The Ultimate Dream Computer

yes i think...not sure but i now that the 22" is cheaper than dells 22", wait i dont remember which one...

well i'm not gonna buy 5tb hdd one time, i'll buy that much overtime

 

Either way, the Dell monitors are far better.

 

yes i know they are great...but they are expensive...b/c there monitors are like the best...

 

tee hee!

The E series isn't much more expensive than the others though, you don't have to go with an Ultrasharp.

 

hey...but does it have HDMI ports?...dont think so...i want HDMI ports!!!!!

 

Then you'll just have to shell out more.

 

do you think its possible to overclock my CPU AMD Athlon 3500+ on the albatron mobo?

 

Given that it's already faulty, I wouldn't recommend it. I doubt you'd get very far anyway.

 

well its 2.21Ghz, i could actually OC to 2.4Ghz but it'll overheat, unless i buy a new gaming fan that can cool it much more than the stock fan...as you said its already faulty...

 

Hmm, well, pretty much any cooler is better than stock, but if you don't want to pay for a new motherboard, a new cooler is also going to cost money!

 

yeah i know...i was thinking using a normal fan to blow on my whole system...hehehe

 

my dream computer is =

Intel quad core 3.0 ghz
4 Gb of ram
512 mb graphics card
1.5 Tb hard drive
2 dvd burner drives ~ both lightscribe
nice lights on the tower
30 inch lcd monitor
surrond sound speakers
windows xp installed onto it
nvidia motherboard
1000W (silent fans)

 

Didn't set your sights very high! You can get 1GB graphics cards now, but the one to have is a 768MB 8800 Ultra.
Nvidia don't make motherboards by the way, only chipsets for them.
Oh, and if you find a silent 1000W Power supply (not that you need one), you let me know, the Tagan Turbojet, OCZ ProXstream and Enermax Galaxy at least are all very noisy.
