ordered one each for me and mercy this morning.

Happy Birthday

no inside pics yet, it's a real pain to plug the side panel fan back in with the V6gt cpu fan on there. May get some inside ones later. for now this is what the outside and my gaming area look like. the one on the left is the new one, and the right side is the one it replaced. Yes everything is a mess right now, but I haven't taken the time to sort everything since the swap, I still got the one my old gaming rig replaced setting behind me beside my guitars, and crap, so I can't back up anymore for a one shot pic. I use the right side pc for TV tuner card mainly, and right now it still has everything on it that I may need before I get around to installing it on my new one.

Happy Birthday

Great news Cobra. We'll continue to pray for ya'll for a finished recovery.

I see somebody, but can't decide who it is.

what kind of problems? I have always ran multiple hard drives. Never had any issues. Hollar if there's something I could help with.

Up and running, still gettting everything istalled and all game patches and such. hopefully I can just play tomorrow night and enjot this new beast.

I personally don't care for the gaming keyboards, at least the plain flat ones anyway. I got a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. Been using it since about Thanksgiving or Christmas, It is awesomely comfortable. It has a lot of features, not so much for games, but the shape and contour of it is more like a game pad. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1515763&CatId=142 and I just use a fair sized Logitech mouse.

Welcome to the family.

Happy Resurrection Day.

Happy Easter or Happy Resurrection Day.

Congrats and welcome. May you have good long stay.

I may be in the market for a new router myself. I have a Cisco Linksys E3000. NOT happy with it. It worked fine for several months, maybe even about a year. Now I can rarely get my laptop to connect to it, and Mercy has to be in the room with it to connect her kindle to it as well. I have tried my Droid X on it too. It will show a great strong signal until I try to connect something to it, then BAM, it's gone for a few seconds. I finally did some research on the symptoms, only to find that a TON of others are have the same problems. Some say firmware, but also it's less than a 50/50 chance it will help. Most are saying that doesn't help either. Some say temps are causing it, I just put an old dead flash drive under the front of it to elevate it so maybe some heat could escape, less than an hour ago, cause it was fairly warm to the touch. We'll see if that helps after it cools for a while. It works fine on the wired connections, just unreliable for wireless.

Welcome new idiots.

Happy Birthday

I looked back to make sure, but thats why I went with the 932 case, it comes with all 3 available 230mm ports already having a fan in them, and I also have one spare 120mm still in the box if I need another. And I only got 8 gig of ram instead of 16 here's the ending result of the order: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4Ghz Unlocked LGA1155 CPU ASUS P8Z68-V LX INTEL Z68 LGA1155 MOTHERBOARD Cooler Master V6 GT Multi-Socket CPU Cooler Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit DVD OEM Lite ON 24X DVDRW SATA OEM (got 2 of these) EVGA GeForce GTX 560 1GB SC GDDR5 PCIe Dual DVI WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA HD 7200/64MB/SATA-6G Seagate 1TB Serial ATA HD 7200/64MB/SATA-6G Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case Cooler Master Silent Pro M1000 Modular 1000W PSU Corsair Dominator GT 4GB PC15000 DDR3 1866MHz 2x2G (got 2 of these)

thanks for the report. I ended up going with i7 2600 k. actually just ordered everything a few minutes ago, before I read the forums.

Thanks Rugger

Made a few changes to my picks, going with an i7 2600 3.4ghz, and an asus p8z68 mobo, with 16 gig ram, (and I checked to make sure it is on the compatibility list this time) still getting the gtx 560ti 1g Same case, but a 1000 watt modular psu, and the V6gt coolermaster cpu fan. Requested my quote this afternoon, and hopefully nothing will sell out before I can get back home and ok the quote tomorrow after work and get the processing started. Pop in law is off from thursday, till next wednesday, it's all getting shipped to his house, plus, he's the one who started teaching me about computers in the first place, so he's who I usually call in times of confusion. WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!, I can't wait to get this new rig up and going.

Hope you're having fun, see you soon.

Had a blast with all the new folks in poker last night. But next time be prepared for the chiccarones and PBR farts, LOL.

might just check your temps and such, or possibly check your psu, sometimes they can work well enough to run until you get someting intense going on. that is if you want to attempt to solve the problem rather than just building new.
