You'd think that a place who overcharges and who I have no clue how they've stayed in business this long would be open on Sundays...not at all.  BTW...Three Rivers is the worst town ever...you think you could find some simple electronics without having to go to Kalamazoo?!  NOOOOOOOO!

Anywho...it was one of the bigger resistor so I just threw in a 400W to replace the burnt out 350W.

Are any of you guys considering any upgrades in the near future?  I really need to rebuild the server, and I'm thinking about upgrading the Bobulator.  My plan is to buy a new motherboard, processor, video card, and RAM for the Bobulator, then move the old stuff to the server for a complete rebuild.

I don't look forward to formatting the server because the rebuild process is a multi-day task, but it's got to be done eventually.

With the wedding coming up and Meredith and I shopping for houses, it'll likely be next spring before this plan comes to fruition.

Who'd want to put that crap in their PC?  You'd be begging for a meltdown!

I've been seriously considering building my own rig lately.  Why do you ask if we are upgrading??

It was just a general question.  I'm considering upgrading my machine and was wondering if anyone had any hardware recommendations.

I'm trying to get out of this for less than $700 (real life has been expensive lately), and I've got a list of hardware (mobo, processor, RAM, and video card) that is currently weighing in at ~$650.  I'll probably make the leap sometime next spring, so I'm sure things will be even cheaper by then.

I told you I would sell you my old rig (new to you!) for only $823.64.


Which happens to be what my new one would cost...

There is a new E6750 with 1333MHz FSB that would really kick ass and its pretty cheap.  I was surprized at the price.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115029

The ram(at 1333MHz) is super expensive tho, and it only comes in DDR3.

If you think that's expensive, check out the new quad core processors...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115027

That's not even a "special edition" chip.  Just wait until Intel releases the Quad Core Extreme Edition processors!

If those are those damned "emulated" quadcores I should kick you in the junk!

note to intel, just because you can get your dual cores to act like two processors per core doesn't mean you get to advertise something that isn't there!

If I'm not mistaken, they're dual-core, dual-die processors, so it isn't really "emulated," but it still isn't the real deal.

Does anyone know how many CD-Rs have to go bad before you can return the product?

Also...is it better just to return it to the store or go to the manufacturing?

Thanks,

If it is brand new I would say 50% and return it to the store.

If it is used (by you pat that is an understatement, zing) I would say if it is spitting 90% bad then return it to the manufacturer.
