i just saved you more money than linderman could

k.digennaro · 08-31-2008, 07:25 PM

hey guys, i just got the case, the cd drive, and the hard drive today! (bought these first because they happened to fall right around 200 bucks). I noticed that the sound card linderman suggested was just recently discontinued on new egg. I havent looked for it on other sites yet.

I guess that seems a bit odd to me. Does any one know the reason for this? Where there a lot of problems with the card? Did the company go out of business? Did the company release a newer model?

Should I look for the same card some where else? or should i look into a new card?

Any suggestions on the card if I should get a new one?

Thanks,
Kevin DiGennaro

do i need to buy a wireless card for this set up? I see the mother board has wifi, can i use that to connect to my router? if so is it still worth it to get a card?

**wrench97** · 09-04-2008, 04:33 PM

P5K E Wifi right ? You won't need a Wifi card it will work fine unless your looking for the new wireless N rather then G standard .

k.digennaro · 09-04-2008, 05:27 PM

hmmmm, i guess ill just start off with the standard, this build is already costing me enough :) I can always upgrade if i need to :). I cant wait to get the rest of the parts...lol. I need another grand :). I read an article some where that said to install the cpu cooler first cus its hard to install the cooler when the cpu is in, or maybe it was the other way around.

Any good suggestions for articles on how to build computers? I have a pretty good understanding of how they work etc, I just havent ever built one completely from scratch.

Thanks,

Sure this one should help you out, I think they were telling you to install the CPU then put the heat sink cooler on the CPU before putting the motherboard in the case.

ah okay that makes sense. Thanks for the help wrench, I'll probably be back from time to time as I get more parts for the pc

**wrench97** · 09-04-2008, 06:17 PM

Also note that to use wireless N you need a wireless N router I don't see a huge advantage unless you have a LAN(local Area Network) and transfer large amounts af data because G is faster then normal broadband internet connections.

i also noticed the mother board is "deactivated" not exactly sure what that means, but any one know an alternative? ive almost got all the parts lol

k.digennaro · 09-19-2008, 11:37 AM

sorry not sure how to edit the above post,

I also just want to confirm that all these parts will run on the vista 64-bit, not sure if parts are affected by OS

Thanks,
Kevin

**wrench97** · 09-19-2008, 01:54 PM

Yes to Vista 64

Look here for the MB> http://www.mwave.com/mwave/DeepSearc...wifi&ALL=y&TP=

**wrench97** · 09-19-2008, 01:56 PM

Or for the P45 chipset version, but you'll have to add a WIFI card> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131296
