Great Bee Gees song!! Youtube it buddy!!

 

Both nice drives Rick and Sam posted, that samsung looks tempting until Sams comments about the F1, the WD looks good also, people mentioned the WD runs hot, I wonder what kind of temps that samsung would create.

NOW.. on to some fun...

I'm doing a new build soon... like this weekend if things go well... Doing an AMD build cause I can. Been wanting to do one for over a year now and it's killing me since I have all the parts handy and ready!!!

 

How about some specifics on those part's? Guess at what kind of build you're doing is just about killing me lol.

 

case NZXT Evo

mobo ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 AMD 890GX

RAM Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB)

cpu cooler Cooler Master TX3

cpu AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz

I have a Seagate 7200.11 500GB, OCZ 600W modular psu, and a few ODD's to choose from for fun!!

I hope this ends your curiosity Red_Maw.

add: thanks to a couple of Red fellas for da HDD and RAM!!

 

Nice, a lot like one I wanted to do earlier (can't afford another atm lol).

 

Blah no Asus, Gigabyte only blah blah blah! LOL seriously though it looks a good, fun, build. A friend of mine is in the mood for a build and he was looking at I7 and I'm steering him towards I5. No timetable yet tho...

 

Yeah same here. Not particularly a fan of ASUS due to reliability issues. Seeing a LOT of dead ASUS boards lately. I would almost recommend any brand over ASUS. Gigabyte, DFI, MSI, Biostar all being good alternatives.

Choose your poison though as I'm sure somebody out there can say the same about my favorite brands :S

 

With the features I wanted it was either Gigabyte or ASUS. Well ASUS won this battle because of price. Let's just say the GM isn't afraid of Open Box stuff. I have a DFI mobo that I love (775 platform) that I took a chance on... now let's see how ASUS treats me. lol. I've had/have 2 ASUS mobo's and the only one that gave me issues was repaired FOC by ASUS. It was a LAN problem btw.

Anyway I know we all have our favorites... if it was available for the "right" price DFI would be in me hands.

Lots of good reviews for that ASUS mobo tho... we'll see won't we.

Thanks for the "input" fellas.

 

I'm curious how many of you have 2 or more computers networked via windows 7. If so, what is your load time? Every time I open the Windows explorer window, it refreshes the network. That can take almost 10 seconds every time. Sometimes longer than 10 seconds. Is this normal? I was hoping when I upgraded to a 1,000Mb/s connection, that the refresh time would decrease(quicker refresh time). Unfortunately not. Windows XP's refresh time was extremely rapid, if memory serves...
