jsgolfman Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Then I would go with this. It's about the best you can do for $350 and ATI and PCI xpress, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...1476861&CatId=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[COD]Big_Balls Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well I was thinking about getting back into gaming and video work for passing the time when I am stuck in the house. That is one hell of a card but I did not see were it said that it could be used with a 300 watt power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Oh, didn't see the PArt about your psu, thats gotta go. Pick up a better psu or you wont be able to run any PCIe card, at least not well. I have been real happy with my Enermax 460w I got from Tigerdirect. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...69932&CatId=106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well if I get that PSU then I have to take away $85 or more to get the Game card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I am still waiting to find out what you bought! JERK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have not bought anything yet cause of the cost of upgrading my power supply to run a better gaphics card. so as soon as I upgrade my power supply and card I will email you so you will be the first too know. And name calling is not the way to impress me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruceleeon Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well... how do you like it? RB liked the sonata... I think it is a decent case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah, its a good case. Who made the psu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 It is a smart power 2.0 by ATX12V. I am going to put it together tonight. But the one I did for my brother-in-law It went together Very easly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817103936 Good PSU. Let us know if you have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 It went together really easly The only problem I had was putting the board from My other computer in this case with no manual. Other than that it went together really nice. I had a little problem trying too hook up powerLED to the moby with the hookups that came with the case. I have a 120mm fan in the back and an 80mm fan that blows right on my prossesor and the 2 fans on the PSU, I dont think that I will have any cooling issues.

Rbreb13 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well... how do you like it? RB liked the sonata...

Bruceleeon Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 What exactly are the differences between the sonata and the II. I thought the only differences were the included psu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I like mine it is soo quite I cant even tell it is running. I have two 80mm fans running on it with one of the fans in the snorkle right over my prossesor. and the dang thing doesnt get any hotter than 72 degrees.

[COD]Big_Balls Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 My bad read the wrong section it was 58 degrees with a 72 degree alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVA Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well if you haven't got a video card yet http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102022 is a good card for the price since you spent some of you funds on the psu.
