One more thing, I plan on hooking these Logitech 5.1 Z-640's up. Is that possible on the Aopen? I'm not quite sure...

Originally posted by VidmanII AOpen products have traditionally been very stable and user friendly. Here's a review of the AK79D-400 Max....... http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1439&page=1 From what I see the major differences are that the Aopen only goes to up 1.85v Vcore, 2.8v...

Which is the better board here? I'm leaning toward the Abit board. Everything I read has been positive. I don't know much about Aopen or their products though. Both are about the same price.

Any thoughts?


Thanks.


Edit: Dug up a little info on Aopen. Click.

I would have to say Power Supply. A video card would seem to be more difficult to develop and manufacture and when you consider all the games they allow you to play (How much is a Gamecube, PS2, X-Box? Yeah.) and the features they have packed in them. It seems like a bargin when you can pick up a qu...

Foxconn is okay, but doesn't compare to Antec (about the same as Allied). Directron.com is probably one of the best places to order a case from. Most of their cases include a PSU and you can usually upgrade to a better one for a reasonable price. It think this is the same case you're looking at: ht...

I know Leadtek and Asus make a TV/Radio cards that fit in a PCI slot for around $50 or so. I don't know of any that fit the 3.5 bays though.

Originally posted by FlyingPenguin Enermax are okay unless you have an Epox board. I've heard that Epox boards don't like them. Frankly a PSU is not something to skimp on. If you never want voltage problems, get a good one. Otherwise it may fail you, damage your mobo, or just cause intermittent err...

Whoa, I was thinking of switching over from the Gigabyte GA-7N400-L1 board to the Abit NF7-S ver.2.0 after reading up on it last night. It seemed to have a lot of nice features and was reasonably priced considering all the extras. The Asus Deluxe was much more expensive. Both have UGLY PCB boards th...

The Allied PSU was $40 or so at the local Computer shop, Newegg has it for around $30. Originally I was looking at the Antec True Power 430w which was $80. Everyone tells me Antec is quality, so that is what I went for at first. These PSU's seem so overpriced though. I saw an Energymax(sp?) 430w PSU...

Allied 420w PSU w/2 fans, any good?

Hey guys, I was looking around for a good PC case and saw this Raidmax Scorpio while shopping around. I was thinking of getting an Antec Plusview 1000AMG tower and a Antec 400w PSU. Together the 1000AMG case and psu was a little over $120 (round figures, probably more with S&H). A nice combo I t...

Naw, nobody is selling me any chips. Just wanted to see what the genreal consensus was. My cousin suggested the P4 @2.4 and another friend suggested the 3000Xp. At a $150 difference, I wanted a 3rd opinion (or five or six!). These are also the type of guys who only buy the latest/fastest video cards...

Originally posted by DoPeY5007 ok that guy who said that a 1.8ghz is "Junk" doesn't know anything. You will be fine with the 2500+ ( I have it ) and you really wouldnt see much dif with the 3000+ to the 2500+ ( when encoding something you may ) I have OC'd mine a lil, but brought it back ...

Ok, so I'm planning on building a new computer , started out at first with a 2500XP chip then bumped it up to 2800XP for a little more power. But reconsidered and brought it back down to 2500XP after I was told by a few people the increase wasn't that great and not worth the price. Talking to a comp...
