Id say go for the Raidmax scorpio case. You can have up to seven 80mm fans in it, and just make sure you replace the power supply. I personally own the blue 868 model and I have gotten a lot of complements on it. AIM me if you want to see some pictures of it as a finished product...

Well seeing as how I just learned to do a Raid array (Raid 0) myself, I can tell you that it will take you a little while to understand what you are doing. When I setup my Raid I had to enter into the Bios and enable the SATA Raid option (my default was set to an IDE Raid format, or "HighPoint...

I think what praetor means is what kind of raid array would you like. There is a Raid 0, also known as disk striping, which focuses on performance and speed as your data is ran on both HDD's as one drive (short summarized version), or you could have a Raid 1, also known as disk mirroring, which...

I myself own a Dell 4600, which is the model that comes with an AGP slot unlike the 2400 models. I have looked inside of the 2400 (my roommate owns one) and there isn't very much room for expansion, unlike the 4600 which has an AGP slot, SATA plug-ins, supports up to 4gb of PC3200 RAM and so...

k thanks

thanks =)

try going in your bios and checking what your mobo's hard drive config is set to. I think sometimes you have to set it to raid, but I could be wrong...also, your HDD came with a cd for raid?

Hey I was just wondering what tempatures are borderline too hot for my cpu after overclocking. I have my p4 overclocked from 3ghz to 3.2ghz and it hangs around 40 degrees celcius. When playing counterstrike it hangs between 47-50 degrees celcius. Is that too hot or are those normal temps?...I am...

It never hurts to upgrade the psu (if you get a quality one that is...)

does anyone know if the speed of your HDD can help to increase your 3dmark03 score? like 36gb raptors perhaps?...or does the HDD not even matter in that benchmark?...

I would say that you should shop for the antec brand of psu's ranging in the 400-500 wattage range. They are of good quality and shouldn't fail you. Aside from your 9200se and your sound card, you have energy hogging parts that will need sufficient power. Or, if you get any of the mediocre...

I purchased a PNY GeForce 6800 non U/GT and I am thinking about selling it because I want a GT soooo bad!! What I want to know is what is a good place to sell something like this, other than ebay, that would give me top dollar for it. All I see are good reviews for the GT and Ultra series and no...

:confused: I have two sticks of generic 256mb PC3200 DDR400 ram and was wondering (because I have nothing close to a big budget) if upgrading to 1gb would make a huge difference in performance. I see many rig specs that have at least a gig of ram but have never experienced what a gig of ram can...

In general...how long should setting up a raid 0 take including a fresh install of windows XP (with WD 36gb raptors)? Also, seeing as how winXP requires you to "activate" the software, should I run into any problems with installing XP on the new raid 0 array with the same cd key?

I just recently bought a p4 3ghz w/HT (Northwood/12 cap) processor and I want to overclock it. However, I don't know much about oc'ing cpu's and was wondering what was a good and safe way to go about it. I oc'ed it before to a measily 3.2 ghz (to be "safe") but my comp randomly shut off during a...

I have to agree with flash aaa. Try staying away from the cases with the psu included. My raidmax scorpio 868 came with a 420 watt psu but I replaced it because it was said to be bad quality...Also, I think cases that have plenty of fan expansion are always good. My case currently has 7 80mm...

I suggest getting a 7200rpm standard ATA hard drive with good ol' IDE connectors as opposed to SATA. I know that newegg.com was just recently selling a Samsung 120gig for about 88 dollars. check it out... DFI LanParty Pro mobo pentium 4 3.0ghz w/HT 512mb DDR PC3200(generic) PNY GeForce...

I just recently purchased two WD 36gb 10k raptors to put in a Raid 0, but I heard that data striping was risky if you didnt have some kind of way to back them up in case of drive failure...I was wondering what kind of drive configurations (when adding a third HDD) are possible. For example, is...

I just recently finished building my first system with parts that I bought off of newegg.com...I had a DFI Lanparty Pro 875p chipset mobo with a NW p4 3ghz HT 800 fsb. One night I was benchmarking my system with 3dmark03 and it was doing rather well (scored above 9000). Then I decided to oc the...

Go for the Tt series if money is not any issue and you want an aggressive looking gaming case. They offer plenty of cooling and even come with fan controllers. But there are many who offer unique gaming cases, I would say try looking at www.xoxide.com. They offer a surplus of gaming cases along...
