New Computer
-
I am in the process of building a new computer, as funds are available. So far I have a new ASUS MB that supports up to PC2700 DDR ram, I am waiting for a Athlon XP 2200+ and I have a Radeon 7200 Pro (Got it for Free!) and Seagate 80 GB Barracuda. I also have plans for a TV Tuner card. Any suggestions/comments? -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179

Nothing beats a dual box, especially for a developer. :cool: That and a HUGE kicka33 monitor. The most expensive you can afford. :-D ___________ Klaus [vbbox.com]

Besides, that stuff comes in handy when playing too...*Drool*:-D Last week I stated that this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister and now wish to withdraw that statement. -Mark Twain

They were only $28 dollars on newegg.com and is rated by AMD to keep a 2600+ (unfortunately not released yet) cool. My brother bought one and it is like a case fan on top of a giant heat sink. It is very noisy at its fastest rpm but isn't too bad at about 5000. Anyway, just a suggestion. Sounds like a cool system *drool...* Later. Brad Jennings

Actually the processor I am waiting for is based on a new core that runs significantly cooler than all other processors in its class. Also the MB comes with software to monitor all of the temperature and fan speeds. Christian Graus wrote: 21" flat screen Huge cost factor there, mainly I don't have the cash.

A processor that won't start a fire if your fan stops ? A 21" flat screen. A gig of RAM. A DVD burner. Hell, TWO DVD burners. Or did you mean brands of TV cards ? I have a cheap one, and it works like a dream, no need for anything expensive IMO. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

My new 19" flat screen cost me £200 ($300) including VAT and next morning delivery, though the only reason I didn't opt for 21" was because they weren't available in flat screen in the range.

"You can't seriously believe that you could get away with suing someone over quoting text from a message posted in a public forum, can you?" - John SimmonsIf you can find an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 I'd recommend that as the TV/vid capture card to get. I got one a few years ago and it still rocks. They're tough to find now though as ATI has moved to Radeon all-in-wonders which are pretty expensive. Josh Knox
