I think we have found our first windows ricer ^ :):illogical I thought "Ricers" means Jap street racing cars i.e. Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Evo, Nissan Skyline and etc.

Pity the request for idiots not to post dribble was ignored, Might as well unsticky this mess and let it to drift into the lower reaches of the pond.

I have, and use, an AMD 4400+ X2 with 2 Gig el cheapo RAM. On an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard. In a Kandalf case. 2 X 200 Gig Seagate hard drives. Acbel 550 PSU. I also use a Philips 190B 19" LCD. Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Logitech force Joystick . Also a creative X-Fi sound card. I have two more Gigs RAM not inserted at this time. 7900 PCI-E Video

Your rig posted in this thread will be cheaper than what I paid a little over a year ago but does not mention sound or screen. I think mine cost around $4200 at that time.

Sounds very similar to what I have.

Good one Metla.

562190 2007-07-14 23:53:00 A week is pretty impressive, I would have expected to see some pretty big fireworks to bring that on. A bit of overkill if he recieved it just for being annoying.

And I think Greg holds the record for bans.....

And I think Greg holds the record for bans.....Maybe we should do a poll to see who has the most bans/infractions to their name (or any previous name used by the same person) :)

562192 2007-07-17 10:23:00 This isnt really building but I dont want a thread starting just to ask if this will serve me well.

Here is what im looking at:

AMD Dual Core 4200+ AM2 CPU
2 x 1GB DDR2 800Mhz Memory 2GB Total in Dual Channel Mode.
400Gb SATA 7200RPM High performance Hard Drive
AOC 19" Wide Screen LCD Monitor
Intergrated LAN-USB
Nvidia 8600GT 256MB Video card DX10
Icute ATX case with big front intake fan 500watt P/S Please note: No side window has big FAN
Logitech Keyboard and optical mouse set.
Logitech 2.1 Speaker set
8 in 1 Card reader
LG 18X Dual Channel DVD Writer SATA
Vista Home premium OEM Installed
1 Year RTB warranty

What i want it for is mainly music/surfing and the odd game here and there.
Will this cut it? By music I mean recording from a mixer so I cant see that being a problem.

Also what upgrades would you recommend. I have the option to customise it....TIA
