That's why I recommend you to find the as many answer you can, using Google.
Will definitely help you a lot.
What particular answer you're looking.
There are lots of sites doing reviews, and give their personal expression. They're also experts.

It's hard if you ask in term of performance and price.
Thermaltake is cheaper than other cooler solution. But if you see the trend here in lyn (see their sig or review), it's hard to find anyone using Thermaltake product. So, you get a point, right?

It's also depends on your liking. You like the design or not?. Suit for you?. Prefer less noise or cooling performance (dont care much about noise) ? Within your budget?

If I'm not mistaken, TT V1 price at RM220. If you spend a bit, maybe 240-280, you might get Thermalright. Many good reviews and recommendation for the unit. You can have your own fan based on your liking. There is also Xigmatek, and many more.
All depends on you.

I'll take 2 x 500GB if it is cheaper (not so much different in price) than 750GB. Simple reason. If fail, only either one fail.

bout the HDD, is the any diff if i buy 500GB 16MB SATA2 or 500GB 32MB SATA2.

Yep, there is difference. 32MB sata2 is suppose to allow for shorter time in retrieving data from the HD, compared to 16MB.
In practical, I'm not sure. It's very hard to judge.

If you want to use large HD, like 500GB, you must accept that, the HD, might take long time retrieve date (by saying long, not too long that, it is easily noticeable). That's why there are difference cache. ie 32MB and 16MB to help for faster time.

If both do not different much in term of price, then why not go for the best. If talking about processor of GC, then only it's worth talking about best performance relative to price. Then, certainly the best performance, doesnt mean the best for everything. Must look also the price, cause the price and performance of proc / GC different a lot.

Just my view.

if u wan pure speed, WD 640 is one of the best around.its well known in overseas tht dis HDD is fast although wif only 16MB cache. if u wan pure capacity,den by all means, 2X 500GB seagate.seagate has 5 years warranty. WD only 3 years if i not mistaken. i also forgotten.

actually hyper 212 is a very good cooler already.no point to change to maxorb if i were u.if u ask me, i prefer hyper 212.maxorb is blowing down type of cooler.nowadays tower series coolers are better.somemore hyper 212's fan is rated at 90cfm wif 2k rpm.oh yea, do u noe tht ur hyper 212 has an option of adding a 2nd fan?? when u buy hyper 212, it gives u a 2nd fan bracket, not installed by default only.ownself install.corsair dominator ram cooler is just sit on top of ur 4 ram slots only rite.shudn't be a problem wat.

the cooler master website states tht ur CM hyper 212's fan is doing 69.69 cfm but then if u look at this thread. it says its doing 90 cfm.someone selling dis fan http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/725402

BENQ G900W 19" LCD 1440x900 5ms

buying online, Dell is better, when claiming warranty you can call them to come too.

DELL -after sale service-

guys im somehow confuse, compare dis 2, which graphic card is better,
8800gt or 9600 gt?

if not talking about modding/overclocking, 8800GT win.

sori if this question had been asked before...
it is true that SLi is not so powerful. i mean if u know the right mobo and the right GPU, u can beat a rig with SLi? (wen playing game la usually u can c) wat about CrossFire? it's same with SLi?

Greetings all,

I'm looking to get a new rig and have come down with the following list after some googling.

Intel Q6600
Asus P5K-EPU (Gigabyte seems to be a more desirable brand for mobo?)
Team Xtreme 4-4-10 1GBx4 (multitask whore; is it over the top?)
Zotac Nvidia 9600 512MB (should I go ATi gpu for the crossfire in the Asus board?)
Seagate 500GB 32MB
Samsung LCD 22"
DVD-Writer (Prolly Pioneer)
CoolerMaster Casing (thinking of CM690)
400/450watt PSU (recommend a brand?)

Would appreciate any input in my choice of selections, be it suggestions or critics.

Thanks.

p/s: Those with PC bundle offer for the above set please PM me with your best price & recommendation should you have any.
