Hard drive choice....and everything else so far seems ok to me.

 

[Belloni]

Get a couple of smaller drives and RAID 0 them - mucho bettero

Even a couple of Raptors if he can afford - and then one slave drive, or a couple of 74Gb raptors... LIGHTNING quick!

I know NOTHING about all that RAID 0 stuff m8 soz !!! lol :$ Or raptors ... sure he won't mind with just NORMAL hard drives ?! lmao

So is that harddrive ok ?!

 

[Alf]

Raptors are the harddrives that have 10,000 rpm speed (compared to a "normal" 7,200), very fast boot up speed but max storage of 75GB but thats around $200 (100 pounds)!

 

[Belloni]

Oh i see now !!! Oh he won't care about the boot up speed lmao

I will purchase the harddrive i mentioned then Wooo haha

Can't wait to start building Going to buy graphics card and the rest once other money has been handed over !!!

5 things to be brought i think then !

 

[Alf]

What kind of Graphic card were you thinking of?

 

[Belloni]

I was thinking the -

HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X800 XT ICEQII 256MB DDR3 VIVO TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (RX800XT-VICEQ) (GX-022-HT)

BEAST of a card i think ALL of you wil agree !!!

That certainly is a beast of a card, but if your looking at the top end of the grapics range, why not push the boat out a little further and get a X850

 

[Belloni]

kk Might do that lol

Thanc for ya help guys !!! HOpe he is a happy customer coz that to me is one hell of a pwerful pc !!!!

To be honest, this is the first forum i have ever joined and participated in, and I wanted to get a feel for how they work, as I'm building one for my university society. It's great here, you're all really friendly. It is good that we can all share our opinions and learn new stuff from each other. I would love for my forum to have such a great community when we get it up and running.

Err - i believe theres a PE version of that card thats even FASTER!!

But yeah go for the X850 XT PE - it's the best ATI card out at the moment... Definatly get it.
