    Do you find it less expensive to build your own verses buying from the biggies (hp, dell, ect...)?


    Depending on what you want the machine to do, it can be a lot more expensive. I don't build gaming machines, but the one that I am building is going to run all of my movies/music/photos and all of the basic stuff that you need a computer to do. I am also going to build it to run all of my web design software and applications.

    I prefer to build them myself because I can get what I want and not have to pay for crap that I don't need.

    you're absolutely right when it comes to all the extra "stuff" you get that you don't need.  i would build one if I knew it would work.

    Re: I want to be GRaS
    PI you gonna try out Windows 7?  I will probably want to build a new machine by the time the 1st SP comes out for that.  Both my current 2 builds the Processor is already so obsolete that you can not even purchase it any where except Ebay.  And they are only 1 and 2 years old!

    I am going to wait until my father in-law tries it out before I load it on any machines.

    AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Windsor 2.8GHz - Can not get anymore

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz - I think I can actually still get this one pretty easily

    I read that W7 is going to use a whole lot less system memory then Vista does.  If this is the case then I will consider tessting it on my machine to see how efficient it is.

    Oh yeah, how do I renew my GRaS certification? Or is there just a fee? It's been a couple months



    Application fee, account setup fee, account maintenance fee, back dues, interest, service charges (ninjas aren't free), cleaning deposit, financing charge, over-the-limit fee, late fee, alternative fuels development fee, hazardous disposal fee, tax...



    Don't listen to him USMC (Nice to see you BTW)... I just flashed my boobs and they let me back in.
    actually, I just bought some falsies from the local drag queen shop and posted a pic... with Snake's eyesight fading, it wasn't hard to fool him




    Good to see you as well, what was your PSN ID so I that I can add you to my elite list of friends on my (game lacking) PS3. Just starting playing COD on XBOX again, had to take a break with the birth of our baby girl.

    Next thing you know you'll be using him for bait in a CoD game.

    Since so many of you are IT or very skilled with computers... where is a good place to find information on which processes are needed and which are unnecessary.  I ask because I have a machine that really needs a good cleaning and they don't teach us these things in the Sith Academy
