would it be a good idea, to buy all the parts individually and make it myself? ive done it in the past but it was a while ago. another website i was recommended was -[link]- and i only need the computer. no monitor, no mouse, no speakers etc. is it a good idea to get it with Vista or XP? why? |

if ur gonna buy one proprietary...go to costco they have nice dual core, media hp's. Fast. Efficient. And Cheap. Ohh and Tigerdirect IS MUY GAY. Dont go to bestbuy they are expensive and rip offy. But It might be better to go with building it urself i you can. Lemme know wat you want and i can shop around 4 u. <3 nate | ||

ok, all morning i've been shopping around on newegg. i took your advice and dropped tiger direct. this is what i've come up with. i would greatly appreciate if you could look at all the categories and tell me which one is the best deal/choice or if i am way off and need to consider different processor or motherboard etc. i numbered them so you can reply with the one in each section is the best. i appreciate all help and advice!! Case: 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- 4.) -[link]- 5.) -[link]- Processor 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- Memory 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- Hard Drive here is where i am torn between two ideas. get two smaller HDD and RAID1 (right, or is it RAID0 them together and split the distribution of memory). or one decent size and leave it at that. (at least 80 gigs) note: the ones i chose just happened to be all Western Digital, just a coincidence 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- 4.) -[link]- Optical Drive 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- Graphic Card (SLI? probly not---cost more money) 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- 3.) -[link]- 4.) -[link]- Motherboard not sure if these are compatible with the other components. take a look. 1.) -[link]- 2.) -[link]- |

the one i picked is perfectly fine to run CSS minus the vista part. other than that its fine...you dont need that much to run css efficiently. i run it efficiently..on a really crap computer(on high settings too) | ||
