i have a buddy who works for the navy, and they will give him roughly 2500 to build a workstation with. it is especially cool because they will actually let him build it himself, rather than be forced to buy dell or something. it will be primarily an engineering workstation, but i want to let him play some games on it too, since they let him keep it after his coop is done with.
he already has a 21 inch monitor so that is taken care of, i'd really like to get all the components from the same vendor (like mwave for example) and i want to build an amd based system. p4 machines are not worth the money, and i wont consider one unless there is some crazy price break really soon.
i want to plan this out as if i were buy it today, so please no suggestions on 'if you wait a month...'
i figure i can get him a gig of ddr ram, a 15k rpm scsi drive, 16x scsi plex burner, a big ide hd or two, sblive soundcard, NIC, and of course the fastest tbird available right now.
need suggestions on what to get:
tbird mobo
scsi card
video card
case (i'm thinking large server case, perhaps antec)
