| 1307906 | 2012-10-21 05:20:00 | Hello gents, I am here to get suggestions on desktop components, from a case to everything else. I do have my own ideas, don't think I am coming on your forum to simply copy your idea and buy it, but whats the fun in just building what I think is good? I am not that tech-savvy, so I am looking for help. I have a pretty wide budget, being in the military and have relatively no bills, so ANY suggestion will be looked at, regardless of price. My only requirement is that it has a good, sound reason behind it, and it is not overly large. (I understand some components are big, but I have a semi-small space to work with.) So, if you ever thought this or that would be wicked cool to see in a desktop, feel free to post it on up! I will post pictures and any logs you request once it is done. I plan on this being a 2-3 month project, and will keep everything updated. This is being posted in multiple forums. I will post links to the active ones for if you want to see other peoples suggestions. |

Personally I'd put something like these in it; www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz Damn! I want to build it now. I have a split personality with PCs I love building really small tidy super powerful systems with the intention of leaving them alone once done, but my current system is a giant full tower with 6 HDs an SSD and a massive 3 slot graphics card and I love it for ease of working on and fitting parts into. |

| 1307908 | 2012-10-21 06:52:00 | Haha I appreciate the advice and suggestions, specially the case. Im not completely sure if thats what im going to do yet, but if I do go super small thats the kinda case im going to get. I just gotta decide if I want a normal sized, and live with it, or smaller, and hope I dont wanna upgrade once I leave this base. Regardless, thanks, and believe me, im so psyched that I am building one haha | Tobias21 (16924) | ||
| 1307909 | 2012-10-21 09:33:00 | There is a process (at least in theory) of choosing a system. Firstly choose the applications you want to use -> this will largely define the OS -> then the CPU -> then the MB -> expansion cards -> RAM -> HDD -> PSU. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1307910 | 2012-10-21 10:22:00 | A full tower is nice as its got losts of space to work with and you know that you wont have any problems with fitting stuff. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
