100+ Head-Fier
hello,
I will be attending the University of Maryland in the fall and I need to build myself a computer
Here is what I am planning:
1) Antec Life Style SONATA Piano Black 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 380W Power Supply - Retail Link
2) EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail Link
3) CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model TWINX1024-3200C2PT - Retail Link
4) AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BPBOX - Retail Link
5) [2] SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series SP1614N 160GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive - OEM Link
(They will be run in a RAID 0 array)
6) Leadtek PX6600GT TDH Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Video Card - Retail Link
7) SAMSUNG Black IDE DVD Burner Model TS-H552U/RSBN - Retail Link
8) SAMSUNG Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model TS-H352A/BEBP - OEM Link
9) ALPS Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive Windows 98SE/ ME/ 2000/ XP - OEM Link
10) Fuji PLUS FP-768 2-Tone 17" 12ms LCD Monitor - Retail Link
Total comes to $1,109.43 including shipping after rebates. My dad gave me a budget of 1100, I think its close enough
I want this computer to be reasonably quiet, (doesn't have to be silent) be able to play games, (not hardcore - school first!) and to serve as a stable platform for schoolwork. Of course, I also plan to load as many cds as possible onto it and feed the digital out into my DAC
Any comments? Ideas? Compatibility issues? Better deals out there?
Thanks
