[Qwertyman]

looks delicious. might want to get a bigger power supply, but i doubt it.

 

[Major_A]

Might I suggest you get a SATA HDD with a 8MB buffer instead.

 

[Mightymouse]

difference between the 8mb buffer of a IDE hard drive and a SATA that is 20 dollars more?

 

[L0s7 4 Lyf3]

Do you really need a floppy drive?

I'd suggest Corsair, Kingston, or Crucial RAM instead of Kingmax.

That power supply could use a few more watts, get at least a 400 for an A64 setup. That power supply also puts out a few less amps than would be recommended for your system.

Everything else looks good.

 

[ninethreeeleven]

I'll save you 10 dollars...http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=21-152-005&depa=0

it also comes in beige.

 

[Qwertyman]

just go with ide, no big difference and an easier setup. get a floppy drive, its cheap anyway and you'll find that you'll need it every once and a while, especially with drivers such as sata.

 

[ninethreeeleven]

get a bigger PSU...

$55

or

$45
This has high(er) amp ratings
or

$56.50 (more than enough power / amps )

 

[Mightymouse]

i guess i'll save 10 dollars on that floppy and use it to get a bigger psu

 

[stumpy]

350W is plenty for that setup, however if you plan on adding anything (like a 12V water pump) you may want to look at getting something bigger. I wouldn't bother with a floppy drive, but that's your choice. And I'd look at some different RAM, Kingston and Corsair are good brands. Proc and motherboard look great though.

 

[DryFire]

still looks fine from the post you made on tf.
