Thread: Why can't computer parts be pratical :|

    Why can't computer parts be pratical :|

    So first the 8800GT can't fit in either the PCI or the PCI-E slot because it's obscured by other menial pieces, and also because putting it in the PCI slot would involve putting it in backwards (wtf, I know), I ended up buying

    and

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128050

    And, hell, when I figured I was buying that, I also bought

    and

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141307

    And I don't want to fucking see Newegg again for the next three years.

    Yeah, I was under the impression since my current mobo supported an integrated nVidia chip and an AMD proc that there would be no prob. It's been fixed and I've been educated on that bit.

    I just looked trough the parts...what the fuck were you trying to do? Match the motherboard to the case color or by what criteria were you searching?
    ...What? I was trying to find a mobo that supported the 8800GT's massive size, and when I realized that the current case I have here is too small for the mobo, I was looking for a case, and when I found an Apevia one that support their Apevia PSU, which I also have, I decided to buy a case. The proc and the stick of RAM were impulse buys and I figured if I was upgrading everything else I might as well upgrade that too (current system has a 64 x2 4400 and 2GB of RAM).

    So here's what I switched for the AMD proc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115030

    If you still have em within a month, I could maybe buy something or 2 off you for whatever price you payed.
    Well the only thing I'm going to be leaving behind is my old case, my old mobo, my old proc, and my old card, and the only decent thing out of it all is the proc if you're not looking for anything for it to handle future-wise. The card is a sin, though, and I plan on recording the burning of it.
