Next week a busy week!

Postby Gunny04 » Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:43 pm

Ok Lets start.... I have a Power supply (450 watt) for $20 out the door coming, a Creative soundblaster live 5.1 for 30 (Includes gameport for a racing wheel I found) Fixed my sub woofer with dad free, 1gb (2x512) Rosewill PC2700 Ram $76.24, and a 120 GB Hard drive $55 and the Graphics card I bought a few weeks back.... When I'm done this wont be an HP..... This shouldnt be top of the line, but Good enough for me, Once I get some power its overclocking time with 6200 and Hard drive will be a slave to my already installed 160gb Hard drive! A nice total of 280 gigs........ probably close to 200 dollars of upgrades, Tell me what you think! Cheers, A very impatient Gunny for waiting for this stuff to get here!

$20 psu??
The PSU is probably the most important part of you PC, without it nothing works, definately not a item to skimp money on ;)

PC parts are a "you get what you pay for' item ;)

It'll do fine I think, I read the specs and checked it over and its brand new.... I know the risk I took, and if it blows so what always got the old one lol! but I havent the money to get some 129.99 USD PSU...... Cheers, Gunny
