UnderLoK Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) TTT You're solid man, it's really hard to make a big mistake picking out parts ESPECIALLY for a rig that isn't for gaming. If it were me I would be going with NV over ATi because of the reasons I outlined (plus flash acceleration advances faster with NV), but the tech is in its infancy still and you can always add another card later. Just be sure you can't buy it prebuilt for less. It's hard to beat the big guys now days. Normally as long as you get more ram through New Egg it's cheaper. While many people have horror stories about Cyberpower you can custom build a PC through them and often times it's cheaper than NewEgg. I had no choice but to go with them with my last computer (I've been putting them together since 93) because it was $350 cheaper.

Thanks, yea i am going to check around, there is a couple of computer shops in my town so i am going to check there also. They have base models that start out at $99 and then when you start adding the price goes up. Also i am going to check best buy and other places to just to make sure. I mean this would be a solid comp but that doesn't mean i cant get something with similar specs for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeyrapboy Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Just found this. Specs seem to be pretty good and its going to cost $100 less. http://louisville.craigslist.org/sys/1804067597.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEvil Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Everything is about OpenCL what are you talking about? NV's SDK and driver for OCL run under the CUDA architecture they don't compete. OCL isn't like OGL my man, it's more than just graphics, it allows devs to pool a systems resources as a whole. It was created to run on everything and on any architecture... Go to post 15 and tell me which of the items listed by the Op is about OpenCL/CUDA? Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

Moti Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Check on the warranty. The whole post does... I take it you think OpenCL is only for graphics? Seriously dude calm down. The OP never said anything about stream computing.. He just wants a basic computer to do some minor video editing once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wants a basic computer to do some minor video editing once in a while. Needless to say i got lost QUICK! Underlok, I called the the guy on the craigslist post, he runs a small business out of his house and offers a 2 year warranty on the computer, so if ANYTHING goes wrong he told me to bring it in and he will fix it free of charge.

Good to see someone was able to read what I wrote without needing corrective lenses ; ) On a side note, there are nV OpenCL 1.1 drivers out now if you know the places to look.

wL<3bass Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Be careful not to bend the pins on the cpu when installing it... To much thermal paste isn't any better than not enough... And last... TAKE YOUR TIME! Goodluck Edit: Personally I like to build and work on mine on a clean linoleum floor in BAREFEET...take your socks off...they cause more static then you could even imagine... and if in doubt reground you hand on the computer chassis.
