Right now HP is selling trinity: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-p7-1240-Desktop-Glossy/dp/B0083Q3NOS/ref=pd_cp_pc_0 (take out _ in ht_tp to see it)on amazon.
It's kinda expensive though. I think I could build a Llano for far cheaper.
Should I build a Llano and have better parts for everything else? (faster more reliable dvd, better ram, better powersupply, etc)
Or just get this for trinity? I really want trinity, but don't want to wait till it gets here.. And I'm not sure if I can wait 2 months. (+ some other reasons)
Almost nothing but good reviews for trinity. Also, if I wait, better motherboards will creep up right? :/
I also do not like how hp cases are made up. This cpu may be able to do with that one fan case, but it seems like heat suicide should I put something else in it.
I was wondering if I should just buy it for the motherbord and cpu, strip it and build something else, but that would probably cost 800 (before resell of parts). Might as well get sandy bridge eh? Heck I could cheap out on other components and get sandy bridge + gpu anyway for about $600 right? (or ivy bridge)
