    ive been using a guide at pcmech.com, its given me more help than anything else. and i believe thats only with older heatsinks, adding paste wasnt in the instructions for my processor anyway, so i pray to god i wasnt supposed to, cuz if i try to get that thing back on, either the motherboard or me is gonna snap.::>^X::

    get the samsung syncmaster....from newegg.com. And you dont have to worry about refresh rate since you have your 9800 image

    theres not many that are under 1 hundred, and those that are probably arent of too good quality. give em a try and see if they work :::^b::. i got the cheapest 19 in i could find so i guess i shouldnt talk...

    o0 nice

    but 19inch is really big...

    what about a 17inc?

    i could shed like 30 bucks...right?

    image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    oh

    another question

    now that i have a radeon9800xt256....should i go with the 420wt psu for 30 bucks more?

    or stick to the 350?

    image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    so i should eh?

    trust me...i won't cry, im happy with my cardimage

    but 30 bucks just for upgrading that much

    thats insane

    image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    lol

    so are you sure that 350 wont cut it?

    cuz...i'm trying to ration every cent

    and/or is a 420watt power supplu really worth the extra 30?

    or am i just blowing the money for nothing?

    does it make a difference inperformance?

    image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    hmm

    k what do you reccomend for this?

    gig ram
    5 fans
    the graphics card
    lights

    u know the rest of the specs...

    will 350wt cut for that?

    image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    hmm

    so a 420 watt would pay off big in the near future?

    or does it risk being fried also?

    AAAAAAHHHH!!!! IT BEEPED!!!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! basically all thats left now is installing the drives and windows and im set! now for my final question: can i use a windows xp cd that came with my old pc? weve installed it a couple times to the same pc, but will it work for others?

    ok... i have these little 1 pin wires, they have things on them like "tpa +" or "tpa -" or "+5v". i have no idea what you do with these. i pluged all the other things into the panel, but on the diagram for the motherboards they have similar letter combinations for the panel... help.
