Hi all,
I've decided to upgrade my PC and thought I'd finally bite the bullet
and build my own but I could do with a little advice.
Mostly I'm having trouble choosing a midi case: looking at dabs.com you
can get 400w atx midi cases for anything from £20 to £200 (about
$30-$300 i think). I don't really have much idea about the differences
here. Can anyone recommend a good quality (but cheap ;-) ) case? Or at
least what to look out for?
I also would quite like to hear any comments/suggenstions on my proposed
system:
Case?
MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor (separate fan probably thermaltake)
Crucial 512mb PC3200 DDR memory (possibly x2)
ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb graphics card (I do like gaming, so let me know
if this is not a good choice)
160gb western digital caviar hard drive
LG dvd+/-rw dual format
Undecided about modem - need it to be linux compatible
logitech wireless mouse and keyboard
17" TFT screen probably benq or prolite
Thanks in advance for any advice or comments,
Hazel
