[PLUG] please comment on my new computer specs
|
Looks like I'm finally building a new box to replace my p2 233/128mb box.
I haven't been keeping up on hardware, but I've gotten some input from
friends. I would really appreciate input on this system - I'll probably
order everything tomorrow.
asus a7m266 motherboard, newegg.com, $172
athlon 1.33ghz, 266mhz bus cpu, newegg.com, $135
sblive value sound card, newegg.com, $40
2x 256mb ddr ram, crucial.com, $49.95 each
pc power & cooling 350w ps, pcpowercooling.com, $96.75
Lian-Li pc12 black case, thinkgeek.com, $174.99
MC370-BLA Heatsink + 38cfm fan, crazypc.com, $41.98
Going to use existing voodoo 3 3k video card for now. Not worrying about
cdrom yet. Have keyboard & mouse & monitor & hard drive & network card.
Total: $760.62 (+shipping)
The functions of this box will be primary workstation (linux) + lan
parties (games) (mostly windows).
The power supply is approved by AMD for the 1.33ghz athlon. DDR ram is
like, fast or something. Considered the 452w power supply, but that's an
extra $82.35.
