The address you're suppose to ship your item to is the one in Whittier, CA. I had to RMA one of my items back to Newegg on 8/16. They received it on 8/18 and shipped the replacement on 8/19. Got my package on 8/23.
Well, on my case, I have a monster airplane engine in the front that draws in air to cool the hard drives first then circulate through out the entire case. Here's a pic of the front fan:

I was wondering if anyone here knows a site where I can buy a Leadtek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Extreme Video Card for under $200. I found the one at xpcgear.com, but I'm not so sure how reliable that is.
Just a quick question:
This computer will be used for digital content creation and gaming. So should I have gone with a 1GB (2x 512MB) Dual Channel Kit and upgraded the video card? I've already told people that I can upgrade the video card later on, as well as the CPU to an Athlon 64 X2 (when...

After compiling a list of computer parts for my DCC workstation (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=27&threadid=1639735), my brother saw that the motherboard I was going to get uses regular DDR memory. He said all mb's that have a PCI Express slot need to use DDR2 memory. I've...
Well, I think this is it - the final build for my DCC workstation. The main drive (80GB) will only have the operating system and programs (games too; this is one of the reasons why I want to get a DVD-ROM drive). The other one (250GB) will hold all my data. Here is the configuration:

I have always wanted to work in computer animation for quite a while now. Now that I have plenty of ideas for short films, I am planning to build my own digital content creation workstation. Using Newegg and ZipZoomFly for the computer parts, here is what I've come up with:
AeroCool...
After doing some research on these forums and reading up on a ton of reviews, I believe I finally built a computer that I think will be good for graphic design work, music production, and gaming. I also think it gives me plenty of room for overclocking. The total for this rig, without shipping...
I have always wanted to upgrade my pre-built computer for the past year, but I decided that building a computer from the ground up will cost me less than buying a pre-built one. So, setting my budget to $1,500 for my monster, I went through NewEgg and picked out all the components. The total for...
