Now will I notice a big difference from my current computer to my new build.
Will the encoding of dvds be faster, will internet browsing surf faster ?

From a scale of 1-10 or percentage from 0-100%
How much difference will I notice, or will there be from my current to my new computer ?

Let me know
thanks

The new build will be under $220 w/ the case.

LE0O37 · 05-24-2007, 09:46 AM

Hey whats the cheapest price I can get a case w/ psu and fans ?
I will look for it locally to save on shipping costs.

LE0O37 · 05-24-2007, 07:29 PM

I'm also throwing a lightscribe DVD burner on my new build.

Let me know how much better is my new CPU vs my OLD one.

I would say 70%-80%. You will be surprised. Just know when you get your case locally you will most likely have to by a Power supply because Dell often use power supplies that only work in dells.

PabloTeK · 05-24-2007, 09:18 PM

A nice case is the Antec NSK4400, it has a fair PSU in it and is very well built.

LE0O37 · 05-24-2007, 09:26 PM

Nice simple case.
But I'm not going to spend more on whats outside than on whats inside.
I'll look for one for under $40 with both fans and the psu.
Thanks

I will use a 80gb Hard Drive that I already own.
