    Dude, you should get a dell, like whoa.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Hmm... So, you have a Dell and you love it? Or am I missing something here?

    I'd sooner buy an American car than I would a Dell, which is to say never ever.

    You've never seen the "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!" commercials?

    Crap, jman's plans fail, newegg is out of stock on the Samsung DVD Writer. Guess he should look harder at a prefab.
    well i'll have to get another writer, but i'll still pass on the prefab. and it's unfortunate what happened to python, but his situation and mine are different for his "friends" forced him into building and thus began his problems. i mean i've have been outta the hardware game for some time so i don't know whats cutting edge, but i think i'll manage through some research and with the help of this thread. i intend to have a customized pc, and at the same time i'm taking advantage of the fact that guys like BOC and darkshadow know their stuff so why not ask their help. all in all i know i can learn from this experience too.
    thus far i'm grateful for the suggestions i've been getting.

    anyway if you dont mind going an extra 10$ over, take this card instead:

    a little err on my part, i actually budgeted for more than i had originally stated in my initial post a few pages back.
    also just made a quick change so i'm just under $700 before shipping.

    Also check out mwave.com. Great prices, beats Newegg half the time.

    Is that the subwoofer under your PC? You know what's in a subwoofer right? You know what those do to harddrives, right?

    Hmm, I completely forgot subs were one of the things that screw up HDDs. Just a question, what if the speaker's off, and it's never turned on, does that matter. My brother's got a loudspeaker, I think, the ones on either side of stereo systems, on top of his computer. It's got the bass in it, so it'll count as a sub most likely. Thing is, he doesn't use it. It's not eve plugged in, and it's sitting there to give the wireless router sitting on top of that a little more height. Will it cause problems do you guys think? Nothing's been playing up for months, so probably not.

    2nd scenario. Lets say one day my dad decides to go "hmm, I'll plug this speaker in for better bass" and decides to use it exactly where it is. Any problems then?
