Hi tac ,finaly i got a pc of my dreams:-) but it cost me over 5000$ and is it on Non intel base and modest 19 monitor
anyway AMD Tbird is the best
any Geforce 2 gtx ultra or pro <beter price from Ge 3 > and mostly same output
DDR ram will rule the world
if u chose DDR ram a recent MB With VIA chipset
nothing like a SB live platinum on the world :-)
512MB of DDR ram will be inaf for next 6 month after u can go higher hope prices go more down
HD IBM made very fast and big drives they turn 7200 rpm and are ata100
about DVD pioner is the most renomed
if u have inaf $ buy the pioner DVD burner if not needet any burnprof CD writer is comfortable
a solid tover with minimum 300W is necesery i use 350 W
nothing like a creative soround 5.1 3500 and it kick as of the THX with SB platinum combo
kayboard ? i broke every 12 month 1 so i dont care i change them all the time
mouse the only thing what fom micro$soft is useful is a optical mouse
win me is a turd think but with time is posible tune to be stable
my prefered is the IIyama monitors extra flat trinitron got only 19 but maybe 1 day going for 22
the stick combo stil the old CH force FX pro trotle and pro pedals only was necesery to change all the puters after long time finaly find a heavy duty ceramic puters from
aerospatial industry ( thx to a frend who work for Alcatel satelite industry ! )
and i em hapy mostly got also happauge DVB _s cart it can recive data for download with speed who rarely go below 5mb/s !!! but modem still necesery mean clasic modem that was only my problem , nobady in last time produce recent PCi internal modem but the solution is on the way
i sugest chose the best product and not chose be prefered productor , nobady is perfect and especialy not the intel or any Pc asembler company
cya
