The (new) Official PC building thread!

Yeah I've already been recommended that by someone else, was considering trying it. I don't see anything wrong with firefox 2 though, so I'll stick with that for now.

 

Wow - how did you get your Gmail looking like that? I've always liked the clean, functional interface, but that looks the nuts!

 

LP, hey hey, I can make them look decent. I sell them to people and the cases have clear side windows, so I have to make them look presentable. They aren't SUPER neat but better than Sam's(no offense bro) computer.

Sam, if you have greasemonkey installed in firefox you can get scripts that customize the look of your Gmail.

 

oh well, none taken. I know it needs doing - until I finally stop messing around with stuff though, there's little point...

I found out how to do it by the way, by installing 'Stylish' in Firefox and grabbing the addon from a website. Thanks anyway.

 

b4 my builds..i always lay out my parts and tools that i need like a doctor operating..lol like russ said the most time consuming is installing the software and all the updates that's needed.. but for me to put the unit together only 30 mins tops and depends on the case and the way..i want my wiring to ran thru it..

 

omg 4850 is amazing.

its doing brilliant on early drivers

matching and beating the 9800GTX for £70 less :O

brilliant card. its my next card

 

ummm


CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAYS ARE EARLY. (with older driver 8.5 not 8.6)

 

Is anyone else using K-Meleon web browser or am I the only one??

I used to use firefox and have used opera in the past but
Kmeleon is faster than both of them and very customizable.It's list of features is quite extensive.
Here's a few of them here:

Give it a try see what you think.

I think I am going to switch back to Firefox 2. Three is not much better and Windows Live Hotmail doesn't work properly. I might try Kmeleon.

Hey, how much will the 4850 cost?

 

$199

 

DAMN, that is CHEAP.

Hey, LP, maybe you should return your 8800GT?

 

@boozer

What, are you freakin angry at me? I just said that I had personal experience with that card and that it's a great card. I didn't know about the 4850 back then.

I have NOT been keeping up with PC news after losing my computer.

 

what happened to your PC man?. so the Q9450 you made me get abuzar1 better work out lol

 

LoL, what happened to it happens to all my PCs. I sold it!

Yes, the Q9450 should work out great. I'm personally holding out for the Nehalem CPUs but those wont be out till end of this year or next year.

 

hopefully everything is in by the end of this week and we can get it built and ready to go by next weekend. keeping my fingers crossed. yeah i sure the Q9450 will kick butt, glad i changed my mind with your help lol

 

Good luck, and don't run too many volts through that CPU!

 

I'm going to keep it at stock for awhile and not OC it for now
