Dude, you should get a dell, like whoa.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Hmm... So, you have a Dell and you love it? Or am I missing something here?
I'd sooner buy an American car than I would a Dell, which is to say never ever.
You've never seen the "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!" commercials?

Pfff, aren't you helpfull.
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
hmm how did you manage to go that much over budget? >_>
anyway if you dont mind going an extra 10$ over, take this card instead:

Crap, jman's plans fail, newegg is out of stock on the Samsung DVD Writer. Guess he should look harder at a prefab.

well i'll have to get another writer, but i'll still pass on the prefab. and it's unfortunate what happened to python, but his situation and mine are different for his "friends" forced him into building and thus began his problems. i mean i've have been outta the hardware game for some time so i don't know whats cutting edge, but i think i'll manage through some research and with the help of this thread. i intend to have a customized pc, and at the same time i'm taking advantage of the fact that guys like BOC and darkshadow know their stuff so why not ask their help. all in all i know i can learn from this experience too.
thus far i'm grateful for the suggestions i've been getting.
a little err on my part, i actually budgeted for more than i had originally stated in my initial post a few pages back.
also just made a quick change so i'm just under $700 before shipping.

jman, if you're in the us check out zipzoomfly.com. Everything = free shipping. they tend to beat out new eggs prices on 9/10 things i compare.
Also check out mwave.com. Great prices, beats Newegg half the time.

That system looks really nice, but really, that extra 10 $ for that other card i suggested won't be money ill spend.
Almost finished building my new system, looks pretty sweet i think :P
Where did you get that Lanparty sticker?
Lanparty Mobo
Oh what the hell...it must be a new thing DFI is doing then. My Ultra-D from 2005 certainly didn't come with a huge sticker like that...
upgraded last night to 2 matched 17'' dell ultrasharp LCD's, from 2 15''s (1 emachine , 1 hp)
This was such a drastic improvement, maybe somewhat due to being straight DVI input and not analog to DVi adapted. Pictures posted later.
Meanwhile... my core2 custom build sits in my room collecting dust... e4400 @ 2.5ghz, 2gb patriot xtreme @400-433, 36gb raptor boot drive... if i have time over the weekend i'm going to get some sata cables and configure 750gb-1tb raid w\ 36gb raptor boot drive and use it as NAS / file server w\ 2008 server.
Is that the subwoofer under your PC? You know what's in a subwoofer right? You know what those do to harddrives, right?Almost finished building my new system, looks pretty sweet i think :P

How can you tell it's a subwoofer? The noise level of that picture is simply so epic it could be anything. Like a table or a shelf (aren't there some papers jutting out of it on the right?).
Let's suppose I want to build a very very quiet multimedia PC, with enough power under the hood for playing a game like GTR2.
What would be the best options available, I can build everything from scratch.
Thanks a lot.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Can't really help you here since noise control has never been a concern of mine when building PCs.
Start here for quiet parts: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l1/g33/Ultra_Quiet.html
You should consider a ready-made watercooler kit that cools the CPU, chipsets, and the videocard. You can get decent cpm flow fans that are pretty quiet.
Otherwise, it's the usual.
I can't, that's why I'm asking. But I've seen enough PC setups where they put the subwoofer next to the PC case to wonder if that's the situation here.

For quiet, you need low speed fans. 120mm 800 RPM fans should do the trick. You'll also need a case that will allow you to install a lot of these fans, because a bunch of low speed fans is much quieter than a few high speed fans. Antec 900 comes to mind.
You'll also need a very good CPU cooler, which negates the need for a high speed fan on the CPU. Heatsinks like Ultra-120 Extreme, Ultima-90, Scythe Ninja and Scythe Infinity come to mind when you're talking about quiet. Zalman 9500 and 9700 are also quiet coolers, but they're quiet expensive and not worth the money, especially when you can get a Ultra-120 Extreme plus a good fan for cheaper.
You'll also need a third party cooler on the video card unless you're getting Radeon 3850 or 3870, which come with very quiet coolers. Zalman VF900 and all the Thermalright coolers will do the job.
