Have you actually looked at and used the iiyama LCD? I've got the 17" and have also used the 15" ones version but I prefer my old iiyama CRT - can't seem to get brightness right on the LCD. I think the Dell/Philips/Sony LCDs are much better.

My bad, I thought you were recommending *any* Lian-Li, not that one in particular. It seems the PC-6070 is their first try at a quiet case - it's definitely got my interest.

Re: My new PC, suggestions/ changes welcome?...
 

It looks good and has been recommended :)

Iiyama is a good make for monitors, so can't see it being a bad choice :)

Re: My new PC, suggestions/ changes welcome?...
 

Ah right, no, I chose the case I have over one of the lower end Lian Li's, I just have to convince her indoors that I HAVE to have this new Lian Li or the whole world will come to an end.

WiFi - why b only. b/g is not much more and 5 times faster. Why Wifi in the case when you will connect this by wire?

HDD why an IDE ATA when you have SATA onboard. Get a SATA150 for better performance. If your doing a lot of graphic work or video work, then maybe get two 80/120Gb ones and set them to Raid 0.

If the PC is your primary business PC, get two 160Gb SATA disks and RAID1 them. Permanant full time hot backup.

Does anyone know what cables I get with this? I assume an analog cable but does it come with the DVI cable?

Thanks :tu: :)


I've been thinking of upgrading this to the SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS 7.1 Sound Card Retail . Is it worth it? for £25 more?

Also what does the Soundblaster Audigy2 NX USB2 7.1 External Retail do? :)


and if I buy those two should I just buy SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro 7.1 surround sound, Dolby Digital ® EX Retail?

Re: My new PC, suggestions/ changes welcome?...
 

The ZS is a 7.1 card, THX certified (apparently) but still uses the original EMU chip so you really wouldn't notice much improvement in sound etc. The NX is an external USB sound card, avoid it, it'll use a lot of CPU cycles. I'd recommend the ZS Platinum Pro, both me and Richard have one, the breakout box is VERY handy, midi ports, mic in, headphone jack, optical in and out, Firewire and a remote control. Oh, and CMSS is far better on the ZS no matter which flavour you choose.

Post 1 bullet point 7.

The Maxtor diamond plus 9 120Gb drive i bought on accident (was trying to buy a samsung spinpoint) works nicely and the Maxdrive(?) software to install on legacy machines is fantastic. Just RTFM :blush: and pull the right jumpers out!
