Buy a cheap one and be miserable.
But what you want and be happy.

I know. I have wasted about $30,000 over the past three or four years trying to save money. Now I almost have what I want, and I am happy.:) :) :)


Very profound JJ.

It seems the truth will prevail with all,given time.

Thats the point PC,no use wanting best if you can't afford.

Like the rest of us,its a case of compromising.

Buy a cheap one and be miserable.Is this cheap? I think this is a mid-class range don't you think, not an entry level gaming PC too either.
But what you want and be happy.

Now I almost have what I want, and I am happy.:) :) :)Thank you for your real comments JJJJ, this is the PC I needed, besides it took me years to figure out which is the best part to put together and waiting for the right timing.
;) I'm already planing some extra PC parts, but I don't need it now.

And lets hope this PC can make it money since I'm not working full time.

568128 2007-07-11 23:34:00 Maybe get what you can afford now leaving room for maybe stuff as you can afford it. eg. Some ram now, more later. Cheaper cpu now and better one later when prices come down. DVD burner now and maybe Blu-Ray burner later that sort of thing.

What ever you get is almost out of date the day after you get it replaced by something better.

568129 2007-07-11 23:49:00 The ATI graphic card is a poor choice.....I would go with the TJ-06, better cooling design! SolMiester (139)
568130 2007-07-12 00:33:00 The ATI graphic card is a poor choice.....I would go with the TJ-06, better cooling design!ATi poor choice? OK, I believe I'll be more happy with ATi products especially with X2900XT which is no far away from Nvidia, and yeah, I could save around $40-$50 getting an Albratron 8800GTS 640MB, but still I believe in X2900XT performance can increase with improved drivers. And X2900XT can be overclock easily.

TJ-06? Ah, what are you thinking? That product was 2004, and how am I going to look like in overclock.net getting a new PC with a case of TJ-06? :lol: Of course I"ll look like a real fool, anyway I was being look like a fool in here, and who cares at least NZ people only, but in there people from all other parts of the world. :cool: I am not lame, cool groups is cool.
Hey SolMiester, I'm not offending you it just that this case got real cooling. Check out the results.

And why does TomsHardware.com think this case is a pretty boy?

568131 2007-07-12 00:45:00 Getting a PC shouldn't be about how cool it is, it should be about getting a PC that does what you need. There is no point in getting a ridiculously expencive machine or components if your not going to use it. The TJ-06 would do what you need, right?

I agree with SolMiester, the X2900XT doesn't have an ideal cooling design, but by no means is it a bad card. You will simply have to make sure your case has ample cooling.

You don't have to rubbish people when they voice their opionion. Isn't that what you asked for? Peoples opinions? Don't ask for advice and then not take it. :(

TJ-06 got cool design? I think I gonna get kicked out of the club for having that case. :confused: no cool reviews about that case mate. Plus I've look into that case, HDD is not cooled by fan so? Get a custom HDD cooler which I hate it a lot since other case offer better deal. Yes, wind tunnel is helpful for the CPU but not my GPU and HDD. :stare: I'm not kidding here, my friend use to own one of that and he's not cool for some overclockers club because of that case, he complaints about HDD cooling a lot and I do take notice when I look at it. It is good for overclocking CPU and good cooling, but other components which is not cooled very well.

And the last thing I'm gonna say is I'm not really trying to offend people, and yes you people are very helpful when come to normal PCs, and I don't think I'm very helpful for normal PCs except screwing it up like Ghostin one. :( I don't know which one to pick, join the PressF1 and lose the coolness to other fourms?

:thumbs: Thank you all for your suggestions, my apology to SolMiester if you think I've offended you and to others. The problem is, I'm trying to make my PC as cool as possible so that I won't be looked at what am I in here. I know, I know, I feel like offending a lot of people in PressF1 getting fancy parts and all that. Maybe PressF1 culture is very very different from overclockers clubs, it is just not about fancy parts, it is the efficient parts that works well.

I think I gonna have to rethink about X2900XT and the case. Thank you.
