Whats up again. I ordered the parts and they will be here by Saturday, some the 24th and some the 25th, Im saying saturday as worst case scenario.
Below are my orders, and I am looking for advice on how to go about assembling everything in a logical and efficient manner.
First thing is to put in the PSU i'm assuming, then the processor on the MOBO along with the video card and memory then put that in the case.
Next I assume I would install the (3) hard drives two Raptors and one 7200rpm larger one.
Then I assume I install the HP Lighton technology DVD +- DVD/CD Burner. After which I will close the case, connect my keyboard/mouse and LCD monitor and power it on? So in doing these steps can you give me any advice and specific tips to configure this correctly?
As for the Setup...
Intel Pentium® 4 650 Processor Prescott 3.4GHz, 800MHz
FSB, Socket 775, 2MB Cache
Enermax EG475P-VE SFMA Noisetaker 470W Power Supply for P4 & AMD K8
CASE LL ALU|PC-V1000 BLACK RETAIL
DDRAM 512X2|OCZ PC3500 433M
HD 74GB|WD 10,000RPM 8MB
HD 36GB|WD 10K RPM 8MB
HD 160GB|SEAGAT 8mb
HP 16X IDE DVD+/-RW DVD640I BLK - R
View Sonic |17"LCD VP171B-2 Black
MB ABIT AA8 INTEL 925 ATX
ATI RADN X800XL 256MB
PS...Is it better to leave the drives as separate or should I configure them in RAID
Thanks in advance!!!
