Ok, I decided that building my laptop was just too expensive. I thought originally it would allow me some upgrade ability but since it is limited to 1066 FSB cpu's and the top 1066 FSB CPU is a...

Ya, that review is what gave me the idea of trying to build my own.
Sorry but paying the premium that Alienware wants for a laptop is not my idea of smart. Plus the video card in their...

New idea:
Anybody had any experiences with building your own laptop? I thought I might try it because I can get what I want this way.
This is what I am looking at:
Asus C90S $950 (comes with a...

I think I am gonna go with a Dell Inspiron system. Found one that I like. Only problem is it is about $1800 but they do have coupons sometimes up to $750 off so just waiting for Dell to send out...

Not worth the premium. Upgrade that from that horrible ATI card to the nvidia and the price starts skyrocketing. If I was gonna spend that much I would buy another brand and get a better card like...

Ya, I goofed on the ram, was thinking the 1066 matched the FSB of the CPU while in actuality I only needed 533. Too late now because it would cost me $40 to return it and the 800 ram that is...

Well I went ahead and bought the 8500GT. It was only $100 and I figure being $100 and DX10 I can resell it on Craig's List locally for about that. Probably will be $150 at BB or CC locally. Seems...

The 7300GT is ~$50. But I was told about the Radeon X1650 which has more pipelines (12 vs 8) and is $75 with a $25 rebate. I figure I can probably in 2-3 months sell the X1650 for ~$40-50. Am also...

Ok, I updated my thing a little. Mainly I dropped my 8800GTS for now and am getting a cheapo 7300GT. It's better than my Radeon 9800 Pro (I think?). This will allow me to save a little bit of money...

What brand do you suggest that I look for that is a top notch quality but not a high price? Dell has always been best price vs quality ratio.

Pretty much never heard anything but good things about them. They are within my price range and they have a good return policy within the first 30-days. Any others that are better in the same price...

Well I am really close to buying my new system, it is really stretching my budget because I need another $200 for a 20" Widescreen LCD from Dell. In fact I may have to downgrade the video card a...

Well I took a look and noticed all the nVidia 680i chipset mb's are limited warrenties. Why? I dunno. But I like that warrenty from EVGA so not that big of a deal. Just wish it wasn't so darn...

I use Norton Systemworks as my AV with Spyware S&D, Ad-Aware and MS Defender.

I can't afford to right now. But I also am not an overclocker so that isn't a big deal to me.

Not sure why there is a limited warrenty on that board.
AMD is a possible option but right now the Core 2 Duo beats anything out from AMD by a country mile.

Thanks, will try that out. If I notice too big of a performance hit will try to find my PCI SATA controller somewhere around here.
