sup DDP, the case im getting is this one right here: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CP8869-3&cat=CAS 11 bay atx case, with 450 watt power supply, shipping and everything cost 53.00.....
the reason i was asking was that the dvd burner has a black face plate so don't know if look right with a beige case
oh yeah...thats whay im getting that black case..... this system should be a bad ass system..... since the 64 3200+ in the socket 939 has a 2000 mhz frontside bus..... DDP u know where to get any cheap sata drives...???
haven't used sata drives yet but did you check newegg. check this link too see if your psu is big enough & add 30% to the total http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php?cmd=INTEL
oh yeah with everything in there and even compensating for extra future add ons it says i only need a 280 watt power supply...lol..add 50 % to that and im still at 420 watts......... yeah ive looked a little bit for sata drives....i personally havent used them just yet..... i know they run at 150mbps.....and the new SATA2 is 300mbps.....im gonna look into those....if i find anything out there worth the price ill post kit on here for you to check it out.... so what u think of the system im building....anything more u can suggest....
ddp i found one on newegg for sale right now... 250 gb sata drive for $130.... its a wd caviar......i dont know about cavaiar's....ive heard bad thing about them.....u have any opinion on caviar drives..??
my homie gave me his ati radeon 9200 the opther day so....later on ill probably upgrade to a better board and pci express card in the future...
if "new" video card is agp & if new motherboard has pci-e slot than can't use the "new" card as new board doesn't have agp!!
oh nah i know that.....when i do upgrade in the future i wil get a board with pci-e 16x, and a pci express video card....there arent any boards out there that have both agp 8x and pci-e slots on them so.....yeah new board and new card in future will be pci-e
why not get a board that has pci-e & get the new video card now instead of having to get another new board
i could get the board and cpu combo for about 15 dollars more with a pci-e board.....then the card would be about another $200....thats why im figuring ill do that later is the cost of the card.... but i dont know this is the one area ive been debating with thew most.....im still undecided....trying to weigh it out here....
with all the pci stuff it would be DESCRIPTION QTY AVAILABILITY UNIT PRICE TOTAL MBM-VNF4-3200 :: Chaintech VNF4 nForce4 Socket 939 MotherBboard and AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor In Stock $274.99 $274.99 S457-1017 :: Masscool / Socket 754, 939, 940 / AMD Athlon 64 / Ball Bearing / CPU Cooling Fan In Stock $19.99 $19.99 THD-1600JB :: Western Digital / 160GB / 7200 / 8MB / ATA-100 / EIDE / OEM / Hard Drive In Stock $99.97 $99.97 L12-1024 :: Liteon / 16x8x16x DVD+RW / 16x4x16x DVD-RW / 4x DVD+RW / 48x24x48x CD-RW / Black OEM DVD Burner with Nero Software In Stock $59.99 $59.99 P450-8530 :: XFX GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / PCI Express / VGA / DVI / TV Out / Video Card In Stock $159.99 $159.99 Click to remove the item from your cart.
