Parts for my new build where shipped from newegg yestarday. The goodies arrived today, and the case will be here tomorrow.
AMD Opteron 144 CACJE
2GB G Skill RAM 2.5-3-3-6
EPOX 9NPA3-Ultra mobo
NEC Black DVD Burner
AS5 Thermal Paste
It's my first build since a K6-3 400 (oc'd to 450!) over 5 years ago!
For now I'm going to run it off a PCI (not pci express) geforce 2 mx 400 card
and a IDE 20 gb hard drive for a few weeks till I get another pay check. I could have finished it off now, but I didn't want to bitchslap my bank account too hard.
This is the case I ended up getting.
Plain Case
Some of the goodies.
I can't wait to overclock this
I really like the right angle SATA cables this came with.
This all set me back about $550, and add in that the cost of a nice video card ($300) and hard drive ($100) and I think this was quite a deal. Now I've got to wait for the case!
