logitech keyboard and mouse. MX1000 ftmfw!

Your package was probably split between the two warehouses.

They have one in california and one in New Jersey

I got it for $60 and then $30 mail in rebate after that so it was only $30.

yeah it got split between CA, NJ, and one here in Memphis.

loney: the delivery woman didnt come today.

Shoulda pumped harder. annoy:

LMAO

just for that, the pictures of my stuff are going to be super low res.

yo gerv and akuma -

im thinking about ugrading my pc for work as i am usually doing a lot of rendering and it slows my comp down to incredibely slow, as you probably know. i am thinking of a dual core 4800+, but am wondering if you guys know of anything that is coming out in the near future, or even if later on this year if AMD is releasing anything new? i havent been keeping tabs on this shit, so i am just asking you guys what i should do.

also if i do go with a amd dual core, what motherboard should i get?

if i get a new mobo i will most likely need a new video card, as my ati is AGP. should i get one now if i upgrade, or wait till summer?

i also will need a new PSU no doubt, any recommendations?

and lastly, i have 2gigs of pc3200, should i keep that the same or upgrade?

How are you affording Uni, a g35 and new PC upgrades......

Hard to say anything about upgrades this early really, amd have socket am2 coming on 6\6\06 ( oOo: ) which supports ddr 2. Intel have the new conroe core coming out this year which they say will be 20% faster than anything amd have or will have for the time being.

As always the early adoptors of the new hardware will practically be beta testers mainly with chipset drivers and bios revisions. Buying new hardware is as always a waiting game do i buy now or wait for this, then if you wait something else catches your attention a few months on down the line then you wait even longer.

The nforce 4 platform is probably as good as you're going to get in terms of stability and being solid, although the new rd580 chipset from ati is meant to be just as good and able to clock higher.

If you buy a new setup now you can still use your existing ram but will need a new graphics card. Dfi lan party ultra with a 4800 would be a pretty nice setup, toss in an x1900 and you have a high end gaming setup as well.


DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D
Antec Phantom 500W Hybrid Fan Silent ATX2.0 PSU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB GDDR3


Buy a new case along with that and theres your new setup

happy:

Theres always the 170\165 opterons as well which are clocking to fx60 speeds and over for around half the price.


Funny thing is the asrock dual sata 939 board suppots pci-express\agp and also has a socket expander, theyre gonna bring out a slot converter so you can plug in the socket am2 cpu's, similar to what intel did with the socket 370 to slot 1 converter .

If 2 of these boards hadn't blown up on me id reccomend one of those as you could use your existing graphics card and still have upgradibility in terms of newer cpu's. A lot of people realy love the boards though, meant to overclock up the wazoo as well, just mine never worked out for me. loney:
