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.
