OK. Some other recommendations.....;-) I also like the Giga-byte GA-7DXR for a more expensive board. It has onboard IDE RAID. Very stable as well. My bad on the CPU. You can get the 1.4 gig Athlon for $164. -----Original Message----- From: Darxus@chaosreigns.com [mailto:Darxus@chaosreigns.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 8:59 PM To: plug@lists.phillylinux.org Subject: [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. -- http://www.ChaosReigns.com ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug Attachment:
