ok so project: Xero is underway and i am a bit confuse what to do, some of you guys might remember when i plan to buy the hp blackbird lci 002, anyhow i did not cause looking back at it, seems like a waste even tho it was liquid cool and i was tempted to buy it, some how i didnt , i review the specs of the blackbird and to tell you the truth it was a rip off, plus building it myself would save me some funds, anyhow i am now over that. so its 2008 now, new tech out and i am confuse what to do, i plan to build it my self this time now i am thinking about water or air cooled.
what to do?
1 first i have never work with a water cooled rig before
2, i am skeptic, what if i install it wrong, water everywhere rig mash up, money
gone,
3 it it 100% fail safe?
where i live now which is in Ontario, and my area doesn't have a lot of tech shops, and the hand full that exist don't have bareback components, mostly pre build and full setup etc. so i have to shop via online
i am lost again
1, i have never shop online
2, i dont trust buying things over the net
3, i fear my financial might gets compromise
gonna go to tha bank and get a credit / debit card btw which is better?
so i have been checking out these site
i see Maxfactor1 and Fortis4eva buy from but i cant seems to find the mobo i want on any of them NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Intel now i seek else where but i dont know how they operate so i seek your advice?http://www.tigerdirect.com, http://www.newegg.com and frys.com
Project: Xero
Motherboard = NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Intel (gonna see what kind of fan i get with the board, if it aint good i might try the
zalman
Memory = DDR2 1200 sli epp (brand dosent matter yet, gotta check more on this)
Cpu = Intel Quad q6600 (or q6700 if price drop no way am paying
$500 + for a cpu)
Power supply = 500 or more
case = still working it, haven't find my liking yet
PS. i spoke with bl@ze and he says to stick with Air cooled since i am not seriously doing any major overclocking, thinking about it might just do that then.
your help is greatly appreciated
