I appreciate the response, however I was able to find out by actually trying it out that it was not powerful enough as the computer would seem to boot up or at least power up, but nothing would appear on the screen.
So I have just decided to return the premade hunk of junk and build my new rig...
Recently I tried installing an ATI Radeon X1800xt 512mb video card in an HP media centre TV PC. What I didn't realize was that the PSU in the computer was a crappy 300w. I blew the fan in the PSU, however everything else still works fine.
My question is what should I look at getting watt wise...
I don't want to hijack this thread, however seeing as my problem pertains to a similar problem I figure it would be redundant to start a new thread.
Anyway on an HP Pavilion media centre TV PC the main fan in the PSU has crapped out on me. All the other fans are running fine. My concern is...
I am looking into getting a good camcorder for filming my own short films, etc.
I have an estimated budget of about $500-$1000 (Canadian). I essentially will need a format that is good for video editing on a PC. When I was last considering getting a camcorder I was told a Mini DV was the...
Thought perhaps I would add a possible build and see might be improved upon. Keep in mind all prices are in Canadian dollars.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - $369.99
MOBO: Asus P5B Deluxe - $213.99
RAM: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 2GB kit (2x1024) Dual Channel, Special Ops Edition, 800mhz - $279.99
HHD...
I have $1800CDN to build myself a new gaming PC as my current one is still good, but I wish to put it to rest from gaming and use it just for other recreational purposes.
Seeing as newegg does not offer shipping to Canada (that I am aware of) Canada Computers is probably my best best for...
I am planning on getting the same AMD chip you listed except s939. Again Yoad covered it quite well, price is the biggest difference.
Also Tiger Direct over prices their stuff. I use www.canadacomputers.com for my stuff. Have had no problems with them, free shipping on virtually all orders...

Dialup sucks...only 3 more weeks until I move and get my 6mbit connection back :).
My computer stays on 24/7 and I did the same with my laptop. When my old hunk of junk desktop died I left my laptop downloading large files for days and days at a time. I think in 3 month period I had used somewhere in the vicinity of 800gb of bandwith (down and up).
When you start up a...
I have done business with them. They are quite good and they also offer free shipping on most items, unlike TD.
Some higher end things you can only get in one of their stores, but for the most part you should be able to get everything online.
I have had no problems getting things from them...
I too am looking at getting a new mobo and cpu however I am not sure if I should go with 939 or AM2.
Right now I have a 754 socket AMD Athlon 64 3000+. I am using an MSI K8N Neo board.
I am also upgrading the board to get PCI-E as I purchased a new video card.
My big question is will an AM2...
I haven't heard anything about that, to my knowledge anyway. I don't really see why Windows Vista (an operating system) would require a person to have a particular monitor.
Perhaps maybe it might be some fancy smancy feature would require a certain setting, but I haven't even bothered to look...
I certainly could, but some people will threaten to report you for that request. I don't think a person should be charged taxes by customs on used products. He already shipped it so I will find out if I have to pay taxes or not.
Either way its still much cheaper then what it would cost me...
I have a 19" Samsung LCD (SyncMaster 913v) and I love it. Prior to switching to LCD I had a Samsung CRT monitors and never had any problems with them.
Good buy, and glad to see Future Shop/Best Buy are having some nice sales on them.
