RB2002 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 don't need the space i'm only using this comp for games (i only load 2 to 3 games at a time) i'm doing another build for multimedia stuff and push comes to shove i won't use more than 10 to 15gbs of space on this comp for multimedia so the 80gb will be fine (actually more than enough space).

RB2002 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 as far as the montor goes i was thinking about going to a bigger 19" lcd but for the gaming comp its not as important (to me at least i'm currently using a 17" CRT and i've read reviews on numerous LCD of people switching from larger CRTs (some as big as 21") and liking the smaller LCDs way better). i am planning on buying a larger moniter later on for the multimedia build.

nSaNe Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 i can vouch that that PSU is a really really good one.. even with my stuff @ over 3.0ghz and my video card clocked high. w/ 3.5volts to the ram.. the rails never budge. totally solid.. now since ive owned this one.. i would never goto another kind.

RB2002 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Awsome i have heard many good thinks about them and OCZ in general around here lol everyone has talked me out of the thermaltake dual 12v i was gonna get. but as you read post you notice the vast majority of everyone around here has an OCZ psu so i figure they have to be one of the top 5 psus for running an SLI rig. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
