    Rate and criticize my buget build.

    I didn't feel like spending all day scrutinizing video cards however with my psu you get much higher wattage and you still get amazing efficiency for the price.

    the cpu i chose was an entry level core 2. Anyhow. Its not like you can't upgrade in the future.

    But then you would no longer have the large upgradability that comes with having a 775 P35 board. Also, this cpu is rather oc'able so that could solve you wee problems.

    Deciding between a few cases for a higher end build

    The mirror finish is ok but it has a coated interior that is smoother and black. I like the interior top coat on the SE better. However it is only 20 bucks more. So not the 100 bucks you were thinking about. The mirror is ok. Comes with a polishing rag! :)

    well if you are talking about disks, I will only have 2. If I do have more then it will be no more than 4 ever. The SE version looks great and has this rich black interior. But I will surely look at the Silverstone

    Deciding between a few cases for a higher end build

    In regards to the 2nd last poster. I thought the TT Armor was a great case for the time and it had lots of space however it was basic on the inside and didn't have the features and extras that the new cases have today. I liked the Silverstone but have yet to see a video for it however liked the...

    Deciding between a few cases for a higher end build

    I personally don't like the idea of spending over 150 for a case but the P190 caught my attention. Maybe the P182 is the better choice for me. Whats the difference between the 82 and the 90?

    Hal Licino: How AMD's Failures Are Triggering An Intel Monopoly

    Do you think that if Intel monopolizes the market they will have to be split up like AT&T once was? After seeing this 80 core project and Intel rubbing out AMD not to mention ATI suffering as well I begin to wonder if AMD will have a future.

    Is the Cooler Master ATC-111 still a good case?

    Wow, cool stainless steel look. I actually like this case. Would have never guessed it to be an oldie. Just polish it, clean it out, and install some new fans. Good as new.
