Looks as good as any, really. Hopefully you don't have mobo problems. Not that I think you will, the majority of people don't.
 
Looks pretty sexy my friend. You should have him get a little larger drive though. Im hurting now on a total of 95 GB, but then again I'm a media freak. Mmmmmm, full movies....... yummy.
 
thanks...preciate peeps...I hope the MB holds...but then again...for 60 bucks....you just can't beat that..

How much did the mainboard and the case go for?
 
Hopefully you get one of the newer rev. mobos and won't have to deal with rash of bad cmos batteries...Either way it is an easy diagnos and real cheap to get new battery....

I would avoid lingston ram and get crucial....get it and say you are a member at anandtech and get 15 percent off...I also think they still have free shipping and it usually 2-3 days...
 
Looks like a good system. I have had the ECS board for a couple months, and have zero problems with it. I am using the onboard sound, and it is bearable. Sounds good but does pause for a sec in heavy gaming. I would definatly go with crucial for the memory, you won't regret it. Plus I would throw in a normal cdrom or dvd drive for normal use. This setup is almost identical to mine, and it is a solid machine that runs 24/7. I have yet to find out what a win2k bluescreen looks like 🙂
 
thanks peeps...I can always count on you guys to give good advice..as far as the crucial ram...Im too late...already ordered the Kingston....will it be that bad? And I'll recommend a regualr CD rom since this is a business machine...not much gaming..

Thanks for your input!

Very nice system, excellent price I'd say. Much cheaper than what I always end up pricing!

Hope you have as good luck with the K7S5A as most people and don't have problems like some.
