Wow! just rocketed out of the pickle jar!

[endyen]

CSA requires a label. It's there, just might not be on one of the sides you can see. Usually you can see it when you open the case.

😵 ok
um how does this hard drive match up to the seagate one?

its ATA 133 so i'm assuming its better???

<A HREF="http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=224&mcid=28" target="_new">http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=224&mcid=28</A>

the seagate one do, however, offers 60 month warrenty but the maxtor one offers 12 month, does this tell anything about the quality of them disks?

btw i'm looking for something that lasts for like 5 years here lol, longer if nessiary<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by TheHolyLancer on 07/15/05 01:37 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

 

[endyen]

I'm not a big maxtor fan. They are noisey, and I had a lot fail about 2 years ago. I wont buy them again. The seagates are fast, quiet, and last well.

 

[theholylancer]

seagate it is, i'm gona hope that i won;t need to RMA it at all

 

[theholylancer]

ok should i get this power supply?

<A HREF="http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=3657" target="_new">http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=3657</A>

or will there be cheaper ones at a small local store? (account in the shipping that is)

 

[endyen]

Not what I would consider a good choice. <A HREF="http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=665" target="_new">This</A> would be a better choice. It may be loud, but it will work.

 

[theholylancer]

hmmmmm are there any power supply that are cheap?? or any that are quiet but still okay(in terms of price)?

 

[Rugger]

You get what you pay for...

The PSU is the heart and soul of any modern PC - don't skimp.

[theholylancer]

lol ture maybe i should get a used good one?

 

[Rugger]

You could try Ebay and see what comes up. The one that Endyen suggested is a good compromise between performance and price - take a good look at it. I always prefer new - you have a way to get a replacement if something goes wrong and you know that it hasn't been abused by someone else.

hmmm how good is no name brand like speed? and what are named brands??? anyone?

 

[fishmahn]

No-names are usually cruddy. Never heard of 'speed' brand... Did it come with the case? How much was the case & PSU? Then subtract the cost of just the case, and you know how much the PSU cost. If the difference is more than $25, I'd be surprised.

Good brands:
Fortron Source (FSP)
Sparkle (with FSP in part #)
OCZ
Enermax
Antec (the True... series)
Thermaltake

There are others but these are most common.

[fate]

Yes, especially if he pisses on the case.

 

[theholylancer]

[Rugger]

There was a thread in the Graphics forum about a dog peeing on a case...

[Rugger]

The stock cooler is good for mild OC. If you want to quiet the system doan and still get a good OC, then you can get a thermailright XP-90C with a good medium-rate Panaflo (total is around $50-60).

[theholylancer]

and will a zaleman 7000 or 7700 fit or anything from antec? since i'm gettign all my stuff from there might as well get it from there to save shipping

<A HREF="http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=category&catid=86&mcid=17" target="_new">here</A> is the antec list of coolers i hope they got something good there...

[theholylancer]

bump...

 

[endyen]

You should be able to get to 2.4ghz with the stock fan. Why not try first, before you spend $50. on something you may not need.

 

[theholylancer]

😵 ture but it saves on shipping if i get it now, cides i think it will be good for another few CPUs that i hope to get in the future

and who say that old relatives sucks? i just got offered $500 if i slim down by 5 KG ^_^ now what can i use this on? i think i can loan it first from me parents then slim down
