You should think about getting a second HDD Stinger and putting them in a RAID 0 for double the performance!

[Stinger]

Im prolly gonna do that in the near future. thnking about upgradeing to a 1200 watt PSU and doing SLI GTX 295 but im still contemplating in doing it

[Schlup]

I'd wait until the new GTX 300 series comes out in a month or so rather than buying a 295, but that's your call.

[Stinger]

didnt kno 300 series was commin out so soon lol.. havent seen any articles their arrival dates and such, glad u told me... then ill prolly need a bigger PSU then lol and get a 4 way sli mobo muahahahahahahaha

[tehfunk101]

do you have a power supply already?

[Got_Amm0]

i have a corsair 550 watt

[Schlup]

I don't know about the Samsung HDD...haven't ever heard anything good or bad about them so I guess that's a gamble.  You should think about getting a solid state drive if you have the money.

If you plan on on doing your wiring behind the motherboard, theres a good chance you will need a 4 pin motherboard power extender, at least I needed one with my antec 1200

[TSKseattle]

Oh no, you went 32 bit?  You should really install the 64 bit version...especially with 4GB or RAM!!!

where can i get one of those lol

[tehfunk101]

if you need one, and if your motherboard uses 4pin power, its:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812706005&cm_re=motherboard_extension_cable-_-12-706-005-_-Product

Im only saying this becaues the antec 1200 mounts the motherboard really high and the PSU really low, so many people (me -_-) have problems involving cable management.

[Got_Amm0]

ok cool thanks for letting me know

[Schlup]

I routed my cables behind the board and I didn't need any extenders...but I have the CoolerMaster HAF 932 which is a superior case!

[silvir]

Ill stick with Win98SE on my 386, 8 D

[Schlup]

You wouldn't if you were running what I am running the way I'm running it.
