Firstly, i promise this will be my last post on this, i've started a million threads asking question after question about this but i think i've finally come to a conclusion.
The system isn't going to be used for gaming, just media use, so i'm simply intending to use the on-board graphics. I chose a Samsung Spinpoint hard drive as they're supposed to be very quiet, which is also something i'm going for. I'm just a little concerned about the CPU and RAM, i'm not very good with these componants and don't really know what i'm going for so i'd appreciate some comments about my choices (i'm also a little concerned that neither appear on Abit's tested CPU's and RAM for this board).
Anyway, here's what i think i'm going to go for:
Motherboard: Abit AN-M2
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.20GHz
RAM: GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC6400C4 800MHz DDR2
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint P SP1654N 160GB ATA-133 8MB
Case: Lian-Li PC-V300
I'm buying from overclockers.co.uk by the way, if anyone had any alterations it would be good if they stocked them there.
So, what do people think?
