HOLY SH!T

I guess the point behind that is electric current travels cleaner between molecules that are closer to zero kelvin.

Ok, I'm finally sick enough of my piece of shit dell laptop to build myself a new computer.

I've already got some hard drives kicking around, and a friend is going to give me his old vid card until I save up more money and buy a good one.

Here are all the components I'm buying, Perhaps you could give me your opinions on them. I'm on a super tight budget, so i'm not really going for top of the line stuff, but i think these components are pretty good. This is going to be my first time building a computer from the ground up.

Motherboard: MSI K8M800-CE Socket 754 VIA K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130494

RAM: Rosewill 512MB (2 x 256MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model RW400/512KITG

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820223044

Processor: AMD Sempron 64 2500+ Palermo 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor Model SDA2500BXBOX

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104251

Case: JPAC 411 Black Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811217015

P.S.
Does the processor usually come with a heatsink, or will i need to buy one seperately?

Well personally I think you should save up and go with Socket 939, it will give you more upgrade options in the future and the ability to run RAM in Dual Channel.

As far as the RAM, you can get a single 512MB stick for about as much as the double pack.

The case looks nice.

That processor does come with a heatsink and fan.

Since this is your first time here's a little warning. Be careful with the processor, don't touch the pins on the bottom or you will screw it up.

I bought the system this afternoon. The whole thing was kind of a whim, which is unusual for me. The whole thing cost me 200 bucks. I probably should have gotten the single 512 stick now that i think about it, because i have some smaller sticks hanging around that i could have slapped in there. Oh well. Thanks for the warning on the processor, I'll definitely be careful with it. More on this when the stuff arrives.

Man, it's like waiting for christmas.

having your shit, n0c is actually paradise. im so poor (actually, almost lower middle class) i have to buy used shit instead of new shit

Looks like my computer stuff is gonna be here on the 30th. 3 day shipping my ass.

I hate ups. When I got my mesa boogie amp, they broke the goddam thing, and wouldn't compensate me even though it was insured. ass lickers.

UPS =

Doesn't Newegg ship with FedEx?

It's been awhile since I ordered from them, but FedEx always got the stuff to me on time.

I always thought Newegg packaged things kinda weird, I oredered this screen protecter for my LCD,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824137201
it came in a huge box full of packing peanuts, they could have fit at least 5 of those in there it was so big.

[BTF]n0ctuary · « **Reply #28 on:** November 25, 2005, 02:09:17 PM »

My order is coming in 3 seperate boxes, and most of it being shipped from the same place. oh well. as long as it gets here in one piece.

Newegg offers a choice between UPS and fedex.

ĄƦçɧąɳɠҾԼ · « **Reply #29 on:** November 25, 2005, 03:46:03 PM »

Oh, they didn't offer UPS last time I ordered from them. Next time go with FedEx, they seem to be pretty good.
