Thanks for the suggestions and help. I can workout some combination of the above I'm happy with.

Forgot to say I use an old 19" Samsung as a second screen. I will probably upgrade that to another 24" at some point but that's not included in the budget. Review of the PSU I've got: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1012-page1.html It's very quiet I'm just wondering if it's powerful...

Building a new PC for gaming and game development. I can spend around £600-700. I can reuse any bits from my old one: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Nexus NX-5000 R3 530W PSU Intel Core2Duo E6850 3.0Ghz 4GB DDR2 Radeon HD5770 Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB x2 (one for backup) LG 24" LCD Antec Dragon...

Yeah the very first two screens you see. These two screens: One, Two (Not my pictures, just some random ones I found on the net that look close) It takes about 15 mins to get to the "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." line. Windows Loading screen then appears maybe 15 seconds later. Windows itself...

Wouldn't that be for a Windows installation problem? This starts right from bootup before Windows gets involved, and once it does bootup it runs perfectly. Just started happening today. I powered on-off a few times and it happened every time. I've only managed to get Windows loaded once...

Can anyone explain this? Shutdown my computer last night like normal, no problems. Today when I turned it on it took about 10 seconds to hear the beep startup noise. Uh oh... then it proceeded to bootup extremely slowly. On the first screen where it does memory tests, detects ide drives...

Alright, guess I'll wait a bit longer. Thanks.

I haven't upgraded in a while... this system is getting on for 5 years old now apart from one graphics upgrade 2-3 years ago. Surprisingly it still plays most new games on high settings, albeit with low/no AA and sometimes some effects turned off. Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Intel Core2Duo E6850...

As much as 4%? Wow that's pushing an extra 2 fps...

Anyone tried a LG W2452TX 24" 1920x1200 ? It's about the same price as the 22" 120Hz monitor I was going to get.

Currently got a nvidia 8800GTS 320mb and a Samsung SM931BW 19". Looking at upgrading to a ati 5770 and a Viewsonic VX2268WM 22" 120Hz which I can get for about £340. Any other suggestions or comments before I click buy? Will I really see that much of an improvement over the 8800? I...

As title. Anyone know? Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to be using a 3x1TB RIAD5 setup for storage. Never used raid before so I got some quick Qs: 1. If the motherboard dies does this risk your data? 2. How easy is it to move a RAID5 setup from one pc to another? Same process as a single drive? 3. What's the biggest risk to a RAID5...

Thanks.

Hello. I'm redoing my hard drive setup at the moment and need some advice. Currently I had a 500GB SATA HDD for Windows and an old 300GB HDD for extra storage. I need more space (more speed is a bonus) so I'm thinking of redoing it as this: 1x Crucial M225 128GB SSD - Windows 7, Games...

Thanks. I don't know what graphics card I'll get yet, but probably whatever is around £250-275 in 3 to 6 months time.

Hello. Currently I have a OCZ StealthXStream 600w (link). My current specs are: C2D E6850 4GB Mem 8800GTS 320mb 500GB SATA HDD 300GB IDE HDD All of which the PSU handles fine. But I want to also add these: 3x 1TB Samsung F3 HDD (I plan to put them in RAID 5) 1x Crucial M225...

Wouldn't that mean a ~25% drop in prices in just 3 months? Doesn't seem right.

Yeah it's not an invite system, it's called recommendation or something. You recommend that someone joins, it's up to google if they let them.
