well what is your budget and what parts do you already have?

 

only 1 7800:down:
and the raptor goes to waste with that hitachi

 

All I am looking for is:

CPU
Mobo
Case
PSU
Videocard


I might have the last 2 covered already. Oh yea, a DVD-ROM drive. Apparently this one just took a shit. And about $400.

 

7800gtx is crazy fast so I only need one. Plus with them being new the prices are still a bit high. If I decide I need another it prolly wont be for a year or so and I can save a lot of money buying it then. But from all the reviews I've read I doubt I will need more than 1. The 7800gtx outpreformes 2 6800 Ultras in most scenerios.

I use the raptor for my operating system and programs and use the hitachi just for storage so it doesn't slow my system down at all. Plus the hitachi is SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ and some tests showed that it may actually be faster than the raptor.

 

ABIT KN8 Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - $98
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BPBOX - $146
ATI RADEON 9800PRO 128M Radeon 9800PRO 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card - $136
LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51BK Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply - $33.99
LITE-ON Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model SOHD-16P9SBLK - $19.99
(you said DVD-ROM and not DVD burner so I assume you already have a burner)

Total = $433.98

I just grabbed this stuff off of newegg. IMHO it would make a pretty good computer for the money.

 

I would get another case and PS. But hmm...not much reviews out for that board yet.

 

yeah, I chose that board because it sounded really good for the price. But I haven't read any reviews on it yet either.

 

didnt even know they made a 4400+

 

wait for dell to have a dell. thats what i do

then sell old comp for a considerable amount on craigslist

 

dell to have a dell? they always have a dell... well sort of it's a JIT system.
