I was looking into the Zalman cooling units, but I read some reviews on them and all I read was sub-standard manufacturing and poor quality.
Antec also makes a 650 watt version of the same power supply, but it is $30 more and figured it would be overkill.
The mother board is also not the one I want, but it is the only one that they had in stock that kinda fit my requirments (although it was pretty high). I am looking into getting a eVGA motherboard that is built for the nvidia system. It runs about 180-200 if they are ever in stock.
And I need the 1 TB of space, I currently have 800 gigs of external HD's FULL, and 240 gigs on this computer that is full to the top. I will fill the drives pretty fast. 1 is for games and installed programs and such. The other for files like movies and TV shows. I sold my TV a while ago because I am going to be moving around lots and did not want to lug around a 50inch TV, so my computer is going to be my TV. I will download massive amounts of TV shows on it and watch them, so the 500 gigs sounds about right to me.
The site I am doing this from is
www.memoryexpress.com they are a local computer store and are by far the best in the area.
I know x32 only has 3.2 gigs of ram at the most. But thats fine with me, the extra ram will more than be taken up by shitty vista or the 64 bit version. I have heard of stability issues with 64 bit. I also already own XP 32 so thats what I am sticking with.
As far as me, I took Petroleum Engineering Technologies and got a job with Baker Petrolite (a division of Baker Hughes). Its a job involving wellsite chemicals to treat well problems (scale, ashphaltine, emulsion, corrosion). The reason for me not getting the computer right away is because I will not be settled into a permanent location until August, all June and July I will be moving around the province, a week at each location.
