my PC is about 5-7 inches off the ground right now, and that is fine. My next computer desk though, I will be having it sit on top of the desk.


all I was saying is, I saw this thread, posted in it on the first page, went to sleep, went to work, and by the time I got home from work you had bought a computer

you are still going to have to update drivers and shyt just like anyone else, you know that right ?

all required discs in the box :takedat:

one more thing, bringing all my relevant shyt from my old hard drive to the new one

can yall refer me a process? i got porn and music that i aint trying to lose

You still gonna need to update the drivers.

If youre old hard drive is ATA you can just plug it in.

so when i hook up the other drive as long as the main drive is hooked to the original cable its plugged into the computer should still boot from the master(one included in new cpu) and the old drive should be recognized as a slave drive

after consulting my friend, he saying the PSU isnt as big a deal as yall making it out to be, that if its bad i'll know right away

700W c00nix tho :to: eitherway yall had me thinking it was gonna crap out and die on its own without pushing it. now if i ever upgrade the video card or go SLI yeah ill put a new one in but yall trying to kill MMS wallet(Mook :rudy:)

Pros: I've had it for a few days, been working great. Great processor and great video card. Couldn't ask for better.

Cons: Price is a bit much, but it works if you cant build your own computer. If you can, you could get all the same things, and save about a 100 or so bucks. And it didn't come with a monitor. But you do get mouse and keyboard.

so he saying the same thing yall did, atleast the PSU isnt one of the cons

PSU is only a con if it dies. But if it does die it could take take your mobo, cpu, HDD, vid card, etc with it. Youll probably be OK with 700w since that system looks like it only needs around 500w. But cheap PSU's are known for not living up to their specs. Good luck...

You pushed everyones suggestions to the side and went with something that had a PSU brand named c00nix. :snoop:

First of all you'd be lucky if that shyt was really even 500W's. Second, know if that piece of shyt goes down it can take your motherboard and CPU with it. Good luck friend.

Chill with the scare tactics bra:wtb:

one last question

Battery Backup/Surge protector, i copped this right here
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberPo...bolsp-app03-14?id=1218196191482&skuId=9926082

worth it or not worth it? also i copped a linksys wireless N router, my computer is wired through my router currently and the new one will be too, does this make any kind of difference? ive been playing my PS3 wirelessly with a g router for 4-5 years, will an N router improve on the speed? link to router:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+L...itch/2225047.p?id=1218315006708&skuId=2225047

i havent opened anything so i will return if neither are necessary
