Ark Of Thought Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 My motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot (thanks dell) so I'm buying a new motherboard, case and vid card. My budget is 200$ and this is what I have so far: Ahanix Ultra-compact tower ATX Case Model G20 - Retail 15$ @ New Egg Epox EP-4PEAD Socket 478/ Intel 845PE/FSB 533/8X AGP/Audio/ ATX Motherboard 60.95$ @ House of Computers ATI RADEON 9600 256MB DDR AGP 8X TV OUT / DVI 118.85$ @ House of Computers Is that a smart choice? Do you know of anything cheaper? Thanks!

True Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Too late for my $.02.... should've noticed this earlier. Honestly, if you're not going to be doing any huge math work, you wasted your money. P4/1.8ghz 'eh... You could've had a box at at least 3000+ (should you not mind overclocking) with decent enough video to hold you over until you can get a good card for $200 I dont know... ...to all those who have doubted me...come see me now... Asus A7N8X Deluxe r2.00 / UBER 1007 BIOS Modified AthlonXP 2100+ (1.73ghz) @ 200x11.5 (2.30ghz, ~3000-3200+) 1.85vcore (48c/load diode), SLK-800w/TTSFII 512mb PC3200 DualChannel 11-3-3-2, 2.7vdimm GFFX5200128bit128MB (295/432) 52x32x52CDRW, 160gb Hitachi 7K250 8mb WinXP / Gentoo Dell Inspiron 8000 in good shape, Compaq Presario 1200 12XL500 rigged to all hell 8000: DVD, CDRW, 384mb, 5400rpm 60gb 16mb cache, 1400x1050 15" 1200: CD, 192mb, 20gb, 1024x768 14" At least 6 hours battery time with both Dell C Bays ;], 175w DC to AC car inverter MSI CB54G Cardbus 802.11g, Dell Truemobile 1150 Orinoco Gold 802.11b, modded Tripmate GPS (always on/external power) Custom Spaghettios 26oz Waveguide Directional Tin Can Antenna Don't forget to chalk..
[KFC] Smeg Head Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 U do get some ppl though how aint got a clue on how to overclock their computers. But ive found some srange ppl who decided to have nitro pumped through their comps to make em faster...but then needed a huge coolant system... If u aint living life on the edge, then your taking up too much space.
