don't even think of having another opinion, he ain't having any of it...
hell, why even have a discussion forum, just go to SerpantRoyal.com for all your computing needs............
if you start a discussion about: IP-35E, IP-35, IP-35Pro, prepare for a hijack by ye Ole' Serpant.......
Look, he may be opinionated & I may not always agree with him, but he adds value to the discussions & has found some great deals. I, for one, like having SerpentRoyal around, even if I might get into a heated argument with him at some point
Rather than threadcrap, why not add value yourself?
I'll be getting my IP35-E this week, building around a Core2Duo E6600 & CoolerMaster RR-CCH-L9U1-GP CPU Cooler (posted here by SerpentRoyal). I could use 4 Gigs of the HP 1.8V DDR2 667 JEDEC RAM (also posted here by Serpent) which I recently received, or I might use 4 Gigs of Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM.
By my count, I'll have an IP35-E, CoolerMaster CPU Cooler & 4 Gigs of HP RAM for about $115, a big start towards building a nice new system. SerpentRoyal deserves partial credit for all of that. Add in the E6600, nice case & PS I already have, the Visiontek Radeon X1650PRO recently ordered from NewEgg ($39.99 AR) & I'll have a pretty loaded system for a little over $400 by the time I add my drives, with the CPU being almost half of that. Not bad, certainly a good example of why this forum is valuable.
