Now, besides a case, what do i need to make this thing run?

I don't know anything about hard drives. That's the only thing i diddnt research.


Which types do i need? Which types can I run?

Do I need more parts? NIC cards? Etc?


This will be my first build, thanks in advance.

 

For that nice of a build, you'll probably want a SATA drive. Look for deals on SATA from B&M stores, as they're usually pretty darn cheap after rebates.

The mobo has onboard LAN, so you won't need a NIC. Everything else looks pretty good.

meaning the 3.0Gb/s?


I don't need a "controller card" or anything it will just plug right in?

Yup, your mobo supports SATA II, so 3.0Gb/s will work just fine.

 

[RyanW2050]

Ok, so i can get any type?

ATA 150

ATA 100

300mb/s



I really don't know the diffrences.

 

[quackerww]

SATA II best

 

[RyanW2050]

So SATA II = 3.0gb/s?

NOT the IDE ULTRA ATA 100/133
or
Serial ATA 150?

real world speed-wise they are all basically the same, but i suggest you get the newest thing out there which is SATA II, and youre correct about your first statement.

Also i believe monarch has the DFI board for about $10 cheaper.

EDIT: $120.50 shipped
