NEWEGG FTW. all the stuff I've bought from them I have gotten above average customer service on. Defiantely the best thing you could do there.

Samething here, I never recieved any items DOA... everything worked perfectly and top notch... there you have a choice of carriers... UPS/FedEx.. and usually they are the cheapest around.. even with shipping (as compared to local retail shops) plus their shipping isn't insane for a 2lb package lol, unlike eBay's users lol.

JPAC 412Black Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811217019)
$65.98

only reason i went ebay for the case is cause neweggs has the gay tribal sign and no extra fan or top window +$12

Then buythe components through newegg and the case with ebay... chances are the case will be functional when you get it lol, unlike electronic parts that can be DOA and no refunds.

Case is tight.. Pretty good Mobo too.

stupid question.... I have a p4 1.6 but I wanna updgrade to lets say a P4 2.8...how would I go about doing that? I know I need to find out what socket and all that but how?

[HeyY0]

the motherboard doesnt have a connection for the monitor. the video card does but i'm guessing u need to install the cd for the vid card b4 it can work. wat do i do
