|  I Just Spent $1975 I finally ordered the parts for my PC. They are the same as in my signature except I got a 160GB Maxtor instead of 200GB to save costs. I also had to forgo things like an illuminated keyboard and mouse to stay in my price range. I do have a very good setup comming, though. I just hope everything comes in the way I want it.

| Looks a lot like what I'd like to do! Where did you get everything if you don't mind me asking.

| A combination of newegg, tigerdirect, and a few sites on Pricewatch. On Pricewatch, however, you may not always get the price something is advertised at. Also, on tigerdirect, shipping and handling is outrageos. The only reason I ordered there is because they were out of my products at Newegg.

| beedubaya no, I'm not recommending a cheapo POS 7,200RPM SATA. I'm talking about 15,000 RPM SATA like the Cheetah X15.3 or 15K SCSI Ultra320 . Either of those compared to ATA133 with 8MB cache is PATHETIC. Your priorities are all wrong man. In your pursuit of getting the fastest components available you still ended up choosing something that is not much faster than a computer built at half that cost. I guess being totally bankrupt is punishment enough. I know this seems mean & rude beedubaya, but what you are trying to do is the very definition of ghetto: living outside of your means. |
