Sometimes there's nothing to say. Sometimes, all you can do is hug another man. :hug:

Ghey. :x

That or, Amen, sister!

Sigh.  Looks like I won't be able to buy a whole PC at one go.  Both my brother and my Mom have moved back in and the family is low on cash.  My new plan is to buy it incrementally.  First buy a case, a power source and a motherboard.  If I do it this way, I can probably get a better PC.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I love my CoolerMaster cases.  Excellent, wide-open for cooling.  They do tend to be noisier than the Antec 300 by a good bit, however.

Looks like the computer purchase is back on.  There's something wrong with this PC.  Not sure what's wrong with it.  I was getting blue screen crashes due to it running out of RAM.  I did reinstall of windows but it won't let me do the updates.  Had a difficult time installing the Nvidia driver as well.  I think the mobo is having trouble.

This PC is having some problems and I'm going to take it in. I have less money then I did before, but I was thinking of buying a cheaper PC as a stop gape in case this one has very serious problems.

I was looking at this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285

Or perhaps this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227408

Much cheaper, and will probably be outdated in a year or two, but It may do okay as a stop gap.  What do you folks think?

Raz, when i was looking to buy back at Christmas time i didn't hear many if any good reviews for the cyberpower builds, mostly in customer service, i ended up buying an ibuypower and been happy with it, no problems with anything. (only thing to go bad was my old HD that i had taken out from previous build)

Uh, no.

Okay, I've decided to buy one the pre-mades on Newegg.

Either http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227408

Or for a little more an Intel

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227410

I've always used Intel, so I'm a little wary of something else.  Probably should go for the first one.

Get the AMD and use the savings to buy an extended warranty, unless you are comfortable enough with PC repair to install and replace parts as needed.
PDH!

The new Machine has arrived.  This one is going offline in a moment.

I picked up the 800 dollar one which came with a two year warranty.  Had for about two weeks now.  Runs really well and quite.  I've paid more for PCs that were much worse then this.
