I don't really like LCDs, since I use the monitor for viewing music videos and stuff alot. I realized that a little while ago. (the psps screen horrified me for movies, my cousing bought like a 30" widescreen dell that cost like1700, I hated it cause of the color) Space is not a problem on my cruddy comuter desk. I can't stand LCDs anymore, other than for games and non-media related stuff.
I don't plan on using linux, I don't know how. Maybe I'll look into it later, it was never an option before cause I'm not too computer savvy. (But I could learn)
I read that the seagates weren't too good in the performance area compared to the hitachi, even though it is quieter. True? (or will the perf. difference be neglible in most cases?)
I don't think I need two gigs of ram atm, maybe if I get into hardcore gaming or high-end software.
As for sli, I can't really budget to GTs at the moment, but I do hope to get a second one within the next year. (If I need it) Maybe I'll reconsider the x800 . . . dunno.
The mobos . . I don't really know. The dfi lan party does look good, but I don't plan on overclocking, yet. (still not sure)
The case thing I can change. Can someone recommend case + psu combo at around $120-130 total?
I have to ask this again, would I be okay with WXP Pro 32-bit over the 64-bit?
I'll order some of the parts right now (the crt, surge protector, burner, 3500+), and I'll try to decide on the rest soon, hopefully. Thanks guys. You got anymore suggestions, lemme know.
