Fair Price for Sony KDL-52XBR5 52-Inch

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking a $300-$500 since it looks to be in excellent condition but given the age I think I agree that $200 is a better price. I have also located a Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-111FD 50" set locally. I have not seen this in person yet but they are asking $550...

GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3R + Intel E7200

I have decided on this motherboard and processor but have read that this board will require a bios update for the E7200. Since I do not have another processor to use in this board until I can update the bios will I be able to get up and running with the included bios? Thanks:)

I am looking for a quiet but yet cool system. I will be running an Intel E7200 overclocked (hopefully past 3 GHz). I have heard that the case fans that come with the Antec P182 are not the quietest so I am looking to replace them. If you could recommend replacement case fans and how...

CPU upgrade for my wife's computer

I thought that the sempron had a 333MHz bus, which means that it would not work with the A7V266-E motherboard that is in the computer, correct? I can't find anything on Asus's website indicating if the A7V266-E will work with Sempron's or not.

2405 too big?

The only way this monitor would be too big is if your viewing distance is very close and can't be increased. When I upgraded from my 17" CRT, the first thing that I did was to push the 2405 back further. If I could not have moved it back, it might have been too big since I could not take in...
