Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

Makes me want to shit my pants :p

I have a G7 x)

still need to decide, i was thinking of the logitech one with the light up keys :D

and I also do have G11 :) (light up keys r leet)

G15 is the one with the pad screen thingie that can show you info, though I don't know can you kick an msn convo into it, but I think it atleast works with games like that it shows ammo etc.

Find something that is… Whatever that word is, contours to your body. You might also look into something called a frogpad, its really 1337.

@ the "shitting my pants" part, is that good or bad?

Good, the processor r teh to be afraid of :)

thanks :D i found it odd though how that one was cheaper than the e6850 since that one had 4mb l2 cache where as this one has 6mb l2 cache and better specs :S and newer :D also thanks for the tip of the g11, after reading some reviews i've found out that the g15 was recently re-designed and its basically shit now, so g11 is what im going to get :D

me having exams this week and before this week I just never had enough time but now that my exams are over (which I aced :D :D :D )

I think I failed mine :( didn't even study tbh… /fail

Nice comp btw :D

Whoah…since when are the 3 ghz c2d's that cheap? /me must see if they're that cheap on tigerdirect (yuck) since he's got giftcards for it that he'll never use.

Nice pc, only thing I don't like is the mobo.

Go for a 1tb hd :p

lol i barely use 50 gigs :P i might upgrade the mobo and im buying that processor from newegg.com

Are the Wolfdales already in the shops?

Long sig much t3hl33tn00b?

yeah i've read that apparently the wolfdales overclock up to 4.2ghz stabily and cool :D

$170 for a power supply? you could easily get one for half that price

Yah, hes right. I've seen some for 50$ and rly good ones for like max 150. But im aus so idk, maybe differ :S

yea, i just remembered when we got my mates comp, we got a decent case which came with a power supply already for like $70..i also live in australia though

i dont mind paying extra for that powersupply, newegg has really great customer service and alot of the reviews for the psu were really good. i think im going to get a Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive for hdd

Why not just get a $50 PSU and spend the extra $120 on getting a bigger hard drive or more ram? or one of these http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&cl=au,en, and these http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3053&cl=au,en

i've already got too much ram (4gb and xp only does like 3.5) :P but i'll look at it later, thanks :D

also i heard the g15 breaks easily (the new model) and the g9 is too small for my hand l0l

Don't get Core 2 Duo, get the new Core 2 Quad, it's 2.2 GHz, but Quad-Core. ($225)

i'd rather have 2 fast cores for gaming than 4 slow cores, plus most new stuff only uses two cores anyways

Over clocking it would be nasty I would think.

do you mean nasty as in good or bad? and i updated the list and put cheaper stuff on there

Good way. Sorry bad habit.

thanks lol :D
