Need some input here...

OK folks... I am planning on putting together a new system. Here are the parts I've decided on. Offer criticizm, praise, etc. Also, if you notice any incompatabilites, please point them out.

AMD 1.3GHz T-Bird (which will be overclocked)
Epox 8k7a mofo, er, mobo
512 MB of PC2100 Crucial DDR ram (which will, again, be overclocked/have its settings messed with)
LeadTek Winfast GeForce 2 PRO (already own this)
A case & power supply, depending on responses to this thread (please comment in this thread if you happen to read it).
60mb Maxtor harddrive (again, I already own it, so I'll be sticking to it)
USR Modem (not sure of exactly which kind, but something)
Toshiba 16X DVD
Plextor burner (not sure which "X" I will get)

I've probably forgotten something, but at any rate, how does this system look?

TGHH

Looks like you left off sound card, and cd/DVD drives, but you might already have all of that. You also omitted your NIC. Avoid Netgear FA311-313. Your choices look great. why does the modem have to be US robotics? I have only had one of thier modems, but that experience was not any good and they just seem overpriced, but it's your choice...

Then you'll probably want the BigMoFoHo from 3dfxcool, too.
Oops, they're apparently called 1coolpc now.

NelsonMuntz:Ah yes... I will be getting a Toshiba DVD drive and a Plextor burner. Sound card will probably be the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. NIC I will take care of at a later date. I happen to have a spare USR modem sitting here, so I figured that I may as well use it.

WhatWasIThinking: How much does this &quot;MoFoHo&quot; go for?

Nice setup -- you may try the Epox 8K7A+. The extra RAID ports come in handy so you can set the DVD and CD-RW as masters on IDE 1 and 2.

 

[WhatWasIThinking]

About 20 bucks, I think. There's a LittleMoFoHo too.

Great names (they're cpu coolers). I wonder if anyone has ever ordered one and expected &quot;something else&quot;.

Sorry to bump folks, but I'd like some more feedback.
