I know this is a computer discussion but I didn't want to start a new topic for this cause it feels like a waste, but does anyone know how much RenderWare current-gen software costs??

I don't think EA sells Renderware for third-party use anymore, but I could be wrong.

Yeh well, minus the accessories, I think just the tower I'm making is like $90-ish or something.

Ok, I have a P4 3.4GhZ ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116196 ) coming soon. woot. Now all I need is memory... One more week, One more week...

I found a cheaper case that looks pretty good. Comes with 2*120mm fans and a space for another 120mm. Nice and quiet. =) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146025

I still don't like doors but meh, this one doesn't look too fugly I guess. Anyways, what you guys think, the Antec case worth the price compared to this one? It's almost twice as much.

EDIT: why do we have 2 topics now? o.o

Wait, weren't you getting a Core 2 Duo?

Netham45 · « **Reply #81 on:** April 27, 2007, 02:10:00 am »

not enough money. They cut down the hours I can work down to about 12 per week. that's about 60$/wk

Also, a dual-core compatable board is kinda expensive.

@spengo, my case has a 17(or was it 27) inch(circumfrence) fan.

Well, in the case going back to single core, I would definitely choose athlon 64 over a p4 but whatever. Also, I haven't seen 170mm fans and 270 seems too big for any normal sized case. You sure that's the size? o.o

Sorry, It's 250mm, not 270

spengo · « **Reply #84 on:** April 27, 2007, 09:31:00 am »

Ah, nice, actually that's one of the cases I was considering. I decided against it though 'cause the reviews say there's some plasticy stuff like a fake turbofan (the 140mm is behind it) and the doors (I hate doors). It looks cool though and it's probably pretty quiet, not to mention it's relatively cheap which is always a plus.

Methinks I'm sticking with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 case though.

there is a fake turbofan. It is rather quiet, and I like it personally.

Ok, I got the CPU yesterday and plugged it in and turned it on. *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*...*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*...*BEEEEEEEEEEEP*

I forgot memory. I should be able to get that today though so it should be running later today.

Well, good luck with that.

I still don't get why you didn't buy a c2d. The E6320 is only $168 and the old allendale E4300 is only $114. P4 suxx0rz
