    +1, also the Radeon 4770 isn't worth it, get something from the 5000 series (5670/5770 maybe)

    You're kidding right? that thing looks atrocious. Not to mention it looks like it would fall over at the slightest sign of a draft.

    Da specs not the actual design, although that is still okay.

    Heck, my LCD monitor has borders that are almost an inch thick. The thing is, I don't spend hours staring at the borders!

    Now, let me get this straight... an LED display is actually an LCD display with an LED backlight as opposed to fluorescent bulb backlights, except in the case of ones in stadiums where the screen is big enough for LEDs to be used as pixels?

    The HD 4770 is still worth it for the price. I wasn't aware that the HD 5670 was out. For the same price, you might as well get the HD 5670, but anything newer is absolutely unnecessary.

    Since CoolerMaster has decided that New Zealand doesn't need the CM 690 II Adv. till mid March, and I want a new case, I'm thinking about this one: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/comp...sp?partid=9001 or http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/comp...sp?partid=8556

    These are the only two cases I can find within my price range that i'd like (NZ = expensive cases, tiny range). It seems that you need to spend more money to get cases that are simple. Either case would be an upgrade - my current case is worth about $60NZD. It has no ventilation and runs hotter than an oven. Anybody know anything shitty about these cases?

    I was also planning on getting a new CPU cooler since the stock AMD one sounds like a vacuum cleaner under load. Planning on going with the one Freelancer linked somewhere: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/comp...sp?partid=9794 But since I have around 5 CM 12cm fans just lying around, i'm not sure if I want to get it without a fan and buy another set of fan clips and slap two fans I already have on it. Does anyone know how good the fan is that comes with it in terms of noise?

    The dollar isn't actually that bad, 1NZD is equiv. to around .73USD. Not bad for 4 million people. The prices are terribly inflated though, probably due to the high shipping cost of getting stuff all the way down here.

    Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    hay guiz what should I be looking out for if I wanted to build this spring? I'm primarily looking for mobo, cpu, hard drives, cooling, case and PSU. The rest can just come out of this comp, and I'll fill this one with spare parts for use as a home server. I really need a new mobo because it supports up to ddr2, only 1gb per DIMM (hence the 3.12gb in my specs), the front USB controller was fried by my old PSU, and it can't support any quad cores. It also only has one PCIE slot. I'm looking for hardware that's ready for the future so I can focus further purchases on things like ram and graphics cards only.
