DiaboliK Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) mobo is good i run one. all but sleep works. overclocks easily. the acer monitor is alright, stand is a bit crappy it shakes. dvd drive is nice and quite, i have 3. (shows apple shipped and supported). graphics card - good for the price should work fine with natit of titan processor - dunno i havent used a pentium d. c2d 1.8ghz is about the same price. Case - too blinging for me. i like minimalistic. no lights. windows, extra unneeded {censored}. but hey its your pref.

bofors Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 core 2 duo? This is what you want for serious overclocking: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819117103 ... otherwise this is certainly worth 99 cents over the E6300: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819117102 The "Xeon" branded Conroes are of higher quality and overclock better. This is a much better graphics card for a little more cash: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143049 You not going to be able to overclock all the way with that ASUS P5LD2-VM R2.0, you might want to want until Tuesday to see if Apple releases a Mac with the 965 chipset. That Patriot RAM is probably OK, but you could probably do better by spending $10 or so more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bofors Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 There seem to be a lot of 19" widescreens (1440 x 900) in your price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....;SubCategory=20 I would certainly go with one on those over the 17" you picked out. But because these panels should be expected to last for well over five years, not to mention that this is in fact what you are constanting looking at, this is perhaps the last place you want to skimp. So going with a quality brand like Samsung is recommended. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824001088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I agree with bofors, and no matter what your choice, I would look at 5ms or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) yep the 7600GT beats the 7300 easily take it, but NOT a 512mb version take 256mb unless you have plenty of time (weeks) to get it to work with osx Edited January 6, 2007 by wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
