All - I need some help; I spent the last day or so trying to put together my 'dream' machine. Please tell me where I am going wrong or am I on the right track... To the question what do I want out of this machine - answer, my wife not to find out how much $$$ I spent!!! Everything else is a possibility and low noise is a must (again, see wife!)... I'm kidding about the wife stuff I'm truly blessed in that department, all 280 lbs of her!!!
Think HIGH PERFORMANCE and LOW NOISE
- Lian Li V2100 B Plus (case)
- SeaSonic S12-600 ATX12V 600W Power (psu)
- TYAN S2895A2NRF (motherboard)
- 2 AMD Opteron 285 (2 cpu d/c)
- 4x2G DDR400 (ram 8G)
- 3Ware 9550 (SATA controller) 'for real RAID5 - 3g/s'
- 4 WD 250GB SE16 (harddrives)
- Quadro4 NVS 285 64MB
I realize I whimped out on the video a little but I need to save a few bucks someplace. I am considering a Sound blaster X-Fi, not done considering.
1 concern I have is keeping the processors cool, I am hoping the Lian Li helps in that regard I don't want to add another noisy thing to the equation.
I feel like I am missing something hence this post - am I? also Optical and 3.5 will be salvaged from my old machine.
THOUGHTS PLEASE - FLAMES too, if I deserve them...
