new budget case

[deepfried]

right, ive come into a problem recently that is all too familiarwith a lot of you guystoo probly.

ive run out of money(due to buying myslef an xp 2800+) and ive had to be an ebuyer super value case.

i really dont know whether to buy myself a windowkit and newside panels, or to simply save and get a nive readdy windowed case.

modding the current case would be more fun, but perhaps i should shell out the long term cash for a quality case?

heres a link to case im getting to help you decide what i should do, any sensable advice is very welcome http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=63769

[Dav0s]

That's not to shabby at all for the price! Beware though, u get what u pay for... My demon case looked a lot more badass in the pictures before I bought it and when I got it it looked, felt, and worked like a $20 case.

Now my Lian Li is a different story It looks, feels, and works like the $200 case that it is, hehe. :yumyum:

lol, ok, but i think deepfried has a budgit! and that one i posted is WEL worth the money, the only reason i dint get it, was cos i wanted a black one

Rgr that! My entire computer was a budget system at one point... let me remind u all of the specs, lol....

3000+ Super Winnie

EPoX 9NDA3+ nF3 mobo

Leadtek 6800GT

OCZ Rev. 2 Plat

Thermaltake TR2 HSF (omfg so shitty!)

Xoxide Demon case (biggest pos!!!)

Single 74gb Raptor

$20 no name PSU

Now that's ghetto! I got that comp up to a healthy Intel whooping 2.8ghz though (after I got my XP-90 ) lol

 

[ionicle_old]

wow lol i will be gettin a 6600GT and a mobo that has a nforce 3 chipset, that is when i can aford them

 

[FragTek]

wow lol i will be gettin a 6600GT and a mobo that has a nforce 3 chipset, that is when i can aford them

That will be a good combo sir! The DFI LANParty nF3 socket 939 mobo will be out soon and that should be where u are looking

 

[Dav0s]

if i were ionicle, on his budget he may ahve to make do with 754 for now. unless he saves up big time and does it all in one massive upgrade.

 

[ionicle_old]

i get £10 a week maybe £11 at a push! and maybe a loan of my granparents when it is necesery! so i aint got money, atleast not money to chuck away!

 

[deepfried]

sorry it took me so long to reply to my own thread, but america on fire lost its connection again.

anyway, thanks for that winodw kit auvton dave ill consior it, al things thouhgt through i may as well mod the cheap case over time, seeing as i was planning to get a new pair of case sides anyway. firt thing im doing is getting a respray to silver and a window kit to show off the big heatsink im getting, whilst im on that, can anyone reccomend somewhere to get asus suppost other than asus global, as ive tried the site a plethora of times nowand all i get is either maintenance warnings or server overloads.

 

[Dav0s]

yeah that window kit would make a great mod.

whydo u need asus support?

 

[deepfried]

ive got an a7n8x-vm/400 and it needs flashing to the newest bios asap but themain page never works

 

[Dav0s]

the main page??

BIOS?

 

[deepfried]

sorry i should have explained more thoroughly there, i need to flash the bios on my asus mobo, and only the official asus page seems to have the file i need...at the mo the asus page is playing up, same as it always seems to be, and if anybody can find a site that provides the bios updates through some sort of mirror thatd help, although i cant find an alternative download location myself

 

[Dav0s]

why do you need to flash??

 

[Dav0s]

and i found version 1007 if that is what you need??
