Putting together a new tower


Sapper

Recommended Posts

I am tired of upgrading my components on my desktop so I am going to splurge and get a new rig together.

I need to stay on the cheaper side, and have honestly not gotten into hardware reviews in 10+ months. I wanted to check and see if any of you guys have ordered from newegg recently and have enjoyed what they have gotten (anything and everything)?

Yep, a nice case is a must. Here is the one I got about 6 months ago with my last build. Lot's of room and won't break the bank. Great air flow with up to 7 fans. I also like that the psu is on the bottom. This has plenty of room for any video card on the market today.

That doesn't look like it would fit most computer tables. :|

I picked up one of these as an open box special for $545 for the g/f for xmas.

Had to replace the pooty psu in it already, and the ram is only 1333mhz. But other than that, you couldn't build that pc that cheap.

I haven't seen a game it wouldn't devour yet at 1920 resolution.

My next rig will probably be an ibuypower i7 open box. Just plan on replacing that psu asap.

Why do you need 2 computer cases?

Pretty much the same machine I gave the g/f for xmas, except I only paid $550. $630 counting psu.

I'd get better ram than 1333 if I were building it from scratch.

I ordered some pieces off amazon separately, so I put this together as a mockup for them to be in one place and accidentally doubled up the cases, but didn't order 2 :)

I'd get better RAM and a bigger HDD. The prices on HDD's really make 1TB easily feasible as the price jumps between the successive hard drives aren't really that high.

I've found newegg to be fantastic in all aspects.

Though there are rumors that they artificially inflate the reviews of certain products by removing bad reviews.

Probably because most reviews are completely stupid and people will rate something 3 stars just because they didn't know how to install it.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
