New PC

[wildcard451 0]

Well, mine was a few years old, hand built mind you, but has recently been seeing some slowdowns, and the hard drives are filling up, the games are lagging bad, and I am not even gonna try video editing on here.....But she has been good to me, and will soon have a new home as a linux box for whatever I decide to do with it.

Took me a while to order this puppy, but the parts are on overnight as of right now, and within 2 days I will have built my next "I can do with this thing whatever I please" computer.

ANTEC P180 Mid Tower Case

ANTEC TPII-550ATX Power Supply

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium nForce4 Mobo

AMD 64 4400+ ATHLON Dual Core

EVGA nVidia 7800GT GeForce 256DDR

2GB CORSAIR DDR400 Dual Channel RAM

(2)250GB WD Caviar SE16 SATA II in RAID 0

CREATIVE X-FI FATAL1TY

Scythe Ninja Fanless Cooling Block

Nero 7 Ultra (Free)

DVD ROM and DVD-RW Drives

Floppy/Multi-Card Reader

Yes yes, I am a computer geek. Hopefully this box will live up to my expectations.

nice comp man


1 question though, why would you bother RAID 0'ing your 2 drives.


How many files are you going to use that are larger than 250 GB?

I thought it was about a new pilot chute design, or a new set of rules on how to be politically correct.

I just built a very similar computer, same MB, but a 4200 chip. There is one thing that I noticed though, on the Ai Booster that comes with the A8N it shows my fsb at 800, isn't AMD supposed to be 1G?
