Question by Daemon: Please review this computer build (gaming rig) and tell me any flaws in design/components.?

I will be building my first gaming rig and need to know that these components will work seamlessly with each other. I would hate to get these parts only to realize that I’ve got incompatible MoBo/graphics.

ALL PARTS are going to come from NEWEGG.com, fyi.

So if there are any issues with this build please give me your advice, I’m open to suggestions.
PS: I understand that this rig isn’t the best quality; however, i am working on a budget. These are the parts I would like to use, so unless they aren’t compatible, or I need more than 320GB of HD 😉 then I wouldn’t want to change the SPECS. And yes VISTA 64bit.

Not bad of a rig, but i would recommend you get more than 320 GB of hard drive space, it will get eaten up pretty quickly, trust me.

At least get a 500GB hard drive

How do I get them to build my design?

Question by Munz: How do I get them to build my design?

I have designed an airplane that I would like to see take to the skys as the real thing, however, it is rather large so I cant build it in my garage, and it would cost upwards of ,000,000 AUS. I know it sounds stupid but it could really work. I have also designed an aircraft never seen before capable of being used by the military a great deal. Can anyone help?

Answer by Denis S
First off, protect your design. I don’t know about Aussie law but US law says keep a record of your design with dates, log books, pictures, sketches, etc. to verify you were first with the idea. Once you’ve applied for a patent, contact the big airline companies, Boeing, Lockheed Martin in the US, Airbus in Europe and tell them you have an idea and try to set up a meeting. You’re going to have to be persistent and remember to protect yourself with confidentiality agreements and the like while you’re shopping your idea around. It won’t easy no matter how good your idea is but be persistent.

Your other route is to go throught the military and shop the idea that way. That may be the more tortured path though.
