Re: New PC Build (slightly OT)

Consider DDR RAM (you seem to need an AMD or SIS735 chipset to take full advantage of this thought).  See last weeks posts on the subject.

 

I have the 5400 RPM version of the IBM 40 gig and it seems good so far.

 

Check prices on ebuyer.com before ordering.

Subject: [ukha_d] New PC Build (slightly OT)

I’m thinking of building a couple of new PC’s for home

One as my main Machine running XP

The other running 2000 pro as a webserver/terminal server/ ACE/Homevision etc

 

But before I jump any comments

I’m looking at scan (Haven’t spoken to anyone yet)

Abit KT7-A-RAID Socket A KT-133A without Audio

1.4GHz (266fsb) AMD Athlon SoA CPU

512Mb SDRAM PC-133 (64x4)

41.2Gb IBM Deskstar 60GXP ATA-100 (8.5ms 2MB Cache 7200rpm)

+ assorted goodies

Must have 1 ISA slots for my serial extender card

 

Any comments on cases and PSU

The scan one for £35 seems cheap wats the catch ?

They also have an aluminium one for £169 so I’m a bit confused

 

or can someone recommend a good newsgroup for PC builds etc

 

Thanks

 

Mike
