Surely you are a member of atomicmpc.com/forums ?
The only PC Hardware forum I'm an anywhere near active member of is www.overclockers.com.au
I research a lot of hardware before buying, I've been burnt too many times.
I was close.
I used to be a hardware junkie and used atomicmpc for my info fix.
Never spent much time at OCAU apart from browsing pics of case mods.
I think I've been visiting OCAU not long after they went up. But I hard participate in forums much except here. I just don't usually have much to say.
Gonna be getting some new hardware tomorrow for my New Media PC.
SilverStone LC16B-MR Black Case
Corsair VX-450 450W Power Supply
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Motherboard
Intel E8400 Core2Duo CPU
Team Xtreem Dark 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 1066
ASUS Nvidia 9500GT 512MB VGA CArd OC
Then I will have to wait a short while for more funds to accumulate to get the rest which is:
Thermalright Ultima 90I Heatsink (that is if it fits, gonna measure beforehand)
Assorted Noctua 80mm & 92mm fans to put through the case for quietness
LG GGC-H20L-OEM Blu-Ray & HD DVD Combo Drive
Hauppauge HVR2200 MCE PCIe Dual Hybrid HDTV Tuner
Logitech DiNovo Mini Palm Sized Keyboard
Going to hook all this up to my new Panasonic 50" full HD plasma using HDMI
