I will hopefully be putting together the following machine over the next month. Any feedback on my choices is greatly appreciated!
Asus A8N-Deluxe
Lian Li PC-V1000 Aluminum case http://www.silverpcs.com/product/CS_PCV1000B
ENERMAX Noisetaker AX ATX12V Ver 2.0 485W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-103-458&depa=0
Athlon 64 3200+
512MBx2 Mushkin PC3200 2.5-3-3
74GB Raptor
Geforce 6800GT PCIE
Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
Pioneer DVR-108
Some floppy drive
Looks like this will be in the neighborhood of $1700, give or take a c-note with price flux and rebates.
I'm still up in the air on the Audigy 2 Value vs. ZS Gamer, but that's more a question of luxery than anything. I'm also wondering if it's justifiable to go to a 3500+ (the 3800 is just too much). It sounds like it isn't worthwhile to up the RAM in speed. Also not too sure on the DVDRW.
Thanks!
