+1 That's all I can say. Well thought out :thumbup: Well planned :thumbup: Well thought out for the economy :thumbup: Even if the level requirements are.. "up there" they're decent. :thumbup: Good job mate. :

Thanks a ton, May I know where you posted it, so I can check up on it?

Wow.. it has certainly been a long time since I was last on tip.it.. and even longer since it's had anything to do with RuneScape.. I quit the membership about two years back, when RuneScape lost its "Pizazz" for me. Anyways, I wanted to post a Q&A on the forums, but it's member only.. So.. if it's not against the rule.. and if anyone here is kind enough to do so.. could you please copy and paste my question onto the RuneScape forums for me? (Again, I don't know if this is against the rules.) "Q: When I used to play RuneScape, I live for Construction. I loved it, I breathed it. But lately I've seen that it's all but died amongst other skills. So my question to you folks at Jagex is, are you planning on restoring Constructions original shine, by giving it new features? Perhaps new rooms, or a new way to use the skill.. Or maybe even being able to place your furniture anywhere you want, like the SIMS. I would love to see Construction come back from the dead..." Again, I would love for anyone to post this on the Forums for me.. This thread was not made for people to answer the question on Tip.it, for I'll leave that to JAGEX, so please, if you're so kind.. post it <3. Thanks again, and happy 'Scaping, ~Quinton595

-.- :lol: That last little bit is hysterical.

Yeah.. the day i picked out the last piece was on the weekend, so i couldn't order, then on Monday the graphic card went out of stock, followed by the hard drive and the mobo, both of those came back, but the motherboard still hasn't.. so i haven't ordered yet.

Ugh.. quick problem.. the Mobo i was gonna get went out of stock.. and it hasn't come back for a few days now.. I'm looking into a new one.. some a bit more expensive, others, just the same. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128345 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128358 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131299 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131347 Need some opinions.. to tired to debate now.. so il just go with whatever you folks suggest.

Why is it that this topic is on page 8 and you still can't figure out how to build a computer or figure out the components you want? Because i want to make sure i make the best decision possible. :)

Why is it everything i say gets reproduced tens of times on these forums? :lol: The metal was just an idea.. im still gonna get the wrist strap.

I agree if that. I never wear any anti-static stuff. Complete overkill in my opinion. If you have your mother board drained of power you should be fine. Yeah I always just sit the case on the ground in front of me and have the power unplugged. :? Yeah, its just the static, that's in your body, so even if its in front of you, you can still ESD the motherboard and processor. Jaerk-- prolly along the lines of 3-4 decades. :lol:

Go to Radio Shack or Bestbuy (or some place similar) and buy an anti-static wrist strap. You can get one for less than $10 and it could save you from frying very expensive components. Yep, I'm also gonna stand on a sheet of metal, as added protection, hopefully that should be enough.

Hell yeah. I was googling ways to ground myself during the construction, and i keep watching tut videos. I Am a worrywart.. cause for me, this is a large sum of money, so i wanted it to be perfect, or as close to it as possible. Hopefully, this should accomplish just that. :)

Well there always working on a new OS, it's the nature on computing, there will always be something better and faster coming out just around the corner. Get Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out. The requirements are going to be the same for Windows 7 as they are for Vista so you will not need to upgrade your pc to run Windows 7. Ok. Well il do some more research, and find out some more thing, then il come back But can I avert everyone's attention to the first page, first post? Please, for the cost of the computer, could you guys give me a rating of the whole computer out of 10? The build is fine. Buy it. Build it. That's a pretty good build for the money, and you're not going to find that at Dell. So like 8/10.. Well that's pretty good.

Mm, yeah cause i did some more research, and i was talking to a guy in RL, and we were going over how vista will dissapear in a few years, due to the fact that Microsoft is already working on a new OS. Problem is, the Microsoft word, and other programs, wont work with printers, or games, or things like that.

The parts you get can affect vista that much? But which vista to get? 32 bit? 64? Home? Pro?

Hey guys, i looked around in the tech forum, and i couldn't find anythign simmilar, so here goes. Xp vs Vista. In all the Mac commercials, vista sounds like it has a ton of problems, but of course, that's macs idea, PCs competition, so what do you expect. What are the flaws behind Vista? Because if i should get vista, that's another 150-450 dollar I gotta spend. With XP its close to the same.

It has a PCIe X16 for your graphics card. What else are you buying that's X16 or AGP? True.. I dun know.. i guess at the time it kinda seamed cheap. Well I'll stick with it anyways.

Really? Cause I was watching some videos on building your comp, and i didn't know if the MSI had all the ports and slots I needed.According to you two it does.. I guess i stick with it then.

Hold on.. i didn't actually put the order through yet, and for a good reason. Im not too sure about my Motherboard. I found tons, that were cheaper, with better reviews than the MSI one. Im using NEweggs Comparing tool, to select a few really good ones. Now the price is jumping back up to what someone said was too expensive. But i can find the extra 50 dollars somehow. Here's the ones with tons of good reviews. (Up to 650) GIGABYTE: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128358 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128359 ASUS: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131296 --Expensive http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131299 --Expensive http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131237

Ok. Well I've deiced on the PSU, put it through, and I'm ordering the pieces as we speak. First, I would like to thank everyone (Flamers too) for helping with the choices. Hopefully, contrary to Nadril, it wont be a brick :lol: Your help was appreciated, and i obviously wouldn't of gotten this far without it. Thanks to those tut videos, I am learning very useful things, that I can use when I want to upgrade something. Mods: Please keep this thread open, as i would like to state, in a few days, how the building process is going. Thanks again. =; ~Quinton595

8.6ghz? I sure hope that's a typo because if not it's [bleep] [developmentally delayed]. Whatever dude. Have fun with your $1,000 brick. No, most of us actually didn't -- at least I know me and sloter didn't. I recommended him a great pre-built PC for $700 he seemed happy with, and then decided he wanted a dell until he decided he wanted to build something. And we aren't responsible for his computer. HE is the one building it, HE is the one making decisions here (lord knows he isn't listening to any of us) and HE will be the one to deal with an expensive brick of a machine. When he is saying stuff like "oh well I'll look inside my computer to see how it's set up" you know it's set for trouble. But like I said, whatever, it's his money. Well indeed it is. And I'm obviously not blaming anyone for the outcome. I AM the one building it, I AM the one making the decisions, and as Nadril said, none of you are responsible, nor did i ever say so. Now i know everyone here is fed up about the PSU's, but since it's the only piece left, any help on the top 3 I stated before would be appreciated. If not, you're welcome not to post.

Duo Cores are a waste, especially since he's not playing Crysis and wants his rig to be future proof. Now granted a Q6600 isn't impervious, but Quad's will soon the new Duo's. Dell: My Components Intel® Core2 Quad processor Q6600 (8MB L2, 2.4GHz, 1066FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit Microsoft Works 9.0 1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis No Monitor 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 4DIMMs 500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache 16X DVD+/-RW Drive ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB supporting HDMI Total: $624 Newegg: Q6600: $190 Vista 64bit: $99 Motherboard: $105 4GB RAM: 40x2, $80 [$60 after rebate] PSU: $50 ATI 3450: $30 Case: $50 CD/DVD: $26 HD: $54 Total:$684 Wow, that's a nice budget setup.

Honestly, that's why i started this thread in the first place. I've compared my current pieces to sets on dell, and the dell's are about $2100 4 programs at once - does that count as ANY program? or just large cpu intensive ones? The quad is an upcoming technology, right behind the i7m, and with more and more programs switching to quad, i think its a better buy, as stated by everyone here. PS. Check two posts up.

LOL... :lol: Go to bed one night, wake up with about 10 posts of flames, now that's a first. Assembling the computer itself isn't a problem. Obviously i wont do it the first day i get the parts. I'm opening up my current computer to see how it's set up. Once i attempt making mine, Il compare the two. Those video's on youtube were very useful. Obviously it wont be as if an expert was making it, but that's all the fun. Now, it seems like on the last ten post's, Jason's the only one who's still trying to help me, so i will address him. Jason: Those tut links are very nice, I'm sure they will come in Handy. Typing more as i speak, just checking previous posts. Ok.. so i went back through this thread's history, and i reviewed all the PSUs mentioned to this point. I've found that modular is just too rare, as only about 20 PSU's have it, and for one reason or another, I cant buy them (Too much power, too expensive, etc.) Now, i would still LIKE modular, but I've decided that my case is big enough that the extra cables wouldn't do much. Going with the blue look, and because it has good reviews, all the cables i need, and a nice price, The before mentioned Blue Storm: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817104034 The OCZ stealth, because of it's nice Velcro strap, good reviews, nice power, all the plugs i need, and a nice price: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817341012 This is one I really like, on top of the blue storm, for it's nice price, tons of cables, great reviews, and it's a solid company. (according to reviews) The Corsair 450: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817139003 So those are basically my final three. And please, at this point, if you're quite pissed off, just don't post. I'd rather have help from 1 or two people, than get flamed.

Wow, thanks for taking the time. You've solidified my thoughts about the Q6, if that makes sense. BTW, which PSU did you think was better? Jason -- Do you have any examples? there were only 20 PSU's in the 500-600W range, that were modular, so my selection was limited.
