Hi everyone. It's been a while since I have posted on here. I relied heavily on your advice for my last computer build completed in June( i3 2100 based). I am looking into building a new system for...
I found this forum just in time to keep me from making some bad hardware decisions. I now have my own computer, built from scratch, working well, and way faster than my old mac that died on me. The...
Yes it all worked out finally. I was reluctant to mess with the bios, but i'm not so scared now.
I just got the dvd drive working. You were correct about the bios settings needing to be changed. I ended up setting the sata mode to ahci and now ubuntu sees it. Yes I had already installed ubuntu...
The bios sees the drive, but I don't have a startup disk to run in it. If I set the bios to boot off dvd it keeps telling me to insert bootable media in the drive and restart. If I open Ubuntu it...
Sooo The computer is assembled and os installed. That was an experience in itself lol. The only problem I have is the os(ubuntu) doesn't see my dvd drive. The bios does see it however so I have been...
Ok well all that is actually here is kb,cd/dvd,cpu, and memory. Everything else should be here tomorrow. I picked up an esd band today at comp usa. My question is do I need to ground the case somehow...
Most of my stuff is here. I am waiting to see what isn't. I will let you know
OK so I got tired ow waiting for an email response from coolermaster and tried out the live chat. Here is the result. The question now is do I believe them.
A representative will be connected,...
posting at the same time. I will have to wait for the stuff to get here anyway, so hopefully I will have a answer from coolermaster by then. If not I will be checking out the brands you have listed....
I think I may just go with something like this and not risk it, and keep the coolermaster as a spare.

I have already been considering just getting a psu locally because I am freaking out about the possibility of no overcurrent protection. I will post up what I find. I also forgot to order the wrist...

Thank you for your efforts and diligence in helping to make sure I don't buy garbage, or incompatible parts. I originally was planning on going with a "package build" but after reading about...
Hi Thanks Ricky
The only difference I see other than $1 and 140 gb more capacity is sata 3 vs sata 6 would I even notice a difference speedwise between the 2 in this system?
OK I changed the case and power supply, and changed to some kingston ram that was on the list.Hopefully all this time I am spending researching and checking reviews is worth it and I end up with a...
Would this be a better choice for case/psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.662129, Also would this ram be a better match...

Thanks for looking at it. I have been busy trying to find out if there are drivers to run the intel graphics with ubuntu and it seems there are so hopefully everything will work out.
Hi all
Just wanted to see if anyone here could look this build over for me. This computer will be used for basic stuff. Internet, word processing, kids projects, photo editing, etc. I am replacing a...
