I'm sticking to Deluxe at the moment

can vouch for the antec cases though, i have an antec overture sitting downstairs, it is deathly silent. also the finish is amazingly glossy too, they even supply a little cloth to wipe off fingermarks

oh, you know your motherboard is AGP but graphics is PCIX? incompatible

whats the eta of your complete build dude????

I got 3 buyers for pcs I have in stock my build will be soon very soon

my concern with the cards was the price of the 2 but you got them cheap

I have found this interesting review of a motherboard that supports BOTH agp and pci-e AND supports both socket 754 & 939 making it a very flexible and future proof alternative. Any body have any input on this board ? A review here http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2524&p=1 puts the board up against the Asus Fatal1ty (considered to be one of the best gaming boards out at the moment). This motherboard costs about ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20 less than the board cookie is looking at, and means a better processor can be had with the savings made.

Regards.

I built my own PC earlier this year with the help of CF members!
Here is a blow by blow account.......complete with exact specs.

ramrod just wants to inflate his ego a bit...

there is also an ongoing saga of my computer building somewhere, mine is more chaotic with parts buying and stuff though..

i *still* can't see why you would need 12 drive bays... what are you, a market stall dvd merchant?

Heh, you've never met Ramrod, have you, Dave? Imagine Rodney from Only Fools & Horses, with a suitcase stuffed full of DVDs.... and that's Rammy

Ramrod · 07-10-2005, 14:19

Oy! Behave!

I don't need 12 drive bays, the case had other features that appealed to me.

07-10-2005, 14:34

I need 12 drive bays my next build will be in a full tower something like Rammys

Ramrod · 07-10-2005, 14:37

CoolerMaster Stacker STC-T01 6th one down...all the space you will ever need

balls did it

you just wanted a bigger case than everyone else

why don't you go get a full server room next time? then you will have even more room for your dvd fabrication unit

zinglebarb >> what on earth do you have/do that takes up 12 drives?!

Cookie is not going to be interested in that! That rig is 4 months old! Those specs are hopelessly outdated. It's time for an upgrade Rammy...

Edit: It should still be ok for patience though...

Thats why I pointed him to it--the parts should be a whole lot cheaper now!
