I'm building a few computers around christmas to sell for money, hopefully making it a thing. I know pretty much all the components I want for them, I'll be going with a 6790/6850 most likely, depends on the prices at the times, my main concern is processor, bulldozer will be out by then but [i]assuming[/i] they don't offer anything new in the budget market (large assumption) I'm not clear on whether to get an i3 2100 or an X4 955. The i3 2100 outperforms the X4 955 in pretty much every regard, but I have no idea how far I can get a 955 on a budget cooler like a 212 Evo and if it would out perform the i3. Also, for selling it the X4 has more buzz words like "Quad core" and a larger clock speed.
Overclock the phenom by like 50MHZ and say it's overclocked quad core clock speed x number of cores That'll make the illiterate 12 year olds buy it.

So CIPWTTKT, I'm getting a 2TB hard drive that I'll be using with my first server. Any suggestions on what I should use it for? (Besides porn?)

[QUOTE=kaine123;32591057]So CIPWTTKT, I'm getting a 2TB hard drive that I'll be using with my first server. Any suggestions on what I should use it for? (Besides porn?)[/QUOTE] More porn. Also, put some movies on it.
I plan to go with something like this so far: [img]http://puu.sh/6pZi[/img] Which will comfortably play BF3 on medium/high and I can advertise as such, although I'm being silly even thinking about it right now with the 7000 series and bulldozer scheduled to release before christmas.

Maybe add better PSU.

Maybe aim for an i5 instead
The i3 is better than a stock X4 for pretty much everything, I'm building a few of these to sell, probably going to market them at £500 (£430 for components themselves and £70 for building/shipping and cabling) and that power supply is more than fine, in-fact it's a little bit overkill but the others below it are terrible, just waiting for bulldozer and HD7000 to see what changes come christmas. Also keep in mind these are not supposed to be upgradeable and reflect that, hence mATX/400w power supply.
I think my netbook's wireless card is dying or something, every network it connects to nowadays boots it off once every 5 minutes or so and won't work unless you reconnect but no other wirelessly connected computer has a problem Fucking hell, brb finding drivers to see if that's the problem because this is REALLY pissing me off

The others are somewhat more stable, but block everything but HTTP, require some exotic form of authentication, and/or just generally slow as hell.
So I was looking at some specs and stuff, and came across this [img]http://peecee.dk/uploads/102011/Capture.PNG[/img] Stupid awfulvision :v:

There is an update to stop it doing that.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;32589745][i]My opinion is law and anyone who disagrees is a blind sheep and a fanboy!!![/i] Man taking the lowest road possible using the fanboy card is such a great cop out when you don't feel like putting forth a decent argument. Lastly, as much as I disagree with wingless at least he put forth the effort to make a proper argument. Rate dumb, ignore comment, repeat, good job!!![/QUOTE] Well you would have to agree if they took one thing from Battlefield 2 it would have to be the squad system because BF3's absolutely sucks.

AwfulVision doesn't even work anymore for me. It just stopped working one day and no matter what I do, I can't get it to work.

Welp, Steam keeps crashing when I try to enter group chat.

But as to what form it will take we don't quite know yet.

Even if I leave then come back 5 minutes later. also ftfy.
