Hi Reebdoog,

The IDE Hard Drive and Floppy cables should come with the motherboard, and there should be cables with the DVD and CD Drives... I would say that You don't need to buy any cables.

However, you didn't mention whether you have a Power Supply with your case?

 

[Reebdoog]

yes a psu is included with the case

 

[ElFenix]

newegg refurb?

 

[vaporize]

where did you find this stuff?

17 bucks for 512 mb pc3200 kingston ram?

53 dollars for 128 mb radeon 9500?

$76 for ASUS A7N8X?

 

[Reebdoog]

no the price is underneath the item, lol

 

[DAPUNISHER]

where's the hard drive? Gonna use a Floppy? Aready have a keyboard and mouse? I take it you have an O.S. to go on there already as well?

 

[Corporate Thug]

if your planning on ocing that oc, dont get ram that is CL3. go with hyperX or XMS

 

[Reebdoog]

^^^

I dont know what you mean by that.

 

[Corporate Thug]

the ram is pc3200 so it's not bad, but i would spend a little more and get XMS or something of the like that can do Cas 2

 

[Reebdoog]

alright I added the ram, it was a great suggestion, heres my setup now.

looks good, what Gfx card?

 

[Chobits]

I have those speakers and my friend they are NOT worth 75 dollars. You are better off with the Logitech Z650s (or 560s? Who know ). They ARE worth the 29.99 I paid for them on Black Friday but I truly beleive that they are not worth the price you are goint to pay

Also I'm assuming you already have the other parts that are not listed, but plunk the extra 18ish dollars and get the 80 gig Western Digital SE with the 8 meg buffer...

 

[Reebdoog]

I'm not getting a gfx card for now, it will have to wait because I dont have the money, plus I head the A7N8X has very good onboard.

Chobits, I'll take your advice on the speakers and HD. thanks

Anyone know which fan I should get?
