a year ago a friend of mine posted here about a design site, making advertisement i guess, he got flamed. So i came here and saved his ass, per say. I just look at the Sig and Offtopio forums. the_finger:

I don't play games anymore either.

Stick around because I learn alot in the Sig area , and I know most of you clowns enough to want to see your posts......

What would you say about:

Enermax Black Mid-Tower ATX Case With 350W Power
MSI K8T800 AMD Socket 754
AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 1MB L2 Cache
Seagate 120GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive
ATI RADEON 9800XT Video Card, 256MB DDR, 256-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP

For $1024.00
The rest would be gutted from my exsisting computer.

Perhaps a 400w power supply?

That's awesome. I would go with the 400w power supply, i love that Enermax Mitower Case biggrin:

i must say that i have had quite the pesky problem with finding ram that was compatible with this 64 cpu and mobo. i got the asus k8v , instead of the msi k8t neo, which was my second choice. i hear great things about the msi 64 boards. from all the other 64 cpu ppl i see post on other computer forums i browse, none of them seem to have the memory issues i did with my asus. perhaps it was just the first build bad luck for me heh. in any case, that monster vid card is a fantastic peice of hardware to build a dream gaming rig around. two thumbs up here! rock:

p.s. i dont have a digi camera , but next time my cuz comes over i will have him bring his and i will get some pics up

Mehhh....

i think it totalls around $1,100 or something (excluding the $105 shop fee when i had to take it in because i fucked up my bios)


runs like a dream except my fucking graphics card crashes most of the time in CoD

and just think guys, we have all saved GOBS of $ by building our own rock: a fun thing to do is go to http://www.alienware.com and choose amd or intel customizable rig...then plug in all of your parts and see what the total is. when i did my "aurora" configuration it came out to like 2800 dollars. ed: annoy:

I shopped at newegg.com

just checked out alienware, WOW they are expensive!!!!! $2072 for what I just got for a little over $900 I paid newegg.com (of course i didnt get the alien tower but I did get a nice one)

just got tracking #s 2 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
