| 618241 | 2007-12-05 22:47:00 | Which is best for reliability/parts? I don't want to build it myself - would prefer to buy it either from a retail store (assuming they have enough options available) or online (again, making it customizable before buying). I'd like the kind of customization Dell allows, but I DON'T WANT A DELL! Any thoughts? |

ASUS motherboard, graphics card, optical drive Seagate Hard drive Enermax power supply Any case - see above for power supply Any CPU Kingston, Legend, Corsair, Geil, RAM is fine. |

| 618246 | 2007-12-05 23:42:00 | Jwil...hope that stuff on the site means more to you than it does to me! Seems to be lots of sockets...metric or imperial? RAID? That like Mortein? GA-MA69G-S3H....ain't that a twin-cam Toyota engine? DIMM.....not too bright? However....I did install 1GB of RAM into a Asus lappie last night, so quite chuffed with that! ;) |

I went to PB Technologies down Ghuznee St yesterday...not bad if you happen to be near by. Aside from the **ahem** language difficulties....they were pretty helpful. Said I wanted RAM for a lappie...good aye! :p and walked away with..... Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 667Mhz DDR2 Non-Ecc CL5 SODIMM ....which seemed to do the job. |

| 618249 | 2007-12-06 02:10:00 | If they are going to built to your spec, ask if the warranty will be just a standard one year or the individual warranties of the individual parts (2-3+ years on most quality brands, if in doubt someone on this forum will know true warranty periods for parts) |
