Give me some thoughts in this thread please! New computer build |

I custom built my computer from these guys. Three year warranty, free shipping, and saved a ton of money. You couldn't build a PC cheaper than you can get it on here for, I tried and still saved $350 off what I could build it for, plus got the warranty. Free shipping all the time, and they build it and ship it in under a week. You should see how tight and neat the cabling inside is done. Unreal!
You can pick from 50 different cases, 40 different video cards, tons of other options. Check them out... http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ |

Quoted: +1 on Cyberpowerpc!! They did my custom build to my specs. Best puter I have ever had. * Insist they burn it in for 24-48 hrs! I advised them I would be checking the logs as this was my first dealings with them. They found bad ram and a few other bugs, replaced the ram and 1 vid card. I went SLI right off the bat. It arrived flawless.I custom built my computer from these guys. Three year warranty, free shipping, and saved a ton of money.

Use Explorer only to update the computer as it has more holes than a N.O. whorehouse. Firefox is the ticket and mozilla for e-mail.    |

Give me some thoughts in this thread please! New computer build I'd get better RAM...Mushkin being my first choice ;) Great sticks, great warranty, and made in Denver, CO. Plus they're all quicker than the ones you have linked. 1066 is DDR2 speed...not worth it if you're jumping to DDR3. Also, no need to limit yourself with other fine components and then scrimp on RAM. Power Supply Motherboard Selections above are better overall quality...and basically same price range. In lieu of Ibuypower or cyberpower...take a look at AVA Direct. Prices are comparable if not better...and build quality is probably higher ;) |

Striping drives is a bad idea. You only need one of your three drives to fail for you to lose all 3 TB of data.
If you want to RAID your drives, then you might think about a RAID 5 configuration. With three 1 TB drives you would have 2TB of space, your read performance will increase over a single drive, and you will be protected in case a drive failed. |

I was thinking about getting these. EVGA X58 SLI or the EVGA X58 SLI LE with a 1200 Watt PSU. I already have a HUGE case with 9 120mm fans and one 230mm fan so I would never have to buy a new case ever again. The Scout model is pretty cool too. And with the V8 my CPU doesn't go over 60 degrees Celsius @ 100percent on all cores.
My next up grade might be water cooling |
