Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
But otherwise, what do you guys think? It's a good all-around configuration, plus, it has a toaster! (http://www.crazypc.com/other/misc/toast.htm)

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
Ok....looong time no post (college applications and stuff)...but since I now have a PS3, I decided on a more modest configuration...I also have a monitor, an Acer P243w with DVI (going to be for my computer), HDMI (reserved for my PS3), and VGA (for my semi-gaming laptop which has an 8600M-GT GDDR3)...

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
I've read slightly better reviews of configs with dual 9600's, and my friends with 9800s complain all the time about driver problems... As for hard drives, I was going to get dual 500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives (one for Complete PC Backup), but I've seen good reviews of the Western Digital Rapt...

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
For inputs, I'm going with the Logitech G11 keyboard, and Razer Diamondback mouse. As for the PSU...I decided on an Antec TPQ-850 instead of the Rosewill, because of the modular cabling...Also, the Striker II Formula has two PCI-E 2.0 slots.

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
Thanks so far for your suggestions, I have a few more questions: Do i need the 1000 watt PSU?......It's going to be in sli, but I'm not going to need any super-high overclocks, and I'm using a 45nm CPU, so that wont generate as much power usage and heat.....There will also be many fans in the case.....

ASUS EN9600GT questions.....mostly about fan/cooler
I'm looking to build a gaming desktop to supplement my T61p, and the ASUS EN9600GT is the graphics card that I'm considering, because of the bang-for-buck of the 9600GT and reliability of ASUS.....I'm a bit confused about the card's fan/single-slot cooler though... I read the review on CNET, and the...

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
I think I have a case that I could use.I have an old (2000) IBM Intellistation M Pro Type 6849. Since the IBM motherboard is shot, I'm thinking of putting the EVGA motherboard inside of the care. It's an ATX full-sized tower (originally meant to be a workstation), will it be able to hold the XFX 680...

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
It will be running a 32-bit Vista Business partitioned to a 32-bit Ubuntu 7.10....so 2 will be good enough.
I'm looking at a full-sized desktop case, one that has 2 hard disk slots and 2 optical drive slots..

Re: Building a medium-to high spec gaming desktop...
I've heard more reviews about the 512 MB 8800 GT, and prefer NVIDIA in desktops.
However, a Crossfire Xpress motherboard is my alternative.
Does anyone have any good cases and cooling systems for the setup that I have listed?

Hey, I'm trying to build a decent gaming computer to supplement my T61p...here are the specs so far which I have decided, since I don't need the most amazing performance, I configured the most budget 512 MB 8800 GT setup that was possible..

As I posted earlier, I am getting my new laptop, and I'm wondering if any of you know anywhere online where you can get the Acer Travelmate 6460-6263 business laptop, because I only can find 2 places to buy it.
Does anyone know where to find it?
