Please help me build my new computer, DC!
tomos:
well, I should have been (as often) clearer - I sorta meant "mini" speakers - like I have a set on other computer, sony - doesnt even say what ... what's a speaker measurement unit?!? ... but they're small - sound is grand (in a small room) but they cant handle any volume really but that's okay too -
As you say anyways at that price - I wouldnt be expecting to throw a party with them -
will look next time I'm in town anyways,
thanks!

Well, I am loving the rocking speed of this new pc. It's been a long time since I've been able to do things so quickly. Every click, every transfer is so responsive. We'll see how long it takes for it to slow down. It's a well-built machine.
There are only two problems so far:
--This monitor issue. In extended desktop mode, only the secondary monitor comes out of standby with a key press or mouse movement. The primary one needs to be turned off and back on. I have submitted a ticket to ATI for it.
--The on board sound of the motherboard has a decent amount of static and noise to it. I'm only able to use headphones for the time being, but it sounds like way too much static. If I move the mouse, especially when I use the scroll wheel, there's this high static sound. That's no good for me since I do a lot with audio and music. I will probably use my pro sound card once I have my cables and speakers set up. I wonder how others deal with that noise though.

where were the pictures we were promised?

Check your mixer settings - I had this problem once and it turned out to be bad mixer settings!

The pictures are going to be in the website article I put up soon. I still want to get a nice "after" shot, but I'm not ready yet. I still have the old computer on the desk because I forget some files here and there while I setup the new one. Also, I just bought my Big Knob mixer today, so the speaker setup isn't done yet. There's still work to do. I'm taking pics along the way, though. Maybe I should post a couple of preview pics...

I'll look into that. Any suggestions specifically?
