Suggestion for my new system

[slinetz]

i wanna build a new system and in budget price
Here is what i think best for my budget

ATX full tower case - 68 from tcwo
20 gig ultra ata 100 7200rpm hd - 95 from tcwo
Gforce 2 Mx- 99 from tcwo
athlon 1.2 thuderbird- 155 from tcwo
asus mother board support DDR - 168 from tcwo
lite on burner 12x10x32 burn proof- 95 + 10 tax + 10 ship newegg.com
toshiba 16x DVD- 75 from tcwo
256 mb DDR ram- 65.69 + 5 shipping at www.crucial.com
heat sink and fan - 9 from tcwo

tcwo is not in CA no tax and shipping 6.5 for under 150 lbs

total is : 68 + 95 + 99 + 155 +168 + 115 + 75 + 71 = 846

Here are the problem i want you guys help:
1.i want to have a nice looking tower case (suggestion any other model ? where to buy?)
2.is it worth to spend 40 more buy a plextor or yamaha burner (16x10x40)
3. Gforce 2 or voodoo 5?
4. anything you see here i can get better price?
5. suggest better default computer with similar price range
6. anyone is selling any of those make an offer.

1) Antec SX1030(B if you want black) -- $89 from techstore.com
2) IMO, yes
3) GeForce2, by all means
4a) Athlon -- buy the 1GHz OEM Axia from newegg.com and overclock it
4b) 256MB DDR PC2100 -- $62 / free shipping -- crucial.com/WEBPROMO
4c) If you're going to get that 1GHz Athlon and overclock, you'll need a better HS/F -- compuwiz-tech.com, plycon.com, 2cooltek.com

do i need extra fan for anything?

 

[nortexoid]

u should have at least 1 exhaust fan...

case: this one

everything else looks fine.

 

[slinetz]

bad thing about that case is, it comes with 250 w power supply and it is only a mid tower

 

[konichiwa]

So buy the case I suggested.

 

[dowxp]

1.case = sx1030b, [onvia] - in stock?
2.plextor - higher resale value
3. GF2 - resale value
4. hard drives -- mwave.com, actually, most of them. go to f/s forum. u'll save ~100.
5. i dunno? pentium? hehe
6. nope sorry.

 

[slinetz]

yap that case is hallow cool
hope shipping won't be much
here the link for case
cool case

 

[nortexoid]

so u didn't scroll down i guess...u can get that case w/ a sh1t load of different PSUs (including enermax, silencer ,etc.)

also, though it is a mid, it is fairly large - plus, full-towers just seem way over-sized...

also, there's a full tower version here

 

[slinetz]

yah u are right.
and i just noticed all of those case does not come with floppy .. damn
it used to come with floppy
