Im going to buy a brand new PC

[bankai]

guys, guys, hold on lang . . .

thanks for the inputs, il try to list all your specs, ang price range lang n kaya ko is 25k-30k, im really not into serious gaming, tamang gaming lang, as long na walang HANG or LAG

*tambutsoo

il less the LCD monitor, the 2x kingston 1GB, the altec lansing speakers

mura lang pala ang 200GB nho, siguro il go for 80GB na lang muna, but il get the 1GB DDR2

requirements ba ng core2 duo yung 2x 1GB DDR2?

whats the nega feedback on generic PSUs?

parang OT na posts mo pre. naghahanap ng cheapest pc performance wise yung thread starter. i know those two dont always go hand in hand pero top of the line naman yung mga pino-post mo.

or you're just trying to show off your rig?

i dunno but obvious naman na...... :rofl01:

P30k........ Ok. Now everyone can go wild speccing systems within that price range.

whats the nega feedback on generic PSUs?

Generic PSUs are over rated. Kapag nakalagay 350W, baka mga 275W lang kaya nyan.

Jun: z2300 is a different series. It's one of the best sounding 2.1 speakers ever. z5300e is an attempt to make cheap HTIB and it is (about 6k during its time) much like the creative inspire 5.1. Logitech z5500 is the flagship model though quite disappointing since it's 7.1 age already. Cambridge Gigaworks S750 (700W 7.1) is good but it's too expensive for what it offers that I'd rather get an entry level HT like Harman Kardon + JBL / Infinity speakers.


Bankai: remember, with computers, sometimes, scrimping will make you spend more.

For example, generic PSUs ratings are NOT real (obviously, that's the reason why they're cheap). often, it's not even a quarter of it. So don't be surprised if your generic 500w PSU blows up after adding your 3rd harddisk or after a transient surge. A PSU blowup is often not really that a big deal. It is if it destroys your motherboard or the board of your HD along with it. Sometimes, RAMs and videocards too. Now imagine you have nice parts and the generic PSU blows up. Kainis diba?

You might also wanna invest on a UPS in the future.

Ok. I assumed the z5300e was the 5.1 equivalent of the z2300. I mean the z2300 had also been criticized for seemingly weak mids. But, using software equalizers seemed to help.

You're right. There is a difference....

you can still adjust specs from here like proc speed but the board should remain the same so you can easily upgrade to the latest Intel proc.

generic din ang power supply ko .pero may AVR naman ako
.pwede na cguro iyon di ba ?

[Horsepower]

Depende sa AVR bro, kung servo-motor type, medyo protected ka. Kung yung sinaunang AVR na pagkabigat bigat (kasi ang laki ng transformer) ok yan.

Yung binebenta currently sa stores na "AVR" daw for 300-500 pesos walang kwenta yon. It's practically just an overpriced power strip. Walanghiya gumawa nun ang lakas manloko. hehhee.

Kung lagpas one year na yan and ok pa, either magandang klase yung nakuha mo bro na generic PSU or konti lang ang nilagay mong devices kaya di pa sya bumibigay.

getting a branded PSU (which has a true rating, proven design and passed several stages of quality control) will give you peace of mind. 3,700 lang naman for a 550W im sure kayang kaya mo yon, ikaw pa. hehehe

I chose HEC 550AB kasi may active PFC, power factor correction, and autovolt, 100-240v yun.

Siempre, may mas maganda pa dun, pero sya yung bang for the back ika nga.
