I often ask myself why I used copper in my rigg? Insane maybe? I still hate the red yellow and black wires, yet I still have one in my rigg. PS I hate my case.

Do you have pink tubing in your rig? Just a question... i'm not trying to suggest anything here. But is it really pink?

Go date P4man or something, bye!
 
My guess is clear, fluid is pink, You got a problem with Pink? :wink:

Pink tubes can be used for various intersting stuff!

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, MSI 6800Ultra stock, 2X30gig Raid0

Hey fellas.. I have been unable to log on to the forums since I had to work a lot these past few days. And wow my forum really took off... mostly about power supplies. However, I just ordered a 2005FPW Dell 20.1" moniter originally $700 for $389 using BensBargain son!!!. I have not ordered any of the other components and I did some research on the BFG motherboard. I am going to stick with that motherboard. I was also considering the Antec p180 case. But I am probably going to order components on friday if all works well. I will post what I plan to order soon for further critique. Thank you all for the support.

Still uncertain about which power supply... u guys confuse me hahaha
 
shuttup wusy =D

you shouldn't save money on power supplies, as thats like the "power house" of your system.. spend the extra 20 dollars and get a good OCZ powerstream 520w

@von

why go with teh audigy2zs plat? its pretty much the same card as zs, just a few more toys to play around with and the extra 90 dollars in premium. and if you are reallly THAT into audio, be prepared to invest 200-300+ dollars in speakers. like the klipsh pro media ultra 5.1... which is what imma get =D

Despite all our arguments, I generally agree with nn457urd38470r. I would however not get the Antec. Go with nn457urd38470r’5 picks for extreme overclocking, go with mine if you plan on extreme modding.

Ok I need to decide... ANTEX neopower 480 or the OCZ 520!!!! money is not a problem since the price difference isnt that much!!!!
 
You PSU choice will not give you problems. That saying, neither will OCZ Powerstream.
Choice comes to you, which one looks cooler and suits your tastes and build.
It is going to be your baby, and you are picking good components.

Ok then I might as well go for the PSU with the 520 Watt. So OCZ PSU it is. Now, I need to get the cheapest deal on Windows Pro... my friend said I would be able to get academic discount on it for only $80. But the damn things are all sold out on newegg and they are all like $200. If anyone knows some good deals let me know.
 
Did I say that out loud?? What I meant to say was, $200 is a great price to pay for the most powerful piece of software available on the market to date for personal use computing.
