Re: Here Are Parts I've Chosen

Sorry to offend you but I think about half your **** is the OPPOSITE of what I'd choose :D

Raidmax case blah blah...would look at the coolermaster selection instead

Toshiba DVD-RAM...DVD RAM is not DVDRW...and the discs can't be used in DVD players

You realize that's a VERY loud fan on that SK6...would go with the AX-7 and an 80mm fan with decent airflow...will cool better than the SK6 and quieter too...

:eek:IBM hard drive wash your mouth out young man!:p IBM drives are the WORST....if you want 120GB get a Western Digital with 8MB cache..

Yeah go ahead...keyboard

If you're going to get a DDR333 board don't get DDR266 RAM...get Samsung DDR333

Modem..fine

I *hate* LCD monitors...they are not only small but can only one at one resolution. Get a good CRT :cool:

Good choice Epox motherboard...:cool:

What the hell is up with you and Raidmax, get an Antec PP412X (not those new TruePower ones)

You don't need a proc that fast...but whatever

Yes good sound card :)

Logitech Z560 speakers if you can afford em

PNY...nah...go with Leadtek/Gainward

LOL ok no offense man everyone's got a first time ;)

And my stuff is just opinion anyway (except IBM which are just bad ;)) but mostly popular opinion.

I can't believe you actually said that. My view is that there is no such thing as too fast. Too expensive is possible, but not too fast. The way I see it, if you an afford it, go ahead and get it.

the only problem with DVD burners is that the media is $$$$$. I think i am going to wait a while before getting one of those

What I mean is, it's about $50 more for an extra 66Mhz? What's up with that? Sure if you can afford it get it, but a 66Mhz faster CPU isn't gonna do a whole lot, and I could do a lot more with that $50...:D

Exactly...and there isn't a whole lot of headroom for a 1.73Ghz Athlon anyway..i've heard they are poor OCers...
