Pick up a 19" Samsung Syncmaster 997DF (Silver case) I JUST got back from the store a couple hours ago. This montor kicks ass!!! I only paid $209 USD. . . Now go, go :)
Yes I JUST orderd the parts for my new system (see my sig) but I had a ****in hell of a time finding a 6800 GT, but gameve.com has some XFX cards commin in tomorrow. The XFX cards are saposed to be great overclockers. . .
AMD just cut prices across the board and I just got and Athlon 64 3000+ for $175 + shipping from newegg.com ! ! ! WOOT

Dude, just take a 80mm fan from the your case (if you have one) strip the black and red wires and use some electricians wire ties to replace the one inside the PSU!!! Or you could solder the stripped wires to the PSU contacts.
Depends on your motherboard, does it support dual channel? IE NForce 2 chipset for Athlon XP? I always go with 2 any way, because if one craps out on me there's always another stick there for backup.
Talk to an accountant and a lawyer, find out what paperwork you need to fill out in order to register in the town/state/province or whatever. You will need to outline your business for your own sake, so you do not stray too far from what want to accomplish. Look a into somekind of government...

The only thing that has me baffled is that the MSI card uses different capacitotrs, so can the capacitors put up with the humidity here in Boston or handle some overclocking?
Without being biased, I want to know which is better. A 128mb GeForce 6800 (non gt and non ultra) or a Radeon 9800Pro? See I am building a new machine next week and I just found a eVGA 6800 for less than $100 more than a 9800Pro.
Thanks everyone! ASUS you kick ass man!

Dude, can I tell you I have been working in the industry for 6+ years and at only 24 years old there is one thing I can tell you. You are never truly a "GURU" because once you think you know EVERYTHING, everyone else just passes you by. Plus there is always someone who knows more. . . Dont...
No no no, not the actual onboard memory, your right about that the 128mb and 256mb cards are about the same performance. The XT is a rip off! ! ! I was talking about the 256BIT memory, thats the actual memory bandwidth. If its cut in half, the performance will be crippled as a result. Get...
