Thanks guys for looking out for me. Just like the big brothers I never had. I say that because I know that you're both over 40. lol. Sorry didn't mean to let everybody know.
.......c
I'll let you guys know what happened with BB. Thanks again.
Oh! Lp531 thanks for your input as well.

Using new case now[Thermaltake Armor] but my temps are not what I like CPU Idels at 30-31 and mobo at 37 degrees... BUT this case has controlable fans, anyone know of a free program in till I get a controller?
Glad I switched cases when I did,have not backed up thing in a long time and my old 80 gig is a knocking- also one of my Benqs got hot enough in my old case[it was really close to some metal the same size as the bottom of the drive] that it burned the sensor to my metter, and now after moving it into the new case its a little loud...but it was not in the other case and the burned sensor didnt make a warning sound but know does- piece of junk- should of went off as it was burning....LOL
havent played w/ the sound card much yet... [Sound Blaster Fatal1ty]
Will need some help on the card... little more then what I really need- does anyone use one of these?

@Mort81, aabbccdd, and Lp531,
THANKS for helping me spend my $$$. lol. I returned the 7300GT to BB. Unfortunately they wouldn't let me get all $$$ back because I used a giftcard for most of the purchase...lol
I ordered the 7600GT from newegg.com and it should be here by Thursday if UPS doesn't screw me. lol.
Thanks again and bug (bother) you soon.

cincyrob,
Know what your talking about, but a good build can be had for not a lot of money. You already have some of the components; HDD and optical drives, monitor, keyboard and such. All you will really need is a case, mobo, cpu with fan, RAM, video card, and some other cheap stuff. lol. All this can be had for less than 1K I would think. lol. NOT to much $$$$ involved. I'm already thinking about the new build for next year. YEAH!!!

I understand not wanting or not able to take from the old computer. I have an old Dell and only used parts for a while (until $$$ was there) before other parts were added to complete the new (2nd) puter. The parts that you have to add won't be that much. I have a KVM too, so no need for 2 monitors, keyboards, and mice. lol
Good luck and use these guys for help, they know there shtuff.....

Take a look at these MB...this is whats available from newegg in 590 chipsets which is what I would recommend with AMD/CPU and SLI...sorry I havn't got back...trying to find markings for next model I want to build...finally found correct name of bomber...can't find nose art marking's...and additional gun spec's...and gun placements anywhere...
Anybody know anything about "B-17" bomber official name "Lucy" nickname "Old 666"...tail #666

Won't do any good if no else builds fine scale models...It would just be me posting pic's of works in progress by me and my brothers...
I was just wondering...I know there is all kinds of threads in AD...
Computer modding is similar to model building...attention to details...
