My next things to buy:

New DVD burner (probably a LiteOn or NEC)

G15 (didnt have enough cash on me at the time of order)

Another 320GB Sata HDD (probably in like 3 months)

And I need a good headset also.

i dont need mic

I do... lmao

If you dont need a mic then just pick up some sony or logitech one. I've bought 2 pairs of the exact same sony headseat and have used them over 3 years each. Only complaint is that after several hours they make your ears hurt (or atleast mine because I have a huge noggin).

Headsets are damn expensive though, most are well over 50$

Banks are so fucken retarded...

I deposited 1660$ into my moms bank account. She deposited a check thats usually worth well over 500$ so their should be WAY more then the 1880$ USD that I need for my order.

I takes 3 days for the money to show up, so I placed the order yesterday morning. Today its still at step one, atlittle pissed off I go to newegg.com and do the chat help. The card keeps being declined T_T. So now theirs no way Ill have the stuff by friday.

Whats more is the bank is so retarded... they tell me theirs a 1-800 # to call on the back of the card. Theirs no such number. Its so stupid

Anyhow I guess now I'll get to order my G15 after all, but I wont have it until tuesday which pisses me off a whole WHOLE bunch.

yeah i was HELLA pissed cuz i waited since like the summer to build one right after black friday. when that time came my dad said no

Looks like it will take me a good long time now, probably not next week but the week after before I get anything. Which is REALLY goana piss me the fuck off.

Im just so mad right now its not even funny.

I'll probably just end up saying fuck you to the bank and takeing my money back out and using a cashiers check or money order.

FUCK BANKS

is it a big bank?

2005 · #163 Post by **2005** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:21 pm

No... its a retarded hick bank and im sorry I've ever dealt with it. It seems theirs a 250$ one day limit on the card which I didnt know about. Now my only option is personal/cashiers check and that will take 7-10 days to clear and Ill need to wait an additional 2-3 days for shipping. So its like teh gay I wont have it until the end of hte month now. T_T

Well at this point im going to list my entire build one last time with prices and you guys can evaluate it for me. Im going to do some extensive and final homework over the week or so on this stuff (mainly on compatibility, I've done TONS of performance research).

ewww a non-open source copy of windows

"ENERMAX EG565AX-VEFMA2.0-SLI"
if i was interested in the product i would end up memorizing this but DAMN thats a bitch of a model number

otherwise just check about the P4 12V cable length. if your PSU's cables are about the same length as mine, it SHOULD be able to plug in, but barely.. looks to be JUST long enough

lol the mobo doesnt come with very many cables..

2005 · #165 Post by **2005** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:16 pm

enough cables lmao... a sata and some IDE. what others do you need????

I will do alot of research on the mobo

and i have to go genuine on the widows... parents wont let me buy a compy without a legit windows the fucks
