Bump, with confirmation of AM2 processor. It's even better than I thought -- not a 3200+, but a 3800+. This will prove even better for gaming.
I also need to discuss a couple of things with Neonie.
I'll IM you next time I see your actually online and not "away" for days at a time. Lol :3

She probably just leaves herself on 'away' to not get bothered, I do that a lot on regular AIM :x

Actually, I haven't been home since Saturday.

I've got a spare hard drive I can send along. What kind of RAM? I'm assuming DDR2, right? If so, I might have something for that as well.Â
Also, bump before Neonie misses the pyro updates.Â

If it's an AM2 mobo, I'd presume it takes DDR 800 RAM. That stuff is cheap as dirt these days, about $20 per gig.
I theoretically may have a 430W PSU, but I'm probably going to try to resell my old computer as a whole. Our other junker computer only has a 330W PSU I think, which wouldn't cut it, especially if you ever want to upgrade.

Ive been building my little brother a pc, he has got everything except a graphics card and dvd drive over the last 6 months, hes saving up and waiting to see if the newer cards coming out will drop the prices alot. I tried to convince him to just get a cheap card for now, but he is too stubborn. My parents said they would help him but the comp would have to sit in the kitchen leading to less lols. I tried every gma 3100 script i could find but he cant get over 25 fps, 10 in firefights. You probably played with him before on my comp, Psyps. Hes been roming it up but when he can finally play with us hes got a lot of achievement whoring to do. Im trying to bum any old pci/pci-e cards off my friends but they usually reuse for builds for sale.

Definite on the hard drive and 2 Gigs of RAM as well. Misunderstood what Ceceil had said before, so neonie still needs a motherboard and power supply. AM2 socket I believe for the mobo.

Going to get the final 2 parts the first chance I get so that way when it all get's here I'll be able to put it together and get on TF2 again
Re: Building a Sentry..er..computer. - Neonie - 07-03-2008
Recap for those who I haven't been keeping information up-to-date with but may want to know:
I picked up all of the parts that I needed to buy from UPSÂ on Tuseday, I put them all together Wensday morning, I've been havening quite some fun putting it all together. Copulating Duck helped me a lot in the whole "putting it together and what does what" department. (So much so, I would not have been able to get it together without him xD).
So the mother board, power supply, and DVD-CD rom drive are all in the computer case, hooked up, ready to go.
The only things I'm waiting on now are Duck who is sending me the ram, the hardrive, and a NOT windows XP OS.
And a shipping quote from Ceceil The money's been sent, waiting for ship :3 who is sending me the processor(w/cooler), LCD Monitor, 8500 GT. And incredibly kindly: All of the TF2 updates (either it was really late at night or I just got off work and I can't remember this entire conversation...it might not have been updates...I forget?) and drivers I need.
I'm very exited to be getting back on TF2 soon (if everything goes well and ships soon, don't expect me to hound people to ship stuff, I ain't like that *has a fuck load of patience*).
<3 you all and hope you haven't forgotten who I am in the past 2-3 months.

Processor and video card shipped!
They should be arriving in just a few days, Neonie.
