Check if you can get the 7200.8 or 7200.9 for the aroudn the same price more than 10$ isnt worht it tough.

And Motherboard, I suggest Epox
<A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2465&p=28" target="_new">Anandtech Review</A>
MSI finished 3rd in their roundup, so if the price difference is big keep it but I suspect the epox to be close to this price!

[Guest]

But yeah otherwise half of forum would suggest soemthing along those line for this price!

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, MSI 6800Ultra stock, 2X30gig Raid0

 

[dunklegend]

The Epox is like $105 but I think it's worth it.

[dunklegend]

He said he was on a budget.
And the stuff he chose is not that bad, is not the best but for the money are good choices.

[bobwya]

I am sorry but I just find aluminum easier to drill into than steel...

(OK maybe I'll shut up now 🙂

[dunklegend]

Don't worry.
It's a public forum and you're voicing your opinion there's nothing bad with that.
Keep reading you'll learn a lot and if you feel that you have something valuable for the community either an opinion or some good info, don't be afraid to post.

[the_Prisoner]

I don't have a problem with steel cases, they cost less! hehe
I don't move my computers around much and since they just sit under my desks who cares?

Like DH said, don't be afraid to express your opinion, just try to add something helpfull.(not a flame)

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not a number, I'm a free man! 😡

 

[dunklegend]

Were there any for the NEC 3520A?
That's the one I have right now.
Links?
