Sycamore's New Computer

Let's talk about this here.

Here's what I suggest, why, and prices.

Case - Enlight Model# EN-7150AP - Nice looking case, cheap, and will have enough PSU power for this system. $36

CD-ROM Drive - Lite On Model LTN-526 - Cheap, but good drives. No need for DVD-ROM drive since he wouldn't want to watch DVDs on his shitty computer monitor, I'm sure. $19

CPU - AMD Athlon XP 1700+ - the 2000+ isn't that much faster and costs a bit more. This is cheap, super fast (compared to what he's used to) and cheap. That's important. $42

CPU HSF - Thermaltake Volcano 5. Great quality, low price. $4.75

Hard drive - Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM Model # 6E040L0. What's he got now, like 2 gigs? What will he ever do with such a vast hard drive? 30 gig drives are a good $8 cheaper but hey, why not splurge? $60.

RAM - Crucial CT6464Z265 512MB PC2100 DDR stick. Duh. $61.99

Motherboard - Asus A7N266-VM AA. I've built two systems around these (and recommended it to Bryan as well). It's cheap, it's got built-in video that's good, built-in ethernet, built-in sound (that's also very good), fits in a small case... the bonuses are many. Great motherboard. Works flawlessly with RH9. $70.99

So there, without modem and including shipping, I've got a price of $317.73. That ain't too fuckin' bad, considering it's a pretty decent system. Tony's gonna throw in a CD-RW drive, I will throw in system build if so desired (that includes a super neat job of the cables with tie wraps and everything!) and I can probably dig up a modem. Great, huh?

What do you think, The Tone? I have a great idea.

You guys could come down one Saturday, and I've already got all the components. We eat Chipotle for breakfast, work on computer. Joe's for lunch, finish work on computer (dual boot RH9 and XP, maybe?). Eat <b>MOTHER FUCKIN' PAD GAI!</b> for dinner, and send you guys off. Oooooooh.
