Yeah, I've been really happy with that monitor. I can't wait to put it on a system that can handle it! I have Vista 64bit. Backup? I have some external drives I use for my most critical data. Any suggestions? My wife saw my first order newegg account balance and flipped out. It was a...

I am not 29 and if I said that it was an error on my part. Not a big deal either way as I don't mean any anger towards you either. Perhaps I wasn't as clear with my posts. I took a jab at you after feeling the same. I'll stop. I am excited to finally put some money into a good system and...

We just began using digital video at our shop in Houston. Thankfully I am not involved in this storage or I would probably be on here asking about 20GB drives and really bothering someone!

I was getting ideas for a system and initially decided on two 1.5 drives in raid 1. I then changed it to four drives in raid 5 because it better serves my needs. As stated, I am not as tech savvy as a lot of people and needed the opinions. I DON'T NEED YOURS. (but then again, 7GB WOULD be...

:rolleyes: Each photography session I shoot takes 5-8 GB. I edit with Photoshop and save my psd files so inevitably 5-8 GB now gets a bit higher. Some of my corporate work takes 10+ GB per session. That's PER SESSION. I have well over 500 GB of older customer files alone. This doesn't...

I see what you are saying. This is for my main build though (not media PC). It probably makes no difference.

Thank you! The cheapest 750GB at newegg is the: Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $69.99 each. Is that too slow though? The cheapest 7200RPM 32MB is the: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3750330AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA...

I ordered two 1.5 TB HDs with the original intention of using them in Raid 1. I am seriously considering buying four 750-1TB hard drives and using them in raid 5. (btw, I am using a Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (bare drive) for...

Have you tried using what is on your system? (onboard) IMO sound cards are a waste of money.

I'd be ok with it - I just purchased a bunch of AMD stock! :D

Reference the HD space - He needs the storage space for a fast growing blu-ray collection. He wants to rip them and store them on the media PC and play them FROM the pc to his home TV (via receiver)

I was struggling with this build myself. I have decided against it (will probably just use some sort of media extender with my new build to achieve the same results) but my neighbor who has a similar home entertainment system wants to build one now. This is what we have looked at: - XFX...

If you get the E2180 CPU at newegg they have a combo adding a motherboard for $125 total with a $20 mail-in rebate on top of that. $105 for motherboard and processor is pretty good! Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! I also saw some...

I ended buying the Thermalright Ultra120 eXtreme-1366 RT Premium Heatpipe Cooler for Intel LGA1366. Seemed like the best available. I thought about a fan controller with some type of cool LCD screen but I read a lot of reviews and they don't appear too accurate. More "bling" and not...

I still haven't purchased better cpu cooling. Neweeg has two choices and one is not in stock. I changed a few things at order time and went with: - ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W...
