Correct. Hard drive prices have gone up due to some flood or something in Thailand. I have no choice... not like I can set my own prices. And I need a computer now. Find me a cheaper WD 500gb 7200rpm hard drive with sata 6.0gb and 32mb cache and I will be your friend.

meh ive decided to go with this hdd instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136795 ssd need to come down in price per gb... i would just fill it up too fast and end up with a hdd for storage anyways would have been nice with the new build though, just to ditch hdd's...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148448 it's the best price on a 128gb I can find Im just building myself a new computer and figure "why not try out SSD" I cant afford a huge one, but this is the best dollar/gb deal I could find. I'm sketched out by some of the less...

IMO its a lot like the difference between 360 and PS3. Sony puts like 1 crazy piece of hardware in the box (Emotion Engine for PS2, Cell processor for PS3) and then puts a bunch of garbage in for GPU and everything else. The GPU in the PS3 barely does hardware lighting, its a joke. Whereas the...

In my opinion the GC as a whole taking the whole system into consideration was a more powerful console than PS2. Just look at the games, the AAA titles on Gamecube (Starfox Adventures, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, etc...) are much nicer looking games than anything put out by PS2. PS2 simply could...

Hey guys - one thing im concerned about when i put all this stuff together - I live in a small apartment with my fluffy cat, who has incredibly soft hair that floats around the apartment. Like, if you walk around my apartment with ur mouth open, ur gonna get a cat hair in it. Theres nothing I...

Is there a chart or something that shows how much power the typical computer components actually use? Like as far as cpu, gpu, ram, hard drives, ssd, optical drives, pci cards, usb, network adapters, etc... ? And primarily I am wondering about hard drives = do SSD's use much less power than...

Auction House. I was doing so bad before the auction house. I could not beat the Skeleton King on Normal. Mind you I am also trying to play the game on a Pentium 4 that is below min spec on both CPU and GPU so the game routinely drops into single digit framerates, which I blame for most of my...

Seriously man WTF are you talking about? Maybe my version is different. In my version of the auction house, I can do the following - Search for Weapons and Armour Search for Specific kinds of Weapons and Armour Search for Specific kinds of Weapons and Armour with specific level...

I'm just going to be using my 1280x1024 model right now so I suppose the extra RAM will probably be unneccesary on my display. Oh well, it doesn't really matter because there are no options less than 1gb.

I'm going to get a card lol... i'm just going to be building and testing the system with onboard graphics. I'm going to get a radeon 6850 or something... nothing too crazy, just good enough for D3 to play on high settings. Which brings me to me next question: WHy are even low-midrange...

Hey guys, do you know what is the difference when you get a "Bare drive" for a hard drive? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136697 Pretty sure that's the hard drive for me, newegg says its a "bare drive" I dont mind it not having SATA cable and box, but what will I need...

Does anybody else have a hard time playing these games after playing true HD games? The sub-HD rendering literally makes me not want to play the game, because everything looks slightly blurry.

The parts are already ordered guys! The 300 is the 2nd highest rated case on Newegg with a 5 star average rating on almost 3,000 reviews... and I don't really like the way that Coolermaster looks, looks like a transformer or something. Mostly looking for tips on the build itself, but I think...

THanks! Those are the kind tips i'm looking for :) Should the power supply be the first thing into the case?
