I needed a machine capable of pushing 2 30" monitors, therefore I needed a new desktop. I thought that building a machine would be the best choice by far, but I had literally zero experience. Hit up google and found this site. WOW!
Big thanks to Rob for obviously spending alot of time building this site and hosting it. Also, special thanks to Jaime and Wise Monkey for their prompt and detailed responses. I would have no chance without your recommendations and help.
To be honest, it was really simple to build this machine. Took me 6 hours or so.
ASUS P5KC Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
Crucial Ballistix 4GB DDR2 SDRAM
Lite-On 20x Double Layer DVD RW/CDRW
CORSAIR 520HX Power Supply
eVGA GeForce 8600GT 256MB Video Card (Was going with 8800GT 512MB but I'm not a big gamer and I figured I would be able to buy this card in the future much cheaper.)
Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Computer Case
Fantastic website and a great forum community. Sincerely appreciate all of the help.
