Hi I'm new here & just wondering what you all think of this spec I'm looking at building, its something completely new to myself as I've never built a machine like this, usually just boring old cases & components which would just about do the job I need, so it's quite a step forward! Antec PlusView 1000AMG Metallic Gray File Server Case Antec TrueBlue 480W PSU Coolermaster Aero 7+ (Socket A) AMD Athlon "Barton" XP3200+ 400FSB (Socket A) CPU DFI LanParty NFII Ultra-B (Socket A) Motherboard TwinMOS 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3200 Dual Channel Kit XFX GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB DDR VIVO/DVI Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 Serial ATA 160GB 8MB Cache Sunbeam CFK08-UVB 80mm UV Cold Cathode fan - Blue Sunbeam CFK08-RGB Cold Cathode 80mm fan - Red/Green/Blue Coolermaster Neon LED 80mm Fan - Purple Sunbeam Sound Activated Cold Cathode - Red/Blue/Green Akasa AK-173-UV 12" Cold Cathode - Ultra-Violet Akasa Serial ATA 45cm DAYGLO Blue Data Cable Akasa Rounded Ultra ATA133/100/66 IDE UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Orange Akasa Rounded Floppy UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Red Sunbeam Split Wire Loom - Blue Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) I'm still building this machine to a budget though, but am hoping the stuff I've chosen will do a good job Also I've chosen the above case as its the only one I like! I'm still looking for a monitor though, and having a look at a few 17" TFT jobbies! Any feedback/comments would be apreciated thanks! Paul
Jet: the aero 7 performs and looks better than the jet. AN7: the nf7-s rev.2 or the DFI lanparty NF2-ltra boards are the best for amd the hdd: the ide versions of the dm+9 are faster, i have two of the ide's a close friend has 3 of the sata's (all in 160gig flavour) and the ide's are faster. it looks like you are building a gaming pc, wireless mice are a bit of a nono for serious gamers, try the icemat and ms v3 optical mouse bundle from kustompcs.co.uk monitorwise a samsung 172t is best bet.
Just updated the list up top thanks, I can sell the wireless mouse to my brother & get something decent As far as the SATA Drive goes, I'll get an IDE one instead, same make n all, so just left it as it was on the sheet! The LanParty board should look good though with the UV lights inside the case Machine will be for gaming yes, but also for Web Development, programming, 3d rendering & graphics use, aswell as a few other things!
