Many Thanks - Computer Build a big Success.

:) Just wanted to thank all you folks on AO for the good advice on the computer build. I had posted my system layout and got some good advice from all of you. ACIDDRIVE and I built my machine 3 weeks ago this weekend and it rocks. Below are the specs:

2.66ghz P4 Northwood 533FSB
512 Mgs DDR RAM
Radeon 9500 Pro 8x AGP video Card
Audio Gamer Sound Card
Burner (can't remember the speed)
DVD drive
Floppy Drive
Liquid cooled by coolance - video, chipset, hard drive, processor
MSI motherboard

I think ACIDDRIVE will agree - its a sweet machine.

Just wanted to put a huge thank you out to all the AOers that submitted posts in helping us make build decisions.

did u get a liteon burner. they so cool

also did u get tray or slot?

No litheon burner - sorry - and forgive me - what do you mean about tray or slot?

Cool,

Now you can experience the speed!! I've also started to build my own box. With a ASUS P4PE motherboard; Pentium 4/ 2,4 GHZ with 1024 MB Ram; Geforce 4 Videocard. Hopefully up and running at the end of the Februari. Still looking for a good cooling system.

tray is what most pplz have,
slot mean u put the cd in a hole ot "slot" and the computer eats the cd ... mmmmmmm
like on thoese colorful imacs

That's what I figured you meant - mine's a tray - nothing fancy on the burner - I think I went all out enough on the liquid cooled processor, video card stuff - as long as I can burn stuff at a decent speed, I didn't care too much - I went from a 4X burner to a 24x burner or something like that...so burning a cd in 3 minutes as opposed to 30 minutes was nice.

lol ... yeah burner is burner but slots look so coooooooooool + they not much more xpensive

Cool - eventually, I'll upgrade to a DVD burner - I'll make sure its a slot instead of a tray - just to keep all the techie's happy :)

mmmmmmm dvd burner ... they are about 400AU now. how does that compare with america?
anyway congrats on your system.

Here, they are about 329 US bucks....I'll wait - in one year, they'll be 150.

or i could get ya one from ere =)

Heheh actually they are getting cheap. I just saw the price for one that wsa $250 USD.

But yeah it is a sweet machine, and flys! I still haven't seen it in action with a fully working 8X AGP yet (it was stuck at 4X for awhile for some reason). Well worth it, and got to love the liquid cooled! Mmmmm, I was so happy when I did that. Easy to do, and no problem. Just a little headach with the damn HDD cooler, still think that is a wacked setup that Koolance has for that! And too bad you didn't have enough for a P4 3.06... mmmm

ElRey, it's [shadow]AciDriveHB[/shadow]... hehe, doesn't have two D's and got to add the HB. That way these people know who your partner in crime is ;-)


Note: When we say "liquid cooled" we do not mean water proofing your case and pouring water into it and plugging your computer in. That would be bad! Saw that on one of the tech humor posts a long time ago, someone got pissed off because they killed their computers doing that... didn' tknow what they were doing. :drink:
