Way to go Ana, that is the same motherboard I bought from them. I got one of those cases that reports the internal temperature of the computer on a little panel on the front. With an extra case fan the temp averages 70 degrees F. The box is cool to the touch. The old Dell XPS sat on the floor under my desk. The drawer above it was always warm inside. This new rig no dispersed heat into the drawer and no radiant heat above the case. That extra fan sure proved to be a useful addition. The case shipped with three fans of its own.

Glad to hear of your new computer, Ana. It sounds like a great system and a really good deal. Though I was sorry that I didn't see any mention of turbo on turbo. lol

I tried to spec out the same system you described on ecollege but my figures were always a little higher, even with the 5% savings.

I can't wait till I can get a new system. I'm going to dance around the room for a while once it arrives. zombie penguin zombie penguin yay

@Mad - You too?! eCollege? Can't wait to see what you order. rah yay thumbsup

Oh, the humanity! Where are the Publisher's Clearing House Award people when you need them? taz rotfl

Mad won't be able to order from eCollegePC as they are a small local business. However CyberPower does build in the UK!

I'm over excited NOW so what I'll be like when it's built I dread to think lol

Of course, I probably won't have a clue as to how to actually use it - so that will sober me up eek

How are you getting on, BrownEyedTigre think

I am waiting for the "your computer has shipped" email Mad and hoping it comes soon. I only had to shut down my computer twice yesterday to let it rest and then it behaved. It's difficult and unnerving to work on a deadline and pray that the computer stays running. eek

You will love your new set-up I am sure Mad. hearts

Ana I'm also keeping fingers crossed and saying a prayer that your system doesn't fail on you before you get your new one. I feel quite excited for both you and Mad to be getting new systems.

Although I know that getting a new system for you is a requirement for your livelihood and a whole new layer of stress, I still feel happy for you to get a new system for any reason.

Not sure I expressed myself well.

I understood that quite well Sharon. I am excited, it's always fun to get a new toy. I just wish the new toys wouldn't be so expensive. lol

Do we raise eyebrows because of the cost or because we know the cost of getting one? In other words, what does it cost us to pay the price for a new PC?

My computer came yesterday and not a moment too soon because my other one died Saturday. sad

It took me forever to get my screenshot program to work but after 4 hours and many bad words I found the solution on a gaming tech forum. Now I am all set to work. yay

Here is my work station. The gaming computer is on the left, the mail, internet and all other functions is on the right. Two UPS battery backups are under the desk.

Thanks again for all your help. I am hoping this one will take me through another 4 years at least. grin
