New Computer

[Mike15262]

I'm in the process of building a new computer, I would like any suggestions/comments on the parts I've picked so far.

Abit KT7 Slot A
AMD Duron 800
KDS 17inch Monitor
PC133 CAS3 - 256MB
Maxtor 15.2GB EIDE
Creative Labs Geforce Annihilator Pro 32mb DDR

Thanks for the help.

go w/ the msi k7t pro2a. if you need an isa slot go w/ the abit i guess

ditto with Shu8, go for the MSI. If you're into oc'ing.. get the Duron 700 and oc it instead (u save more $$$ that way.. plus it oc's better than the 800 at this range)

for your hdd, get the Quantum AS series.. u can get it for around $109 shipped from Buy.com (After coupon and Mail in rebate - check out the Hot deals forum for more info)

Just for reference the Abit K7T is socket A not slot A Duron's only take socket A.

i think you should go w/ the 45gb ibm 75gxp from buy.com using a coupon for $140. you can probably get the 30gb for 10-15 bucks cheaper?

edit: the ibm is 7200rpm and ata/100. it's very reliable, quiet, and fast. make sure you don't get the oem version
