BoobieCootie 0 #27 March 6, 2003 Have you considered getting an eMac perhaps? It costs less than all the gizmos, it's already assembled, and it comes with lots of software ready for you to start working on video ++. Add 2 built-in firewire ports and now you're cooking with natural gas! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #28 March 6, 2003 QuoteChemming X-spider case Athlon 2600+ 333FSB 512 PC3200 Corsair XMS Asus a7n8x Deluxe MB (drooooooooool) I'd LOVE to get a GeForceFX 5800 Ultra but I might settle for a ti4200 Volcano 9+ Fan with the CoolMod Taking over my 2 80gig drives and CD stuff. Sitting on my floor right now: Athlon 2400+ 512 PC2700 Crucial, x2 Asus A7N8X Deluxe Radeon 9700 Pro 128 Some random case I found locally, but it's way nice. I'm putting it together for a friend. Having random read/write errors, it's driving me nuts. The only thing I haven't tried changing is the memory, and that's just because I don't have any spares at the moment. Looks like I'm off to make a memtest86 boot disk. You're right though, the a7n8x looks totally sweet. I just haven't been able to get an OS to install to test it out.

AggieDave 6 #29 March 6, 2003 Phree, You need to get Malachi (FlyingFerret) to PM you pics of his case. He's totally modded it out, really really nice stuff.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPD had CAS latency at 2.5 (and so did the label on the DIMM), but it needs an even 2 to run stable. Windows works great, the graphics smoke. Linux support is a little goofy. Audio kinda works. nV ethernet works, 3com doesn't. DMA on the drives doesn't work. All of that can be fixed with a kernel upgrade, no sweat. But what is driving me nuts, AGP only works with nVidia cards, so I am stuck using the awesome power of the 9700 in Vesa mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TB99 0 #38 March 9, 2003 I think BestBuy will pricematch it to $300 if you show them that they're selling it for that price! Try that out! If there isn't a store near you, check out http://www.bestbuy.com ... I think they pricematch on their online site too! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!
