    im not following here. who are these suggestions for????? i know ive been looking in the PC building threads. there is like 3-4 people asking about builds specific builds. each with there own thread started. they actually did a good job in the name of the thread, instead of the normal "help me with this"
    is this ment to be for open discussion,or just out of the blue you build waht you think is a good PC and post what you/i think someone would want?

    think there is to much politics going on. i better just stick to the scan thread.......and no i dont mean that in any offensive way what so ever. i truely dont understand what the concept is here.

    Essentially rather than people post us a PC build and have us correct it, this is a list of stuff to buy for people who want a complete list right off the bat.

    Hey Cincy...
    Its not meant to replace the build thread...its just a place to post a build...then when someone ask about a build...you can just link to one that fits there needs...and not have to re-post it again...I know I repeat build lists all the time...all over the threads...it just might save a lot of time and arguments...jm2c

    And yes...you can post...and answer question in here..:)

    This was intended to be a suggested build thread - the ultimate dream computer thread is elsewhere on this forum, post that there instead.

    Indeed. A shame this didn't take off. Perhaps make it a rule to use this thread? I dunno.
