Whats better?

[TheSilentAssassin]

Just wondering...

the EVGA 512MB 8800 GTS

or

the EVGA 512 8800 GT?

[CarbonFire]

Whichever is cheaper

Both perform extremely well, so I'd just take the cheaper of the two. Supposedly the new GTS will be better, not sure by how much though. The GT is an awesome card in its own right though, so I'd say let price guide you

Just curious...god knows I don't even have enough money right now to even buy a sound card...couple of years, and I WILL have the ultimate gaming computer...

Mod what? I don't have any more room...
See for yourself... I had to stick the extra cords from the PSU in that empty CD-ROM area because I only have the one CD-Drive and thats it...

Not much room for anything...


Thermotake power supply 500 Watts



BFG 640MB 8800GTS Graphics Card


The only area that could be expanded or modded is the area for the hard drives...as you can see I only have one...


Current Specs...

Dell XPS 410
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 (2.13 GHz, 1066FSB) w/ 2MB Cache (5.75 GHz)
Thermaltake TR2-500 watts PSU

one of my technology teachers builds a computer every year with money from the school, last year he took an old dell case, and put insane hardware inside of it, it rivaled most supercomputers xD

kyler! modding as in improving the looks of the case!

paint the case! cut a window into the side panel! add some LEDs with the window!

Don't have the time or interest to do so...
Maybe once I get a better computer in a couple of years...

ok, even though you dont care for the bling factor:

you dont need an awesome computer to do an awesome case mod. i mean, darth nevus' ghetto Cd player /thing that he posted a while back, while being a total case mod (as opposed to using something already a computer case) is example.

Tell your dad to Build you a new ring is 1 option

My Dad would have none of it. The words "new" amd "computer" put together and I would have to (take cover). The word "computer" and "upgrade", and I would have to
My Dad does not even allow this type of discussion, because the answer is always NO. Sigh...once I get a credit card, maybe in a couple of years...at least once the 9800 series comes out.
