New Computer Specs

By jbreland , 15 March 2007
Update: 03/26/2007 05:03 I finally selected a data hard drive - the WD drive ended up beating out the Seagate based on some performance and acoustic reviews. I also changed my case selection from the Cooler Master Centurion 532 to the Gigabyte Poseidon GZ-XA1CA-STB. The Gigabyte seems to be a bit sturdier based on reviews, and also includes a rear 120mm fan (unlike the Cooler Master case). And with that, I'm done! Thanks to everyone that provided feedback. I'm going to unsticky this post as soon as I order the parts. Update: 03/24/2007 15:05 I have nearly all components picked out. The only things left to do are decide on one of the three data hard drive choices and choose a rear cooling fan (which really shouldn't be too difficult). After that, it's time to spend some money! :-) Last call for comments if anyone has other suggestions... I'm currently researching components for a new computer. Here's what I've decided on so far. Any comments or suggestions? Motherboard ASUS P5B Deluxe, based on Intel P965 chipset - Newegg CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - Newegg Video Card e-GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Superclocked - Newegg Memory G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ, 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) (x2) - Newegg Hard Drive System drive: Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD - Newegg Data drive: Western Digital RE2 WD5000YS - Newegg Optical Drive Samsung SH-S183L SATA DVD/CD burner - Newegg Power Supply Corsair HX620W or HX520W (depends on power requirements) - Newegg Case Gigabyte Poseidon GZ-XA1CA-STB - Newegg Network Switch 3com OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch 16 - Newegg Monitors Undecided if I will purchase new monitors If reused - ViewSonic G220fb (x2) Network Interface Card Integrated Dual Gigabit LAN controllers, Marvell PCI-E and PCI Sound Card Reused - Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2, plus integrated ADI AD1988B 8ch HD Audio Input Devices Reused - Logitech Elite keyboard, Logitech MX1000 mouse
