      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

      If 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

            I haven't decided on the tuner yet, but I am thinking about something similar. -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179

                  Just asking about transatlantic pricing... Matt Newman wrote: Huge cost factor there, mainly I don't have the cash. I'll have to settle for my current 17" Is the cost really that high? 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. Matt Newman wrote: DVD burner [... no] Again, they are not that expensive anymore are they? £175 ($265) for the Pioneer DVR-104 at my last check. Not sure what that model performs like though.
