I'm fairly experienced at computers and hardware, but have never before ventured in to the area of building my own PC, mostly cause I didn't have the cash. Well now, I'd like to build my own. I'd like it to be easily upgradable and be able to support me for a long time.
Please give me any comments on this setup and any ways I can make it better/cheaper/faster/etc...
Motherboard: Asus K7V
Memory: 128MB Mushkin Budget PC133
Floppy: Teac FD-235HF 1.44MB
Hard Drive: IBM 75GXP 30GB
CD/DVD: Toshiba SD-R1002 CD-RW/DVD
Case: Enlight EN-7237
Video Card: Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 32MB
Processor: AMD Athlon K7 700MHz
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer
Modem: Hawking 56K PCI
OS: Quadruple Boot WinME(Games)/Linux/BeOS/Win2KPro
Monitor: KDS 17" 1288x1024
Speakers: Klipsch ProMedia
Is this a fairly good setup? I'd appreciate any feedback, particularly on the motherboard, RAM and the AMD processor and how they work together. I've tried to find some of the cheapest prices by looking on pricewatch and ibuyer.
Please ICQ/private message/reply with any comments.
Thanks,
