New Computer or Upgrade?

[gnor]

If u upgrade, make sure your board supports SLI, because u can jumper 2 video cards together. Dual core for sure. Gigabyte LAN if u do LAN parties. Make sure your video card has native RAM built in. Some cards steal half their RAM from your motherboard. 450 to 500 Watt power supply. 350W won't cut it. Lots of cooling fans. Spend your money on the greasy parts. Stay away from lights, fish tanks, glow in the dark, etc.

The more expensive board has the ICH9R chipset which supports RAID.

u are a hardware genius

This is prob the 1st understatement of '08. Clocker is IMO a "Hardware Guru" Seriously he is also a well liked member of JG forum too. For me at least when he talks I listen.

True.

Not to mention modest

I know of one that already closed. I should check what's open near me.

just checked. closest one is the city (NYC).

Yeah the only one we have here in NYC is in Manhattan. I hope they don't go out of business. but if they do hell I'll beg borrow and steal to stock up!

You hope in vain...they're ALL going out of biz and are currently in liquidation.
I just stopped in on a whim, haven't been there in years.
Most of the prices were still absurd, even with the "discounts" they were higher than Microcenter's everyday prices and much higher than the egg's.

Oh don't get me wrong they are WAY overpriced here but if I'm in a pinch and I need something the same day I will pay a bit more to get the item. Are they really all going out of business? I might stop there tomorrow to see.

[clocker]

Are they really all going out of business?

Yup.

The "Going Out of Business" sale began in Dec. and they are history sometime in Feb., I believe.

The two near me are already selling off the store fixtures.

Maybe I'll buy a "surly cashier" and a few "brain dead sales clerks" if the price drops low enough.

LMAO u guys are too funny. I rarely find tech stuff cheaper than newegg except on black friday.

well yeah Newegg is usually the best price for loads of shit, sometimes TigerDirect beats em by a few bucks, but NE will take anything back if somethings wrong with it so I Almost always go with them.

Yup Im gonna stop in Comp USA and see whats going on tomorrow.
