carnageX, thanks for the heads up on the deactivated item. And thanks krazyq, for the link. I will remove the P35-DS3R, and add the EP35-DS3R.

 

[carnageX]

Yep, no problem, b1g.

hey b1, just wanted to let you know the e2180 links to the e2200. thanks for the great list! keep up the good work!

Since E2140 and E2160 cost the same, then there is no reason to buy E2140 over E2160

It seems that X1950pro is more expensive than 8800GS on newegg. The cost only $119 after MIR these days, LINK

And if anyone can recommend some SLI motherboards for the Intel mid-end/budget section, that would be great.

I see you took of the plain Crucial Ballistix

do you think I should just go with the Tracers then?



you could also add VGA cooling to the HIGH-end budget

 

[b1gapl]

Yea...I believe Tracers have the better chips too.

I plan on adding an accessories section later on. Thanks.
