newegg.com always has good deals on most computer hardware (RAM, HD) dont think they have EPIAs though but check.

The opus is going to be the same price pretty much everywhere you might as well get it here at the Mp3Car.com forum store

i notice that theres 3 models for the opus 150W.. i just want to know do i really need the housing for it? which do you suggest... i was thinkin the one without the housing to save space.. other then that their all the same correct ?

I know of two versions of the opus 150, the full size and the shuttle pc one.

If you are planning on haveing the opus outside of the computers case I would say go with the full sized one, with the caseing around it. If you are planning on putting it in a small mATX case then search through the forums as some cases appearently had issues fitting the opus.

i was shopping for rams a few min ago and i was totally confused... lol there were so many kind like i know the mkii 12000 accepts pc2100 but they sold ecc registered and etc.. can someone clear me out on this...

ecc is generally used in servers and will not work.

I would suggest getting the pc 2100 DDR SD RAM if that is what is suggested by your mobo.

If you don't know how to determine what sort of RAM goes into a specific motherboard, you really have no business attempting to build a computer.

you always have something negative to say to me... my question was to clear up the difference between ecc rams and non ecc rams... but i know how to determine which ram the mobo accept.. so plz read again b4 you post something negative to me... and even if i didnt know how to assemble a pc theres always manuals and instructions i can follow... and i also have computer technicians in my family that can assemble the parts.. so dont be to quick to make a comment
