Over the last few weeks i have been buying new parts to upgrade the old system i had, i ended with this:
P4 3.2 gig Prescott
1 GB (4 x 256MB) Corsair XMS PC4000 DDR 500 Memory (Running in Dual Chan Mode)
MSI 875P Neo FISR MoBo
AKASA king Copper 901XT CPU Cooler
ThermalTake Xaser V Damier V6000A Case
Enermax 460W PSU
I'm planning on phasing out 2 of my 160 Gig IDE drives and installing 2 250 Gig WD Serial ATA drives along with a decent (ATI) graphics card- the Nvida FX series just don't impress me at all TBH. Am also looking at the ThermalTake Silent Pure Power 550 W PSU, simply because the Enermax doesnt have enough 4 pin power outlets.
Can anyone think of anything else i can do with it?
On a side note, the ThermalTake case looks extremely nice BUT the 5 fans and the fan/temperature display module are a pain in the donkey. The cables will NEVER look neat untill i start hard wiring them with a soldering iron and while the side mounting internal HDD bays look good they are a pain in the donkey to get IDE cables to- hence the move to serial ATA drives.
