Hey all - I haven't been here in a while, but I'm FINALLY building myself a new box (hopefully next week). Here are my tentative plans, and some of the parts I already own. I'll list those first:
-ATi Radeon x800XT
-SB Audigy 4
-M-Audio Delta 66 Omni Studio
-2x WD Raptor 74gb
-Hiper 580W PSU
-Vista Business (Free - thanks, PowerTogether!)
Now, for what I'm going to be purchasing. Please don't make recommendations on what I already have - I, um, can't really change that now can I?
-Intel C2D E6600
-Intel G965 Motherboard
Newegg.com - Intel BOXDG965RYCK LGA 775 Intel G965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
-2gb Mushkin DDR2 RAM
Newegg.com - mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
-CoolerMaster Mystique case (Wanted the Wavemaster, but it appears that nobody carries it anymore)
-Storage drive (Image hard drive, to supplement the two 120gb's I've filled up already) Samsung Spinpoint 500gb
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
The 2x Raptors will be in Raid0 as the boot drive. I've been out of the computing loop for a little while now, so if you guys spot anything that I should really change, it'd be great. Right now my order total is $660, and I'd like to keep the total under $700. If all goes well I will be ordering parts from Newegg early next week. Thanks guys!
