    Help needed modifying Silverstone TJ06 to fit DFI mobo

    I am in a bit of a dilemma here. I have this case to build my new nf4 system but I bought it before I realized I would have a problem fitting a heatsink inside the cooling tunnel. This case uses an upside down mobo mounting BTX style with a long cooling tunnel at the bottom running from the...

    Which first: new video card, memory, or mb/cpu?

    I am really not worried about going above $400 -if that is the best plan, otherwise I would like to keep the costs to around that level. Perhaps it would be best to upgrade the CPU/mb and memory and worry about video card later. Also, maybe it would be possible to use my PC2700 memory for now...

    Which first: new video card, memory, or mb/cpu?

    This system needs a little updating, I am on a budget so what should I upgrade first? Also if I need more ram, how do I find ram similar to what I have -Samsung DDR333 PC2700? I am not sure of the quality and shouldn't ram match what is already in there (it is double sided so I think another...

    Well, after more research I am now thinking I will not get above 166 FSB with PC2700. If that is the case the bandwith would be less with a 2.4 P4 533 than with a 2.4 P4 400 FSB given I am using PC2700. Can anyone verify this? If so I may just go with the 2.4 P4 400 FSB Northwood and try running...

    By the way, I recently read that this mb will support 533 FSB processor. Maybe look for 2.4 P4B northwood and oc to 3Ghz +? If so will my PC2700 DDR SDRAM do the job -this would require supporting 183 on FSB clock? I believe this processor is locked at 18 multi so would it be better to look for...

    Jpey, I am trying to keep the cost down to under $600 on this upgrade and salvage some components ie..case, drives, memory etc unless it makes no sense to throw money down the drain.

    First off this is my first visit to this board and you guys are great! I want to build another new AMD system but already have a decent rig that needs a little freshening. Should I just throw another stick of PC2700 in it and look for a faster P4? I think the fastest processor for this board is...
