    Sub-$400 build, thoughts?

    Hey, I've a friend looking to put together a new budget system for the first time; looking for Mobo, Processer, RAM, Case, Power Supply, and HD. The goal is under $400, where less is better, depending. It's for general use, I'm not sure what all, but not intended specifically for gaming etc. I...

    Actually, from what I've been hearing I might be better off going with a ViewSonic or Samsung rather than the Acer.

    I just wanted to get some advice on a new build before I went out and invested a bunch of money on it... I posted a different build a few days ago, but decided to scrap it and start anew. I'll be shopping around for parts, but I including newegg links anyway... Here it is: Core 2 Duo E6600...

    New Build--Any Thoughts?

    Thanks all, I appreciate it. I've been thinking about it, and I may very well go with C2D. In total I have about $1900 to work with, including the new monitor and XP Pro disk. The rig will of course have a gaming focus, but will double for sci/engineering (not too intensive) apps as well. I...

    New Build--Any Thoughts?

    It's been a while since I've put a new system together and I guess I'm looking for some general thoughts/advice on my parts selection. I'm pretty much starting from scratch, and am thinking AM2, but I'm pretty open minded at this point. Here's my tenative build with Newegg links: Processer...
