Linux Workstation PC

[roninblade]

Im looking to start getting into linux agian and i need to build another pc for that, i have around $600 to spent, which includes the monitor. i was thinking just making a SFF. Any suggestions

i was thinking, why not just take my setup i have now , P4P800 2.4B, 512x2 Mushkin, 9800 XT, and use that as my unix server, so now instead ill be building a new setup for around $600. Might need to make a bigger budget

This new setup going for linux or windows...or both?

 

[roninblade]

just linux

what parts are you needing?

well since im just going to get a whole new system im looking for suggestions on nf4 mobos, i dont really want sli because i dont think i will need it, i guess X800XL is a hell of a card so if theres any good buys on that, 1GB of ram will meet my needs, i already have a hard drive so no need for that.

if i get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152R does it mean it wont come with the audio jacks, so ill have to find them somewhere else or buy another sound card, also how can this modded to the SLI version with SATA 300 if it only has SATA 150 Plugs? Thanks

if you're going to use that strictly as a server.. I'll trade you a GeForce2 for that 9800TX.. otherwise it will be such a waste..

when you say workstation that would mean...

just a linux comp that will only be a linux comp, but now im thinking it will be easier just to use the computer i have now for linux and just get a whole new computer most gaming for under $600

This should fit your bill almost perfectly.
