Last week I ordered This, but with an SSD & 1 TB HDD. Now, I ask, is this a good build? I asked my buddy, and he said it was good (not the greatest, but good enough), and well-rounded.
Oh, and, with current conversion rate, it will total at 1060 USD. I will assemble it myself.

Tell that to my sisters computer, and my cousins desktop and his friends desktop. They all refuse to accept 4 X4

regardless, I got ultimate
That would be a problem with the Motherboard, not the OS. While it is true that certain OS's and bit types do prevent that much RAM (like 32-bit OS's), my desktop recognizes my 16GB of RAM on Windows Home Premium 64-bit.

The likely hood of a fault on all 3 is unlikely, but i reread the Release .pdf
( didn't know windows sever could handle 2 tb of memory )
It states 16

Depends on how you customized it, it doesn't show me your customization.

For the conversion price, you're completely over paying. That's a really bad price for everything. That is, if the USD price you gave me is right.

Doesn't that decrease performance on your 670?

Now that you mention it, I checked, and it looks like they do add a bit to every piece, from 1-10 USD more per piece, compared to other shops. I, nor my more computer-knowledgeable friend noticed, since it was a bundle. :(
I hope I can still cancel the order. . . . .
Thank you. They have yet to send it, since one piece was missing in stock, so I'm hopeful.

Because why spend the extra couple hundred dollars when you'd get along just fine with an i5, 670, and Home Premium


Also home premium can only handle a 12 gig ram hop

I have 16 gigs of ram
Home Premium supports up to 16GBs tops.

I need some advice on a monitor. At the moment I have my sights on this. Amazing value apparently, but maybe not the best picture. I don't want to spend more than £250 on one.

Any pointers?

Standard LCDs aren't going to give you that great of a picture. Try searching for some IPS panels. LG makes a few cheap IPS panels, and they're pretty decent quality.

IPS huh? Never heard of 'em but I'll look into it. My TFT monitor does a cracking job already though, so perhaps I can manage with an LCD again. I might be persuaded to get a high-res 30 inch monitor too. Depends how much I get paid next month I suppose.

Anyone know what might be up with it?

Have you tried cleaning out the inside of the drive? Also, is it only doing this for a particular DVD, or all DVDs?

Ive tried 2 different DVDs, Ill try cleaning out the inside though. Would the compressed air in a can stuff work fine for cleaning it?

That's what I'd use to clean the inside out. However, if it turns out to be something else you probably don't want to take the thing apart.
