Well once again it's time to deploy, and my original plan was to take just my laptop with me, but then Oblivion came out and I want to play it on full details there. Then I remembered about those mini-shuttle type cases with the built in mobo...any experience with those things guys?
looking at a few shuttle boxes for now
Also none of them say that they support Opteron, or is opteron considered a A64 s939 cpu?
I already have a beefy desktop (a64 4000+,2gb ram, 7800gtx), and my laptop's not too shabby either, so I'd like to keep this on a under $1k budget. I'd rather keep my mainbox intact. I already have a 17' LCD which I'll ship there on a boat.
If the Opteron works with these, what do you suggest? I am not very well versed on Opterons but I know they OC real well without any added heat (which is a plus in a tiny case).
Looking at a Geforce 7900GT for a video card, but once again heat is an issue and so is size...I'm not too familiar with these cards yet, but I did hear that they consume a lot less power then the 7800 models if I'm not mistaken.
I won't be deploying for a few months(fall) still but I'd like to put this together sometime next month.
Hoping for:
A64 4000+ or equivalent CPU (overclocked Opteron to save $ perhaps?)
2gb ram
7900GT or equivalent video card
Basically whatever you guys can recommend will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
