Ahh I see, thanks for the clarification. Minecrafter shoot him with your build.

Eh why don't you recommend him?Nervous?
I always get that feeling the early days i recommend people..since my knowledge at that time is average-ish..

Nah, not my kind of stuff. I am lazy der, need to check the price everytime. I dunno why I haven't download the PDF yet. Since he's gonna double boot, you think a Xeon would do good?

You can't use Mac OS since it's only available for Macbooks and iMacs.
You can use Linux and Windows though.But i've no idea on how to switch OSs..

I can remember around 85% of the stuffs i recommend price's..
Once you start recommending a lot more,you'll get used to it.. The early days for me,everytime wanna recommend *opens up hardwarezone pricelists*.

Double Boot?Using Linux and Windows at the same time or Linux then can change to Windows vice versa?

Yup. My boss is using a crack version of Windows 7 Ultimate in his Macbook Air in dual boot mode with the Mac OS. So anytime I need to do things using Windows I just slide the touchpad and I go from Mac to Windows screen.

And rajin nyer taikor suggestion thread ni.

Just slide the touchpad?!Man,i didn't know about that haha..

Yeah lol. Mac has Damn nice dual boot mode for laptops. Not sure about PCs though. Prolly just needs a push of a button.

If i were your dad and you fail exam I would scold you for remembering PC prices more
Than your sejarah/science/math homework.

The heck. Zgames also 16 only. Walao eh suggestion thread so many young guys. I also feel old like hell now.

Press the button with Windows logo and slide to right/left?

PC Hardware history anyone?

This is turning more and more into a Rig Suggestions Thread and a bit of a chit-chat haha.

Okay better stop now before mods kick our collective butts.

Not sure. Better do more research on dual boot Windows PCs.

I'm 3 years younger..

Hi guys

am planning to build a rig soon and am still surveying the prices around. I usually buy my parts from Viewnet and have them assemble it

Would you guys recommend going to places like IdealTech or Cyntrix Technologies (in terms of pricing / service ) or would I be better off getting the parts and having them assembled from Viewnet/All-IT etc ?

thanks guys

Pricing more or less the same..but shops like IdealTech have good service...
Even IdealTech does better Cable Management than those shops in Lowyat Plaza..

No problem on sharing what I know, we all learn from each other anyway.

Prices in LYP are almost the same irrespective of where you go ... to me the differentiating factor is service and support. All of the shops take from the same distributors, and the prices are very much controlled at that point. The shop I go to is Cycom.

To me HDDs are about the same, I have used all brands, and all are about the same in performance and reliability at this time. I think WD is easier to find, compared to SG, and you have more choices. If you can find Hitachi, then that could be a good choice, as there are reports that show Hitachi to be more reliable in a cloud storage environment.

Thanks Minecrafter

ah ok..will ask them for a quotation soon regarding the rig I'd like to have.

yup, I didnt know about cable management too, hence the messy cable management in my current pc. Thanks !
