Computer help: What to build next.

Re: What to build next.

I can't think of anything that will fire you up in order to be so giddy with the end-result. You can pretty much build anything with off the shelf componets and those are getting more on the glitzy side as cases are "so cool" now. In other words not you're basic paige box. Look into a new case of your liking with "cooling" potential, proper size, holes, rails, etc. for ease of mounting and placement of fans, HDs the whole 9yds. Then look for the best 400W+, or 500W p/s unit you can afford to make any items you install as stable as possible for operational voltage demands. Remember, "cheap is cheap" if you settle too often on cost the end-result can teach more lessons than you plan on. Decide then on a cpu and the related mtrbd.. Thus, the tasks required should dictate what you need and further make any longetivity plans as long as possible. Your past experience will be handy, in what OS you want too, but a dual cpu makes NT related a must. The AMD 64 cpu is the best they offer and Intel really hasn't come-up with anything solid and good plus is its really for 64-bit now if any s/w becomes offered. That's IMHO about it...

good luck -----Willy
