Thanks, I'm going to figure out what the new total is with the things you've suggested. If I change the E6700 to the E6600, and I use the MSI P6N Platinum, then my total drops down to $1887. That's a savings of $263; I also have $110 in mail-in-rebates. I think I'll keep the Corsair RAM...

Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade my current machine, which currently includes the following components: Antec P180 ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe AMD 3700+ A64 eVGA 7800GT 1GB Corsair RAM Antec 550W PSU Plextor DVD-RW Seagate 80GB Creative X-Fi 19" ViewSonic LCD I'm thinking about building the...

Oh cool, it finally came out. But it costs money!? I knew they were putting it on Steam, but I didn't realize it was going to cost real money. That's crazy. Oh well. I'll probably look at some videos and then buy it anyway.

I didn't buy anything. But I am thinking about selling my computer on ebay (or at least some auctions for build-to-order systems). I also started one of those [URL SNIPPED]referral rewards thing for a free PS3 today (feel free to help me out; I'm doing this, then one of their other offers). It's...

Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 definitely. My favorite games of all time.

I didn't even watch it. I think it's sort of sad though, well, maybe not. But I couldn't imagine being the one to help design the system only to see a video of some people carelessly smashing it into pieces. ......Okay I just watched it. Never mind the individuals across the world who designed...

That's weird...I came here to see if anyone was interested in helping me out with one of those things, too. I'm not sure if I want to go through them or the service I am using now (in my signature). The thing about this site is that you can also just choose to have money. And they have a...

Yeah you could go with an Intel processor...for me again, it's really just a personal preference. And I have stock in AMD, so I try to support them. Nukem's right about the Opteron though, they overclock great. But you might not want to have to deal with that (are you building the system...

That looks pretty good to me. Personally, I would go with a couple of different brands, but that is really up to preference. Logitech keyboards/mice are really high quality, although a bit more expensive. I have a wireless keyboard and G7 mouse--I don't think I've changed the batteries in the...

Well, first I'd recommend something like a nVidia 7900GT for the graphics card. It's a really new, powerful card that should last quite a while and run Oblivion well. Either that or a 7600GT. I'd be happy to recommend a new system or build, but--like gust_nul said--I don't know what your...

STRIDER! :p Hmm...I did forget how long ago Half Life 2 was...it wasn't 3 years though, closer to 1.5 actually. But Valve was working on a lot of other things, too, including HDR in Lost Coast and their other games. I think EP2 will be really good.

I like cats. That first picture is really cool. Anyway, good luck with the rebuild. I personally like this kind though (from Wikipedia):

Yeah, Asus works for me.

Heh, yeah no problem. I actually had one of them back in November before I sold it and built my own PC. It was a good computer, but I'm glad I got out at the right time, otherwise the sell price would have gone down when they released these newer models.

Apple released their "MacBook Pro" a while ago, which uses a newer, faster Intel processor. People are probably trying to get rid of them before they become antiques.
