hello everyone, i'm new to the site, and getting into computers again after i sold my Camaro. Its good to be back, lol
I download alot of stuff, i Currently have 7 hardrives, a total of 1960gb's. I just cant pass up those deals on Outpost.com
Latley i have been toying with the idea of taking most of my hardrives and putting them in a dedicated machine. Nothing too fancy, but it will also be a sort of HTPC, with my Hauppauge 500, and a vid card with s-video out for my TV. I picked out some parts from Newegg, and i was wondering if this is will work. I am blindly brand loyal to AMD and ATI so those are the only choices for me
Here is what i picked out:
MOTHERBOARD: ECS RD480-A939 (1.0) Socket 939 ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 CrossFire ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813135008
VIDEO CARD: MSI RX1600PRO-TD256E Radeon X1600PRO
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814127201
MEMORY: WINTEC AMPO 1GB (2 x 512MB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820161627
PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103533
I already have a Full-tower case with a 500w PSU that i will be throwing everything into, including my SATA controller and Hauppauge 500, but if i am missing anything, or if you think that i made some bad choices please let me know. I've been out of the computer world for about a year and half, while i tried the whole "fast" car thing, so i am kinda out of the loop. I'm on a budget of $450 for everything, so i have about $50 more that i can put into this machine but i'd rather not. Thanks again, and sorry if this post is horribly organized
