I bought the following system for 1410, assembled.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 500watt power supply 2gigs DDR2 ram 667mhz 250gb SATA 7200rpm 18x samsung dvd burner Geforce 8800gts 640mb
Anyway I'm thinking of adding one of Dell's 22inch widescreen monitors to it (around 300 bucks), but I know absolutely nothing about displays. So, anyone know of a nice widescreen display for around 300-400 dollars?
well it looks like u were just unlucky. i was reading the reviews from their site and asking around on forums and ppl ive talked to say they are great.SLI_Yoshi
Well, also they got a C from the better business bureau. That's not a ringing endorcement.
[QUOTE="drucom"]Cyberpower has mixed reviews. So say everything came fine, others say that they even received wrong components. So it's a luck thing. They are dirt cheap, though. With prices like that I wouldn't be surprised if they only made a few dollars profit per PC. Velocity Micro is an excellent choice, but don't even THINK of getting a DX 10 setup for around US$ dollars, then you're dreaming. The card itself will be around 1/6 to 1/3 of the price, depending on the one you want. The processor options are reduced due to price constraints, and you'll end up buying one that bottlenecks your card. RAM won't be so good, and neither will memory. I won't even begin with the monitor. I'm looking to buy one myself from Velocity Micro, it's around US$2,000, because I don't trust Cyberpower. I might hold out until prices on the 8800 gts 640 drop, so i can snatch that instead of a 7950 GTS 512 card, as id have to switch the mobo as well later when it comes to upgrading itme.
Yeah, I was thinking that I'd put around 1500 in now and then add the extra gig of ram in a month and then the extra harddrive and someday a nice DX 10 card, but I figure now I'll just get a nice processor, ram, sli motherboard and power supply so that I'll be set. I figure in a year I'll buy a quad core anyway, so I should be as cheap as possible now.
I've looked up all the PC companies on the bbb and all that I've found is that PC makers suck.
I was thinking about Dell but I saw that all their computers come with a 375watt power supply, which would really suck if I wanted to get a direct x 10 videocard someday.
I don't want to see any N64 games on the DS. I'd rather see Nintendo put the time, effort and funding into new games. Especially given that by the end of the year (hopefully) we'll all have Revolutions and be able to download N64 games.Potemkin2005
I agree... and if your name is in reference to the Eisenstein film then you have good taste.
