    functional upgrade

    my friend and i are arguing over what is the best upgrade in her situation: in general, what will provide the biggest functional upgrade? 120 GB traditional SATA --> 128GB ssd or Intel Core i7 920 (2.66MHz) --> something newer (without replacing the mb) all thoughts are welcome...

    Budget Woes (Old vs. wait for New)

    more thoughts: it's $270 for a ChimEI 22" (more than doubling my costs!) and that would be great, but does anyone know if they are good and does anyone know anything better? ty!

    A few questions...whole new comp or just upgrade?

    i don't have experience with computers on ebay, but i bet you could get at least $700 for it. If I were you I'd look at the option of selling individual parts (but take shipping into account). it's an auction though, so randomly higher/lower depending. Leslie is right though--with 2000...

    No Power on New System

    i've had a bad mobo and similar symptoms occurred. i actually never fixed it completely, but i got it working and it only caused problem when booting. i remember doing a series of things like reset the CMOS and checking the memory. i'd also check to make sure all the capacitors (or other...

    Budget Woes (Old vs. wait for New)

    wow those are awesome ideas/suggestions! thanks enginurd :cool: so that looks like a great and cheap PSU. i especially like 500W (for upgrades of course) and 12cm fan (quiet! :)). If it says 2 SATA connectors, can I only have 2 SATA drives, or do they daisy chain power or something? any...

    FS: Complete System - $400

    would you be willing to split this up? i'm interested in the drive (but what kind is it SATA I/II/PATA?) and dvd drive (again, type?) and video card (agp?) and perhaps the ram, but it might be just as cheap new (what kind is it though?) thanks!

    Newegg [H]oliday System Build Guide 0406

    I bet a lot of people would pay $10 for 6ms vs 8ms response and 700:1 vs 600:1 contrast ratio. Also, Samsung might be a better name than BenQ.
