In my honest opinion, this is an excellent price/performance system... let me know what you guys think.. I just whipped her together


AMD Tbird 850@1100 102
Abit Mobo KT7A-Raid 150
Global/WIN FOP32-1 20
256MB CL2 Crucial 120
2-45GB IBM 7200 75GXP 300 (hehe ouch, but I wanted raid)
ATI Radeon 32MB DDR LE 85 (it is kicking ass, I tweaked it, equiv or better scores than 64MB version retail)
Case w/300watt 4fans 60
Sound blaster live value 40

Around 900 dollars... it will out perform most systems I've seen for 1500 dollars.... I've "tweakified" everything 😱)
 
Great system. I have heard though that there has been problems reported with the IBM 46.1 in raid config on the highpoint controller on the ABIT. I think there was a solution though.
I will never buy a SB live again. I have spent countless hours
trying to find reasons for problems that I eventually found out was that crappy boards fault. Downloaded 75 meg of updates total to fix things. Last time windows hanged when I had changed to A CII processor. Go figure what Type of Crappy programming would be processor specific. It sounds good though.....
 
21" Trinitron picked it up used for 150 (sold my 15" for 100, so in essence I upgraded 6 inches for 50 dollars)
