[STORM1234]

looking for a used gaming system to buy, max budget is 2500. let me know what alyour have to offer.

gaming and 2500 doesnt go together........you would be luckier searching the forum for used parts and building it yourself..the key word is searching

2500 will not even get you close to a gaming system... even if you buying the tower alone.

maybe I could get a mid level gaming pc, found this one though, called him, he willing to take 2700 without steering wheels and pedals, not really into driving games. Maybe I can try and beat him down to 2500. Need alyour opinion on the system. see link below.

So to use these SSd as an external drive what do I need to do?

Just plugged in one with the usb data cables here at work and it automatically installs the driver but the disk does not show up in the my computer pane.

[ismithx]

check disk management, is it formatted?

[nervewrecker]

NTFS or something so.

Need it to show up as USB device.

Just want a backup for my stuff

[ismithx]

try right clicking on the partition in disk management and click on Change Drive Letter and Paths.that should allow you to actually make it usable with a drive letter. kinda strange that it doesn't automatically show up.

well I reach as far as the second window here and the disk didnt show up in the my computer pane.

Thinking about upgrading my pc btw. Whats the spaces on the average home pc as of late? I think mine has 1gb RAM, 2.33ghz processor, 120gb HD (I think).

yea that's pretty outdated...im guessing you're using xp?

average home pc would have
320gb hdd for the least
3gb ram
2.9ghz dual core

the specs you need would be dependent on what you would be using the pc for

gaming
web browsing,light use
work
bit of everything

[nervewrecker]

Not sure what the work PC has. I think windows 7.

My home pc needs fixing, I considering upgrading and done.

Using it for light web browsing, occasional movie watching.

What's the cost of a motherboard with the above specs you mentioned + processor + ram like?

If u find out ur motherboard model first then we can see if u can just upgrade the cpu alone or add some ram.

AMD FM2 A6-6400K DUAL CORE@3.9 ghz-$600-this is one of the better dual cores on the market but you can always opt for a quad core instead with the FA8-560K QUAD CORE-$875 doh its not really necessary if you're mainly doing web browsing and watching movies

CRUCIAL 4GB 1600MHz DDR3-$415 -4gb is a good starter and you can always slap in another 4gb to make it 8gb later on if you feel you need an added boost

ASUS A88XM-PLUS FM2+ Motherboard-$855-decent little board with onboard hdmi so you can connect it to your tv and what not...also has usb 3.0 for faster file transfer

prices were taken from wizz if you buy online you would get it a lot cheaper

of course you can go cheaper than what ive listed but with this build you would be a little more future proof

[nervewrecker]

I think my board can handle 2gb comfortable. Has another slot.

When I bought the board I buy 1gb and call it a day, just needed it to complete a paper for school.
Never got around to adding the next stick. Never missed it.

Will get the board model just now.

Hcca, you know I never got around to networking the PC and the receiver.

Was gunna pm you and let you have some lolz but work work work! Even bought home work to do.

Gracias btw spitfir3, men rocking some neat machines this rounds.

I can recycle my PS, DVD drive (never used I think), box with FireWire etc (never even used those ports) and probably hard drive.

Bought the Kingston ssd as a backup for the routine backup. Don't want to loose my music, pics and movies.

I does prefer spend upfront and get a good 5 years out of each build.

[nervewrecker]

MSI ms 7957 board I has

[racedriverpro]

Anyone knw where I can get a server case?

[kamakazi]

When you say server. . Do you mean rack Mount...Also what kind of server

[HCCA]

MSI ms 7957 board I has

Well unfortunately u cyar use anything higer than a 95w tdp cpu so is best u really up grade.

Woulda suggest an intel solution doh, lemme comfirm the parts and i go post up the configuration.

[nervewrecker]

See when ollor start with ollor Greek

Well I tried booting into safe mode today and back up my info unto my ssd but seems the sata cables effed.

Might swap processor, add ram and a video card for a bigger screen. Board can handle 8gb ram.
Might not use a DVD drive, boot from USB if I have to.

Any suggestions for processor?

[nervewrecker]

Well as I doing a complete overhaul and looking to upgrade from my AOC 17" monitor, what are decent enough monitors I should be looking at?

I seeing some nice LG screens for like under US$200.00 so they should be pretty cheap here. What else should I be looking at or where sells the LG? what features should I look for as well?

Not not gaming, just random movie at most.

[Ronaldo95163]

Media PC not so?

1080p
24" widescreen would be ideal imo
DVI and HDMI connectivity

[Trini Hookah]
