I dont know what I am doing... ^_^

[MitaPi]

Okay! Time to do this right! (or at least a lil bit better) So this is how its going down y'all. :P I need some advice on how to make this pos system that I am building seem... a lil bit jazzier. In other words if anyone has some idea's or advice that could help make my system seem more desireable or one of a kind. (Just as long as its not alot of work, cuz I aint no handy man you know! lol) But yea... any and all advice and idea's are much appreciated! Thanks again for listening to this super noob! Hope I get a few replys! lol

Love and Peace smells like old cereal.

Geesh! I need to take a english class or something! lol I mean that up there is just horrible! I used to be good at this stuff... hmm.. maybe I just have to wait awhile before my brain kicks into gear? lol

i would change the cpu heatsink to a artic freezer 7 pro as there quiter and offer suberb cooling for intel chips even better than some watercooling kits for not very much money

[MitaPi]

Does anyone have any idea's for making my case more... how do you say... original? But without going overboard with cash. (or work for that matter.) I'm not what you would call a handy man. (aka defyant, AMAZING! :P) But just something simple and cost efficient that would help put my computer out on the market a lil better. Thanks again for all your guy's time! Most appreciated!

nice mobo :) (one that i'm getting) all the parts but the RAM look quite good, I dont like thet companies RAM very much :p. If u want 1gig it will improve performance to get a 1gig stick, although if performance isnt a huge issue i wouldnt shell out the extra 20 bucks or so

[MitaPi]

Yea, Im not looking for performance. My computer as of now with 1.5gigs performs just how I want it to. But having 2 256's with heat spreaders on them seems a bit silly. So does with 2 512's but at least they are not 256's. And I want 4 sticks unless I upgrade to four 1 gigs. Which I dont have the money to do and I personally believe that having anything more than 2 gigs for what my computer is made to do would just work against me and not with me. That might be an urban myth though. Anyways... that was a bit dragged out wasnt it? lol I could of just said I want four 512's with a 2 tone heat spreader job for looks. :P I'm glad someone liked my mobo! lol I thought it was pretty rawkin myself. I just wanted a cheap SLI ready board to go with my new SLI ready video card and SLI ready Power supply. So does anyone else have anything to add? It would be much appreciated! (like always) Oh and one more thing before I head off to bed here. My power supply is SLI ready but its not modular. Is that a good thing or bad? Does modular make or break a computer or is it just one of those things that nice to have but it really doesnt matter? Thanks again! Night night!

if you want it to be more unique, you could maybe try something that you can't buy on the market, like wiring LED's behind the door so that it's lit to the color of your choice or something

=D

[MitaPi]

Hey thats a pretty good idea! lol how do I wire LEDs behind the door tho? Im am super new to this! lol thanks so much for that idea tho! GREAT! what else do you have peeps? I'm open to them! ttfn!
