1.4ghz AMD with 266FSB DDR
512 megs DDR2100 RAM
GFORCE 2 64 megs
17" monitor
mouse/keyb
60 gig 7200RPM HDD
300Watt AMD certified
Heatsink
CD Burner
DVD
SBLIVE 5.1
All for around $1200
1200 sound like a ripoff, i payed half that for the complete box with no monitor by searching through...
www.pricewatch.com total with the geforce 64 ddr included was only a few dollars more than the 32mb tnt2 card the system normally comes with so I took it because they dont ship the box with no video card in it and I have no need for a tnt2 32mb card.
Also I chose the 30 gb seagate 7200 RPM ultra ATA100 hard drive over the 40 gb 5400rpm hard drive the system normally comes with at no extra charge because I dont need 40 gigs and I listenned to you dweebs about getting the 7200 rpm hard drive.
I asked the salesman to verify the components of the computer...
AMD K7 tbird 1.4ghz,
asus A7A 266ALI DDR/SDRAM ATX mother board,
cooler master fan for socket A CPU,
visiontek gf2 ultra 64ddr,
512mb PC2100 DDR ECC ram,
30 gig Seagate 7200 RPM Ultra ATA/100 hard drive,
Sony dvd-rom,
sounblaster live,
ethernet card,
enlight 300w power supply,
and a 3 year warranty.
the thing i liked most about this computer is that as far as I can tell with my limited computer knowledge everything in it is a component with good quality.
but only time will tell
asus motherboards are also my favorite because I've been using asus in my current p3 computer for years and it has run flawlessly.
I am interested in putting a very good heat sink /fan kit in this computer after it arrives on wednesday if the one it comes with doesn't seem powerful enough. can anyone direct me to a good site with rediculously powerful heatsink fan kit?
the only thing I dont like about AMD is the heat they give off. heat is bad
