![]() I mean do they state exactly which parts they use? Please be specific! Hey JohnnyRoy, what "parts"are better and how are they better. Should beat my P4 2.8hz machine with 512mb ram by a long ways! So when I get it all going in another week I will add in my other stuff and give it a whirl. ![]() You are right that standard HP, Dell, Acer, Gateway etc don't have the MB or case for expansion. MB has good reviews and lots to expand for what I want. The Case I chose has great expansion ability and cooling. I figure I will add my own Bluray drives etc. Check it out.ĮVGA Nvidia nForce 780i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, 3-Way PCI-E MB 3-Way SLIġ HD - 500 GB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 16M CacheĢ0X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DriveĬomes with other stuff too that I don't care about but the base system is what counts. Ibuypower so far have been responsive to me and I can fix most things as I usually do my own builds. Some had tech issues or services issues and most do. NOTE: there are others to check out like Tiger Direct, CyberpowerPC and the list goes on. I went for a system that I could add to with local parts instead of some of theirs but can work right out of the box to get going. Delivered price will be just under $1,500.00. Took the prebuilt 780sc gamer and modified it some for what I wanted. Compared built versus order the parts myself etc, etc, etc. I have been doing my research now for 2 months and finally bit the bullet. Head off to the computer store, tell them what you want, and they'll build it for you. If you lack the experience then that's not a problem. You're much better building one yourself. They'll create mobos with only the jacks/outputs relative to the system that they're building so if you want to expand, you're out of luck. HP is great for saving money on their premade systems. For example the PSU that comes installed has usually been calculated for that particular set up and if you want to expand, you end up having to buy a new PSU. I was hoping this configuration would allow me to upgrade to better processors at least in the near future, but it seems I'm stuck with either a 2.66 ghz core 2 duo or the 2.93 ghz core 2 extreme.The problem with buying pre-made computers is that usually they're not very expandable. I understand from Intel's website the e6850 is not on the supported cpus list, but was curious if I just plugged it in and changed the fsb setting to 1333 in the bios if it will work/be stable. I would love to upgrade to the new 3.0 ghz e6850, but knowing that it has a 1333 ghz fsb, vs the 1066 fsb built into the motherboard, is this even an option for me? Or do I have to get a new motherboard like the bad axe 2 D975XBX2 to support the new cpu?
