dem beats

check with your school too MK. My wife gets OS software and MS word for like 5% of retail cost. Big savings then. And make SURE. Absolutely sure you get 64 bit. Then you can actually use all the ram you will end up buying.

while I know nothing about those items individually I have had great luck with my asus mobo. Almost all the better builds my buddy does for others he finds those to be the best option and often a value price.

I'm just draging today...

Ninja office!

Have you been to target feild yet Sean?

r2d2!

I gave you rep for that one R2

That looks darn close to spot on to me.

when did tiger direct go downhill so bad? I never use them but I didn't know they were so bad.

maybe a BL or if you can go outside of fi the xcon can handle lots o' powa and has a lower fs if that's your flavor?

I did mean side note original typing that.... but the typo was so epic I kepted it.

I'm feeling over nine thousand all over the place for no specific reason. I hope I can keep this on a roll. Must be my bro in town partly, and finally getting some things started and other things done. That and some exercize. As a size note I'm going to start dieting extremely hard next monday after the holiday. I'll probably create a body page for tracking and I'll put a thread on here so you gents can keep me honest.

Orange county! Don't get all west coastey on me now Sean. What you can do is order up some sunshine after 5:00pm from the 949 and ship it to 651. I got projects to work on mang!

Great day, I am a scrooge though so we don't do gifts. I did get a framed picture of the little guy though I told the wifey no presents this year... I have burned through SO much money this year in bills etc. I don't have anything to show for it at the moment as most of it is catching up. I know exactly how you feel about the present thing. We have all but stopped getting each other gifts and when we do it's small small things that we were going to buy anyway. We just wrap it up for the other person..... sometimes not even that. It's really tough on the W though. The W didn't get a present from the dog or cat like she usually does for mothers day. Not even something small... no aniversary anything either! She's being a good sport. She goes on vacation with the ladies in her family this weekend and I'm going to buy a smallish freezer that she has been harping on and on about and then if I can swing it, maybe some summer tires for my old rims to put on her POS car. Only if the rims fit. We planned on buying a new car this year but I'm so turned off at the idea about spending more it's not gonna happen for a few years unless my truck is unfixable. Then I hope to finally have some time here to go on a vacation. We still haven't had a honeymoon!

and WTF is 949!

what about the 763? Snaps! I forgot about you folks. ....cake eaters..... Left out 218 and 320, but I am not a 763. 949 and 612 here I have friends in the 218 an 320..... that's The-hills-have-eyes-teritory.

Use comercial screws with odd shaped heads. I'm not saying this is the perfect place, but it was number one on my search. I have used similar fastners with great luck. Home | Loss Prevention Fasteners. Security Screws, Tamperproof Nuts and Bolts, Anti-Theft Hardware, Loss Prevention Solutions and more! 1-888-584-6283 The other option my friend used is he grinds off or cold welds the groves in head of screws. He'll; use an extracor to get them out if needed. It's given that said extractor will work on almost any screw though.

MN rules other states drool TOP

from the sounds of it something running a 64 bit OS with a good chunk of RAM and you should be set. I garuntee my quad core would be more than enough for his needs, but since the I cores are out you could get an i3 or i5. Sean just slapped together something pretty good for real real cheep recently I know. I think he used an i3. Does the size of the case matter? You could just use the old case and same some $$ though. What do you think the budget is?

what about the 763? And the 801? That doesn't smell fishy enough to be from the land of a bajillion lakes! +1 for having the olympics though. That's kinda cool.... but it's no hot dish.

New egg FTW! Almost every part I got for my machine was from them.

Have a good Dads day Sean? Jr get you anything nice?

X6489^358520989 The machine Sean2 built me with me 28" hans G and keyboard mouse case everything would have been 3 times the cost for tower only from dell. And it would have been slower. Even alienware/dell couldn't match the speed.
