Using a Tv for a monitor will be horrible, The resolution will be low and it'll be unconformable Although it would be an ok second monitor.

i am going to put a phenom chip in it... and have watercooling... It comes as 2.2 ghz i will prob over clock it to 3 ghz lol but the whole system will end up coming in under $500 which is cool.

tmandt · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2008, 03:19:10 PM »

loganbyers07 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 18, 2008, 04:26:50 PM »

phenom is the first true quad core processor...

it is dual quad core... awesome! watercooling can be pretty easy to install check on youtube for how to do it...

tmandt · « **Reply #26 on:** March 18, 2008, 04:55:02 PM »

well i already looked it up it looks pretty easy but god damn the price will bring up my budget like over 200

loganbyers07 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 18, 2008, 04:56:40 PM »

depending on what kit you get... i have seen peeps build there own kit for a lot less before... it just depends on where you get it and if it is a kit or not and who makes it...

tmandt · « **Reply #28 on:** March 18, 2008, 06:47:43 PM »

loganbyers07 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 20, 2008, 02:18:59 PM »

Vista is just a big gooey interface that slows down your computer

tmandt · « **Reply #38 on:** March 20, 2008, 02:23:34 PM »

the only thing i like about vista is the theme and what not

Tec_ · « **Reply #39 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:36:17 PM »

ive been running vista for some time now, ive only had minor issues, like my remote for my TV tuner wont work after it comes out of sleep. the only other thing is its a ram

. mine runs at about 23% and i have 4 gigs of ram

tmandt · « **Reply #40 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:18:23 PM »

well ive had second thougts about building my computer. i just dont have the money to build it.

im 14 thats why i guess when i have a job ill come back and build my computer. my other thought was getting back into paintball. i can get a cheap and good gun for under 2 bills and everything i need. so yea i cant decide. i really need money thats why im sellin my 80gb zune and my modded wii. if yall want any info on my 2 items im sellign send me a message

pinoyballa · « **Reply #41 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:29:35 PM »

Get a summer job, you can get enough money for a decent gaming rig if you work. Ask your parents if they'll let you borrow some money and tell them you will pay them back by the end of the summer. Btw paintball gets really expensive after a while. Use of field + paint= around $50-60 per visit. Unless you play in the woods or something.

tmandt · « **Reply #42 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:18:17 PM »

i dont know where to get a summer job so yea. i live in houston tx.

i already owe my dad like 1 bill

oh and they will never let me borrow EVER

pinoyballa · « **Reply #43 on:** March 21, 2008, 04:07:17 PM »

Oh, do they have like fast food joints or anything around. Just go asking around if anyone will hire you. Even though I don't really recommend working at Mc'Donalds or something along those lines.

tmandt · « **Reply #44 on:** March 21, 2008, 06:56:15 PM »

yea i dont think they will hire me im 5 ft and 14 almost 15
