317236 2005-01-24 09:55:00 Make sure the modem is a V92 as opposed to a V90, some of which are still floating around out there. Sapperbro (6562)
317237 2005-01-24 10:18:00 A few things:

Sign up for a dealer account at Dragon.

Try StylesPC or TasTech if you are paying cash and not credit card.

If you are going for two opticle drives at least make them both black.

317239 2005-01-24 12:47:00 Ok, I went into DragonPCs today to get all the hardware. But I was short $250. So I am going to borrow some money and pay back when I sell this computer, but I cant sell it before the computer is built just in case I have problems. The lady changed some hardware and it is now to this, I may change the RAM to generic

Here it is:

GIGABYTE GA-K8NSNXP-939 Socket 939 Motherboard *K8 nForce3 Ultra chipset *2000MHz *ATX *5xPCI *1xAGP 8x *4xDDR Dual Channel (max.4GB) *Dual LAN Marvell 8001 Gigabit & ICS 1883 *Realtek ALC 850 Sound *Silicon Image 3512 Raid * CK8S nForce Raid *DPS *DualBI


AMD Athlon64 3500+ (2.2Ghz) Socket939 CPU Boxed
Seagate Barracuda 200GB ATA 100, 7200rpm 8MB cache
Sony DRU710A Internal Double-Layer DVD+/-RW Drive
Generic (Mitsumi/Panasonic/Sony) Floppy Drive, Black Color.
Albraton GeForce 6600GT AGP 8x 128MB HD TV OUT
Creative Inspire 5.1 5200 Speakers Black Retail
Genius 56K PCI FAX Modem
Microsoft Home edition
Raidmax Cobra Black Case , side window front USB and 400W PSU (changing PSU in case to one below)
Generic ATX 400W Power Supply, Dual 80mm Fans, P4 ready
Philips 19" 109B65 Black Real Flat CRT Monitor
Cooler Master 450W Real Power, 120mm Blue LED, ATX 2.0
Geil 512Mb DDR-400 Value Blue HS

So if all goes well and they have all the parts then I should have it built soon. :D

I have already taken forever :p I wanted to do it last year!! I am wanting it to be done before Wensday, at the latest before school starts back. I will do it as soon as I have all the parts.

I will post again when I have got the parts. :badpc:

317241 2005-01-24 20:36:00 You can't ask for an opinion and load it with a backhander at the same time and expect a positive outcome.

Besides, Your misspelling of the word 'hear' makes your post null and void, may very well signal the downfall of mankind, further accelerating our descent into madness, apathy, pestilence and hellfire.

You have doomed us all.

I shall consult Nasa.

A dreadful,dreadful mistake,Terry will be proud of you for picking that up.
The difference is I do care if I make a mistake and do not approve of a couldn't care less attitude at any time.
I am sure when you go to repair a computer you care,I just think it's a good attitude in all things.
Don't want to pontificate to much or I will begin to sound like ****.
Just to be clear,I think your contribution on here is second to none.
and if you were a woman,I would ask you to marry me :D
