The (new) Official PC building thread!

Hey guys check this out, I recently got this email because I had a computer listed on craigslist.

 

Well, i am not sure how accurate this is but,

It's German but it shows the 3870 beating the 8800GT at higher RES and when you put AA on.

 

Well I have no idea what that says. For all I know that might mean it's in crossfire or something.

What the hell?

 

Well, to the people that were talking about fans, I've got all Asus systems, older one's that use DDR memory, XP CPU's and a box of fans. I have been creative to cut into some of the cases and addes fans. But get this. I did buy a new Dell last year, opened it up for a cleaning and looked at the Dell heatsink fan-plastic tube comming from the aluminum heatsink to a 120mm fan on the rear of the case. Very cheap, no wonder Dell Rep. said dont use as a Gamming computer. I only paid $299. + tax w/ 17" LCD Monitor. Guess it's ok for web, and files, light games that are not to complex. I use Plextor Writers for my burning projects, did buy a Sony for $35.00 at Tigerdirect, and yes you get what you pay for. I only use TY's -R's and with hundreds of burns I only had 1 coaster. With the Sony, 4 out of 5 first burns were bad. I thought my Plextor was bad, put it back in and it's working like it did when it was new. So I need to remember when I dod my cleaning I should also unplug everything and plug back in. I think that was the problem. Look at the Northbridge Heatsinks on most of the new boards, if you can find small fans, they do screw onto the heatsink I just did it to a A7N8X-VM that was running hot, not any more. Thanks for your time. Danmax

 

Oh god, i remember the debate i got into with someone here over Taiyo Yuden media. From my experience the Sony DVD+R Accucore discs yielded better results. I still have a full pack of 100 TY discs so ill retry them with my Pioneer drive.

 

Heman, what was with the Nazi thing? You kinda had a spaz attack there...

 

Hi, He_Man, My Brother inlaw used alot of Sony disc's I bought some as well. I dont think I had trouble with them, but for a while Sony was branding TY's. We found that out with Nero. It seemed they only did that for a while. I think when they were 4x's discs. I just have had good luck w/TY's. I use Fab, so maybe thats why, I dont know.

 

Someone say Nazi? Funny stuff here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gewdaLQ31lo

Sony were ty's for the longest time. Really havent seen that since majority of discs in the stores are 16x now instead of 8x.

All you guys talking about fans in here remind me that I'll need to order some to go with the Armor case I still havent used.
Any recommendations Abuzer?

 

You don't need any more fans dude. That case is full of 'em!

They aren't that bad. If you don't have a phobia of sound you'll be fine. They aren't even that loud but of course Sam wouldn't stand them. Try them out before deciding to spend loads of money on fans.

Now back to the other kind half of me that you all want to hug and have tea and crumpets with and talk about the weather.......stereotype much?

QUITE RLY

As for fans i hear the s-flex are like OMFG 1337 STFU THERMALTAKE!!!!!!!!2121121321135425542

 

Your dog's puppy eyes are enough to keep me in line.........for now.

 

800rpm: 21.8dB. This effectively sums up why I don't use the Silverstones. For you they're obviously the fan of choice, but for real silent computing, Nexus/Scythe is where it's at.
I'm not talking any more on the subject.

 

Deadrum33,

I bought the last 200 Sony/TYs that CompUSA had, for $4.99 per fifty! 8x, but so what! Much better than the ones Sony sold after that!

Best Regards,
Russ

 

hi Binkie and ddp,

and I didn't think ya'll cared about us here anymore. happy new year. ok back on topic.

 

Russ, do you get a lot of bullcrap from your customers? Do people go like take 400 dollars off and I'll but it and stupid stuff like that?

Man these people are pissing me off. You give them better prices than Bestbuy and these other stores with longer warranties and I even overclock this stuff for them and they STILL want it to be cheaper!
