Hi BamibBoom, after weeks of searching, i have a primitive list of parts i can get from different sellers i have access to, pls comment on my setup if you have time. thx -dell t7500 including cpu fan -xeon x5675 -kingston 24gb 1333 ddr3 -asus gtx 760 2gb -kingston sata3 128g ssd all of the...

thx for ur detailed reply. after a day of searching, seems that my best choice is to buy a barebone dell precision serious and get my cpu, ram, harddrive, and video card elsewhere. barebone t3500 will cost about usd150 and i have my eye on xeon w3690 which is another USD40. if i do it this way...

thx for ur input. i don't live in US (i reside in china), so i don't have much access to ebay. i checked with taobao (similar to ebay in china), seems that t3500 with w3690 installed is like non existence. they have w3565, which i think its a lower tier cpu?!. i am looking for a pc with lots of...
