Feels like forever since I was here! Getting ready to build a new PC for some friends, and there was no question where to come first. As always, I went right to the Budget Build sticky. Are those...
All kidding aside, I think it depends on who picks up the phone on the other end.
As for me, I'll take my chances. I've read more examples of people that had no problem than I have read people...
It totally makes sense to go with what you feel most comfortable with, but that also applies to what we recommend. I've never used a Biostar board, but that's not to say it won't work fine. I've...
Sorry Tapp, I must have missed your post. That's a great cooler, and it will fit in the Antec Sonata case. I know it will work fine with the AMD processor, but I'm not 100% positive on the board.

To check the event log for check disk errors in Vista:
Control Panel, Classic View, Admin Tools, Event Viewer. In the left panel, click the pointer in front of Windows Logs, and under that click...
You guys hating me yet? The Budget build should be $580 with the video card included, and around $500 without. :o
You'll probably get a few responses on this one, but here's my take:
1) As for the MOBO, go with the first one you listed (-UD5)
2) As for memory, you need DDR3 for the X58 chipset, so I'd...
Nice.
PS. The pricing date in the middle still says 08, not 09. :)
Yeah, good point. You had some great stuff in there. Why not paste most or all of that in the reco?
WM or RT, could you update the price to $502 as of 1/6/2009, and change the note to "...you could shave off a lot of money by skipping the video card altogether or going with a with a much cheaper...
Couldn't tell from your reply if you got it sorted. The 4 pin power connector coming out of your power supply, you connected that to the motherboard, correct?
Same here. Netflix Watch Instantly only works in IE. PITA:mad:
I'm taking my PC apart and building an HTPC with an Antec Veris Fusion case. I was going to use the stock cooler, but it's pretty cramped in the case and I think heat will be an issue. Problem is,...
It will handle three cards, so you have the option to run up to 12 monitors.
I'm gonna take a stab at it... curious to see what WM comes back with.
Option 1: Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, no need to move software, buy another drive and add it to your PC, log into windows...
Most of us here will advise against overclocking right off the bat, especially if your experience level is low. Keep in mind that you could have liquid nitrogen (used for embelishment purposes......
If the case you have listed is a Rosewill, the only thing I'll throw out to you is that that particular case looks fairly new to market (first review was beginning of Dec). I like things that have...
Well, processor, ram, mobo, etc. will work together. BluRay burner is a nice touch. Seems like a little more oomph than you need if your only a casual gamer and some video encoding, but I'm all for...
Nice setup WM. :cool:
pc, as far as the UPS, I want to add my thoughts. If the power goes out for an extended period, your going to be down unless you have a generator. Even with a $300 UPS, you...
Looks good. As long as the Sonata III is $99 when they buy, non gamers can skip the card and it's under $500. I like it. :)
I have this case, and it's been great. It's "understated" too, without a bunch of lights, so we don't mind it being in the family room.
Well, the 80mm fan that comes with it won't fit in the...
More than one in the same sticky would be cool. But to be honest, I think they'd all end up looking pretty similar, don't you think? I like the way you have them set up now, but maybe consolidate all...
Got it. Fixed the HDD link. I have the home server now, so I don't need a big HDD.
On the case, you mean this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119138
It's pretty...
Ricky/WM, that reminds me. Isn't this board DDR3 exclusively? If so, shouldn't we throw in a DDR3 recommendation into that sticky too?
