ebay, it dont charge in customs, just shipping, i know, cus my fan speed controllers came from hong kong aswell

customs officers charge customs though......and thats right were your package will be going through......your chip will be dearer than the fan speed controllers and will be eligible for it unless you ask them to lower the value on the package

Then i will wait till my birthday, 10th of april, where will ask for 2 1tb drives, after destrying my 2 300gb hard drives by droping them in use.

I don't understand why you are doing this; you could sell the old drives instead? :confused:

Cookeh · 16 Mar 2011 at 20:48

Thuban AND Zosma? A cpu can't be two types :confused:

ZZZAC · 18 Mar 2011 at 17:36

i know you said this ages ago, and i might be wrong but, i swear you can't use ECC ram in a standard desktop? :/

ZZZAC · 19 Mar 2011 at 18:45

i know, its for servers and workstations, it was from my old dual xeon gaming workstation

hellarda · 20 Mar 2011 at 15:33

but are trying to put that in your new desktop build?

No.

He said he sold that

A corsair 500Watt would prob put out more stable power then that Icute, Sadly you over paid for it also it's basically a junker psu.

Also xeon is a server CPU i'm pretty sure 90% of games won't use the two CPU's money would have been better spent on a Q6600 and a better graphics card.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you updated a lot of the specs, Still a decent video card would make all the differace.
