Does anyone know where I can get those CPU monitors what you see on some custom pc's, It is a LCD screen, displaying all the information about the CPU etc. Do you buy them or do you have to buy an LCD screen and get some software so it displays the CPU information?
I have tried to find them on the internet but I have had no joy.
Cheers for that mate. Still haven't got the money yet though because my dad said he will see, but I am getting a saturday job when I am 15(I turn 15 feb 1st) so if I don't get the money I am either going to buy a RS50 or build a pc but my compo money I may be getting I may use to buy my RS with.
I know what people say about RS50's but if you look after them right and treat them right they dont blow up but I am going to tune mine up so it runs abit better, this includes de restricting it, Arrow Racing Exhaust and a Malossi Big Bore 80cc Kit.
Don't know if I will get my compo money yet so I may be stuck with my boring P4 for a couple of years.
Would work out at half the price of G.Skill ones and really at 4gb of ram I don't think your really going to notice the differnce between the two....but i'm no expert *waits on JakQ*
EDIT : On parr with the swaying onto RS50 topic, they seriously don't even need de restricted, I got on one a couple of years ago that my mate just bought, fully restricted and it flew up to 60mph where it stopped at a nice 11000prm. There a bit stupid money wise though and if your going to be tuning it your really going against the "not blowing it up" part. Also a bit pointless buying one for when you turn 16, although i'm thinking it's a typo because getting a job and a motorbike doesn't sound like the average 15 year old plans. :P
I'm actually on 2gb of the Geil sticks and for that price i'm extremely happy with them.
They are expensive but I am used to having to buy motorcross bikes when I did motorcross and they cost alot, the RS50 sounds crap though with the original exhaust, it makes it sound like a scramber lol.
I see, Nah Me and my mates are all getting apirlia's and speedfights when we reach 16 lol. Me and one of my mates have been into bikes since we was big enough to ride them. I wont blow the bike up by tuning it, I take alot of care of my bikes I may not put a malossi kit on it yet, I may just de restrict it and put a Arrow Racing Exhaust on it, RS50's from what I have heard, they run better being de restricted.
Jakg, can you give me a list of parts if I was to build a quad core pc, I have been told I can have the money for one but I don't know how much I am allowed yet so could you build me on in the £600 range one in the £700 range and one in the £800 range please because I want to build a quad core but can't get my heaad around what parts will give me the best performance for the certain price range I don't know what parts to get. So if possible could you give me a list of parts so I know what to get when I build my Quad core system? If possible a list for each price range.
Cheers,
Sam.
Edit: Or can anyone else give me a list of parts for each price range?
I seen it, oh yea i left one thing out, it must also have a 8800 card, but I think nvidia are bringing a new card out if i remember rightly and plus i will be building the pc just after christmas as thats when my dad gets alot of money as he is working on christmas.
I am looking for some decent hardware at the moment.
FSX Deluxe, and another game i have cant remember the name of but it needs a decent graphics card and plus i want to build a pc what wont be to outdated within a couple of years.
a 2900 Pro is usaully faster than an 8800GTS 640, and is almost always faster than the 8800GTS 320 which is actually a little more expensive than the Pro.
I think i will stay with nvidia lol never had a ATI Card and i will stay with nvidia what I know the cards pretty well and i think they are pretty well made and very good cards.
I am thinking of getting a monitor to support HD as the 8800 supports HD but one thing is that I don't know what case to get as I want a decent case what will fit all the components in like the P5K mobo and the 8800 and got enough room to tidy the wires up and good air circulation to keep everything cool.
I think you're getting a bit specialized for a LFS forum. For finding good cases for cooling and also going into more detail about components you'd get much better and a much wider range of advice from forums that deal with that kind of stuff.
