[M_2NR]

im just on shitz tho that case is super sexy and i bet you have A lot of place you can hide all the wires. can't wait to see it.

[speedfreak99]

how much does it cost to bring in those parts via skybox or whatever shipping method you use.

depending on who you bring it in with. For instance JSL you might get away with most things and pay only shipping. However with websource and a few others you will be bulled from tax and duties and when i mean bull... i mean you go be like just hit meh...

Thank God when i tested websource, it was an Atom PC yes.

But for real...the tuners with experience let us know the best shipping/shopping solution for computer parts (for build purpose or repair) cause in all it can be at least 60lbs of shipping weight, then to face the discretion of the half senile customs officers attached to the shipping company....
and i understand we are liable only for VAT and not customs duties?

[M_2NR]

Boy... i get hit duties too on the case.

fawkers. Thank God again it was a mini pc and it wasnt a HAF.

Cases are one thing if you can get it down here... do it.

[Ronaldo95163]

I believe PC parts are cheaper because of no duties or something (someone correct me if im wrong) but one way to get by some of those charges are to email the seller and ask them to list the item as "used" and to tell them the ship in smaller packaging or smallest as possible

[jm3]

am i really seeing trailers for mw3? if so i need to buy either a new xbox 360 or build my new pc (both fricken broke at the same time )

Duh they both intel but you real marketing the LGA 1155 like your post above

[Chimera]

i poor yunno daz all i cud afford.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

i poor yunno daz all i cud afford.

but that is my point, 1155 is cheaper than 1366, yet you buying 1366.

the top of the line 1366 processor is US$1,000.00 and the top of the line 1155 processor is US$314.00

and they are comparable in day to day performance - the i7 2600k is intel's flagship processor at US$314.

infact the 1366 processor you bought is often compared to the i5 2500k 1155 processor which is even cheaper!

the 1155 also uses far less power to save on your light bill

[dean_spleen09]

will get the case on friday

how much did you pay in skybox fees ?

d man done buy he parts bai dont try to now knock him up. We already do him that long time. (lemme hush, i have d same bird nest psu that kicks azz)

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

well I was trying to get the same answer out of gracen and now out of ABA Trading LTD

but neither of them answered me - I feel there is something I missing as to why people building 1366 machines from scratch right now.

in fact they could go with a i5 2600k for less money and get better performance than a i7 960

am I missing something? Or is it that people just not researching before buying?

[M_2NR]

am I missing something? Or is it that people just not researching before buying?

i feel its that self.

I still dont get why after so much debate and all the links shared, 1366 still being preferred. Even the i5's perform well and can be compared as a bang for buck.

As I said unless one is getting 1366 parts on sale... like at least 20% off... i dont see why not pay 20-50usd more and get the better hardware. Its probably something that you want lasting your 3-5 years (if you paid so much in the first place) why not get the best at the moment in time.

Post pics when u finish your build.

I was considering selling my i7 system but since it still able to run stuff i got a new case for it.

I have the same psu as you so i wanna see your cable management.

[Ronaldo95163]

x2!

i actually got fed up this rounds and rearranged my compartments on the 900. So i have fan free one an the bottom so i can stuff all the unwanted ones there.
There is somehow a molex and a sata line running up the back. Up to now I dont know how it fit!





and no i didnt take off the cover. too lazy.
(yea i realize now i should move that bottom HDD to the top so that some air would flow to the 460GTX... may be next clean out

[HCCA]

^^I cyar tell u how much i hate that case nah.

When i bought my first one abt 3 yrs ago i thought it was 'da bomb'. Good cooling and aesthetics but oh god the inside cramp up. Bought a used one abt 2 yrs later (cheap nah) but i sell it fast fast to a tuner.

The Antec 1200 better doh, gonna keep that for my amd system.

Latest build is ah Thermaltake Xaser VI case. It come out neat enuff but i have to install ah custom liquid cooling kit in it before i close it up. Should be able to post pics next week in it's current state.
