i movie is the best thing on mine and apple mail.

an intel qx6850 proccesor cool.gif although i can hardly call it a computer at the moment. Just a mounted board with psu. Waiting on parts sleep.gif.
Bob-sama
Nothing. I'll figure out what's best about my new rig once I get it all together.

EDIT: I'd say a QX6850 is a waste of money--you could do just as good for a quarter the cost with a Q6600 G0. I already mounted my processor on my motherboard, and positioned my heatsink over it (to verify that it all fits). Anyways--I'm waiting on all parts highlighted in my signature. RAM, graphics, HDD, OS, and everything else (ASCeramique and the Mitsumi floppy/memory card reader aren't on the list)..

The 4GB of RAM. wub.gif

AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3ghz is probably the best thing in my computer - runs brilliantly for what I need.

I Like Pie739

Same here. Along with AMD athlon64 dual cor processor.

Fast, XP, it's great!

Yup QX6850 is a waste of money, just buy a Q6600 SLACR GO and overclock it.

Anyway I think the best thing in my computer is the graphics card, it's the most expensive thing anyway.

That it's all mine, mine, MINE!! Mwuahahaha.

The best thing about my computer is that it runs great and I don't have problems with it, unless it's an error I caused which I can then fix.

QX6850 is stupidly overclockable, people have got it up to 5ghz but with a lotta heat.

The only reason i got it was because my dad was paying for it smile.gif otherwise i wudnt have gone quad. I agree its a total waste of cash.

For my new rig, probably the 8800GTS 320MB. I'm poor, haha. tongue.gif

For my new rig--probably the Abit IP35-E.

I'm getting a desktop instead of my laptop (I can't take my laptop to school any more, and my mum wanted to take it over so I could get a desktop). wink.gif

yeah ive got 4 side case fans now 120mm and 1 120mm in the back. and 1 for CPU, 2 for PSU. and a harddrive cooler! rofl mine comp is frozen. well i could get liquid cooling.... happy.gif
Silent

Seeing you're not that experienced with computers and hardware, you're running a really high risk of completely ruining all your parts if you switch to liquid cooling. One drop of water on a component and *bang* it's dead. pfft.gif

Many fans usually ruin your case's airflow. The best way to go is to have intakes on the front, preferably top and side of your case, and 1-2 exhausts on the back. Liquid cooling also has the disadvantage of only cooling what you attach it to, which motherboards are not built on.

This, because motherboards usually have their 'hot' components around the CPU area, because it is assumed you'll use air cooling or atleast heatsinks for your processor. With liquid cooling, the motherboard is likely to get much hotter, leading to faster instability when you try to overclock.

Though LCing has it's advantages. CPU temperates can drop 20 degrees or more compared to air cooling. (depending on the air cooling you're comparing to) Plus, it's "Silent" (you still have a radiator with probably a couple of fans)

I want to go lq cool with my new rig, going to cool northbridge, vga, proccessor. still going to keep the case fans though. my case has plenty of ventalation as it is anyway. Getting your computer cool is a task most people tend to overlook.

My would be my 1.5 GB of RAM on my 4 year old Dell. tongue.gif

I use my top fan as an exhaust, hot air rises after all.

Did you work out an approximation of how it works? Most people are for positive-pressure, while many are for negative-pressure. I myself try either equal-pressure or positive-pressure. If you work it all out, an even number of fans leading outwards would be the best (factor in the power supply, if you have a large fan drawing out air).
Belisario93
the coolest thing about my computer is all the programs and stuff i have on it. i have all sorts of good stuff, and I even personalised it with different sounds for certain actions (like on an alert message it says "oops, you broke it"). I also like how i now have 1 gigabyte of ram, although theres many ppl who have way more.








Although you didnt ask this question, the thing i hate about my computer is that its a dell, meaning its operating system is microsoft good thing im getting a mac at the end of next summer (hopefully)
