    1k build w/monitor

    How is this? A friend of a friend said he got a E8500/9800GTX build with a 19" for 1k on Newegg. He'll only take a Intel/Nvidia build since he's a tard like that. I think a 9800GTX+ is a bit overkill for a 19" but he'll probably accuse me of cheating on the build if I use a 9800GT. And he didn't have a CPU cooler in his.

      Looks good. I agree with you about it being overkill for a 19" screen and a 9800GT would suffice, but whatever. Personally, I've never heard of that monitor brand and it's a shame he doesn't already have an HDD, monitor, and disk drive

        Hanns. G is one of the best from what I've heard. They seem pretty popular on Newegg.

          Well after just checking on newegg I can see that it does seem pretty popular. I just haven't heard of it 'til now because I've never had to buy a monitor so I'm only familiar with brands like Dell, Acer, Samsung, LG

            Never going back to Hanns G here... Try to RMA thru them, what a nightmare. Treat you like ****, act like their monitors are 100% perfect and there could never be something wrong ever.

              I did that to make my sister a $500 PC. She was PISSED! :laugh:
              Then I gave her a trial copy of XP Pro, which shut her up for 90 days. :laugh:

                Damn... They replaced my monitor and even sent it out with a technician to fit it and take away my old one free of charge.

                Hanns.G gave me the best support i've ever had!

                  I have that exact monitor, it's great! Going on 2 years with it now with no problems. Definitely worth the money, seeing as how its 1/2 the price of any big named brand and just as good.

                    It's not a great quality panel, compared to my 24" Dell, but for a cheap 22", it holds it's own :)

                      So anyways I showed it to the friend of a friend, and he called me "retarded" for "having a crap motherboard that can't do SLI" and for "buying the OS."
