Author Topic: Anyone dreaming about their 2003 system? (Read 1307 times)

Booky · « **on:** December 13, 2002, 03:28:03 AM »

I am:D

This is what my dream has listed so far.

-2GHz Clawhammer, motherboard undecided yet. Cooling undecided.

-1GB PC2700, or 4200 depending on performance difference in sync vs async.

-CD-RW drive (time will tell its speed)

-Two 40GB SATA drives, if they make 40's otherwise next step up.

-GeforceFX

-Audiogy2

-Antec PLUS1080AMG case with Antec 430W PS.

-Maybe WIN XP, or WIN98SE duel boot with WIN2K.

So far thats what I am looking at. I left out the little things like floppy and whatnot, but you get the jist.

I plan to build in June, hope all this is ready by then and not too dammaging to pocketbook:eek:

Post your dream system......

do you have the 2002 dreaming system ?

It would be more compatible with my budget

Couple weeks ago I took out 1,4GHz Athlon CPU from my computer and dropped 2,0GHz XP2400 in.
Next step was kicking the FSB up and voila; SiSoft sandra thinks it's XP2800 with 2,3GHz.

CPU was 230€ here = cheapest upgrade I've ever done.

I have a couple of different directions I'd like to go in for dream systems:

Server/Router:

1) A micro box similar to this micro pc from Jadetec.

or

2) A wireless intel router

or

3) A dual Xeon 2800 system with a Supermicro Motherboard.

For fun:

A P4-3.08 with a Radeon 9700pro.

I've kept it to processors that actually exist.

Sweet CPU/video card combo Deja. I am right there too. Already have the video card, just waiting a bit and keepin my fingers crossed for Christmas.

Deja, on yer router, why not build one from an older CPU? Pretty trivial to setup these days.

I did this with Linux and an old 600Mhz P3 system. Works like a champ with near wire speed throughputs and balanced I/O.

I have a dual XEON 400 that I currently use... its not a problem at all.

What I would like is something that has the capability of running a game server or two from the modern stuff.

It will have to be somewhat up to speed, but not overlblown. The ones listed here were just "dream" systems to do the job;)

Easy to do Minus....

O4Pro AMD / Magnum 390 watercooling kit:

* Magnum 390 copper block for CPU,
* Black Ice Pro radiator
* 120mm Titan fan for radiator
* 120mm finger cover (Laser cut if you like)
* 10/12,5mm hose 2meters, silicone or PVC
* 4x hose tightener (or whattaheckisthatinenglish, clamper?),
* T-adapter
* Titan silver paste
* O4Pro shimm anonized aluminium.
* 3-pin. voltage regulator 12 V -> 9,5 V
These with Hydor Selz L20 SE waterpump 167,9 € or with
Eheim 1048 waterpump 198.4 €

options:
-voltage regulator 12v->9,5 to Zalman Fanmate +7€
-chipset block 37,7€
-GPU block for Gf4 41,8€
- watercontainer O4Pro WaCo for HYDOR Selz L 20X, O4Pro se60 x 100 x 83 mm + 49.9 €
- watercontainer O4Pro WaCo 1e for EHEIM 1046/1048 60x100x83 mm + 49.9 €
- watercontainer O4Pro WaCo 2e, Rev. 1.1 for EHEIM 1046/1048 100x100x83mm + 56.9 €

Only special parts you would need are blocks (copper is must, do not use aluminium) and radiators.
Copper block for CPU = 60€
Radiator 60-100€ depending the size, I'm using 150x128x25mm Blackice Pro, 60€

Other parts can be found from aquarium shops (waterpumps, Eheim is good) and computershops.

If you wish I can ask if they could send parts to France, they're sending lots of stuff to Germany already. That company is only 5km from where I live and I visit there almost every week.

A good cheap radiator is a 68-69 Camaro Heater core. About $19 U.S., but I do not know how you might get one in Germany.

My system...

I've been playing with a thought of rebuilding the watercooling system with some Hi-tech parts like steel hoses which are used in rallycars and airplanes but being a lazy person as I am... maybe later

Staga · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2002, 03:16:27 PM »

Some ppl here use parts from Ford Sierra and other cars, thought they usually need to weld smaller in/out water connectors to them and I heard they're not as effective as radiators specially made for computer use are.

btw that case is Thermaltake Xaser 5000+, basically factory modded Antec. Earlier comp-case was Enlight and only modifications I had to do is make the blow-hole on the left sidepanel bigger.
