I'm looking at an P4 3.4 processor and at least 1GB PC4200 RAM.
I'm going to use an older BFG 5600/256mb video card I have lying around and 2 WD 74GB Raptors in RAID 0 with a 300GB/16MB Maxtor for storage.
I'm going to use the E-Mu 1820 firewire card/breakout box and Behringer powered monitor speakers.
Any suggestions on a nice stable MB?
I was looking at the ASUS P4C800-E.
Also I'm wondering about the best case/quiet ps/cooling solution for an ultra-quiet rig.
I'll be using rubber connectors for the fans, hard drives, etc. and those little footies and will probably install vibration dampening mats as well.
I'd prefer to find some solution so quiet I can only tell it is on by feeling for the hard drives vibrations.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Price isn't so much an issue as performance and reliability... I'm thinking up to $200 for the case/ps combo and up to $100 for the cooling solution.
Thanks
Brett
