People: What's on your "Computer Upgrades Parts Wish-Li

[Admiral LSD 0]

Pretty much a whole new PC here.

 

In the following order:

 

• [*] 17" ADI F720 monitor

[*] Cheap 300W ATX midtower case

[*] 80Gb HDD (hopefully by the time I'm ready to buy the 8Mb cache WDs would have come down in price. I wouldn't mind one of the 120Gb versions...)

[*] CD burner

[*] DVD-ROM

[*] EpoX 8K5A2+ motherboard (has onboard LAN and USB2.0 and is only 20 bucks dearer than the 8K3A+)

[*] 512Mb PC2700 DDR-SDRAM

[*] AMD Athlon XP 2200+

[*] Cooling fan for the above (not quite sure about this yet, I'm considering the Thermaltake Volcano 7+ but nothings concrete yet.)

[*] Video card, possibly a GeForce4 Ti4200[/list:u]

I'm down

[clutch 1]

I want my work PC at home:

 

Dual 2.2GHz Xeons

1GB RDRAM

Plextor 40x24x40 burner

16x DVD-ROM

Dual 36GB U320 15K RPM SCSI drives in RAID0

1 120GB WD Ultra-ATA 100 HD w/ 8MB Buffer

 

Oh, and dual flatscreen monitors and a good video capture solution for it would be nice too.

 

[jwl812 0]

Radeon 9700!!!

I just want my computer. It's still on a boat somehwere.

 

 

After that tho , I want a cable modem, which I just ordered and Maybe a 3.0 GHZ CPU.

 

 

And 1 GB PC1066 RDRAM.

 

 

 

And someway to hook that up to my new HDTV

i got a dual 2.2 xeon thingy just recently. it rocks

tried to multi task it to death but it's hard to keep up with.

 

i wanna try some vid capture on it.... and some dvd encoding

[Four and Twenty 0]

more hard drives and a dualhead gForce 4 to power my 2 21 inch monitors. I would love to have a solid state ram card like that tho that is so fukin badass

[sapiens74 0]

Actually what I want Doesnt Exist.

 

 

I want External Devices to be able to boot. like a USB 2.0 drive boot into Windows. So I can run Mulitple OS by switching the plus around

[Four and Twenty 0]

you can boot off a firewire card and usb sucks anyway

[Four and Twenty 0]

well alec I really don't think the NV30 is in my price range. I am running my own small biz so essentials are what I need. I don't really game that much at all so this is what i had in mind http://www.msicomputer.com/product/vga/vga_detail.asp?model=G4MX460-VTP

I know it is an MX and it is crippled (no pixel shaders and whatnot) but like I said I don't really have a chance to play that much anymore. Besides that is more than enough card for my aging p3s.

a new mobo with 2g RAMBUS and a p4 2.4 or higher

21' LCD - that would work well with Games (if they exist)

 

 

Although i am pretty happy with my current VAIO - except stupid sony used pc133 in it for memory!!!

 

so i may just get a new mobo and rambus or DDR 433 is it now? or DDR500, i dunno what they are @ now.

[Mr.Guvernment 0]

i would definetly wait till next year for a video card

 

Since the 9700 PRO already has in it's specs a 256mb version!

 

so next year should be interesting!

 

i mean my video card already (g4 4600) aready has more memory then most people computers on this island...lol

 

 

One day i will build the ULTIMATE system, but u know, a few month later it will be a giant paper weight..lol so almost pointless

 

i likey won't do that until i got my own house with like a T1 or T3 running into it

 

talk about dreaming!
