Does anyone else know a reliable site where Ultra's products sold (not TD) ? They have some nice stuff, but I have not seen it sold anywhere else. Aerosense, that is a sweet case, are you thinking about liquid cooling it?

To everyone...
Why does everyone seem to have beef with TD, I have ordered twice with no problems on the ordering or with the parts? Are they just hit or miss?

[pbcustom98]

the one time i ordered from there (a $1200 order), everything came opened, some parts were broken, some were used...i called them up, and asked to return the stuff that wasnt good..they asked me how i knew the stuff was broken/used if i didnt use it...long story short i had to fight with a supervisor to return my stuff without a restocking fee...

i stay away from them at all costs.

whereas with www.newegg.com i have spent probably close to $4000 in the last year, and have not had one single problem with them. (returning parts past their 30day period, NO PROBLEM!)

pb,out.

Interesting...the PSU im looking at is only available at TD. Everything else Im ordering from NCIX. You think it would be a problem?

I know TD's store its near my house I can go over and give them a peice of my mind if anything comes wrong.

Update: Just ordered my processor with a sale

@ lmark84l: Thanks I really liked this case too! Ill be putting Thermaltake Water Cooling in it whenever I get the money .

I see your point. That is lame. I prefer newegg myself as well, the almost always have better deals.

Shampoo, what kind of 3Dmark05 score do you get with our GPU? I am sure it is at least 3 times the score I get on my ATI x300 (overclocked) in my laptop, lol. Also, I was looking at two EVGA 7600GT's in SLI when I build my desktop, think that will be pretty future proof, or would I be better going with a 7900GT and doing SLI later? Thanks!

Or you could get a 7950GT which is the latest from NVIDIA but its expensive and later get an even better card for SLI.

...And then I could go broke...lol...BTW, isn't a newer version of DirectX coming out soon? Will newer GPUs support it?

Games will still run but current cards to what I have read do not support DX10 - so they wont be able to take the full advantage of DX10.

Thats why Im thinking of getting one 7600GT and later a DX10 card to put in SLI.

P.S - Im already broke
