Admiral LSD 0 Posted August 27, 2002 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] Share this post Link to post

Four and Twenty 0 Posted August 28, 2002 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 Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted August 29, 2002 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 Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted August 29, 2002 you can boot off a firewire card and usb sucks anyway Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted August 29, 2002 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. Share this post Link to post
