What to do while I wait ?

[TomFool]

Just received all my goodies for my new rig.

Asus P4C800E Deluxe
P 4.3c Northwood
Gig of OCZ Rev. 2 PC4000 2.5-3-3-8
SB Audigy 2 ZS
Plextor 712-A
Plextor Prem.- BPS
2 74 gig Raptors
Logitech Z-680 spkrs
Zippy Keybrd
Razer mouse
Blue Aspire SuperAlien Case (stop laughing, I like it) w/500watt psu
WinXp Pro
1 Good ol Floppy
Already have NEC FP2141

"NO VIDEO CARD YET" I want Asus X800XT PE or Asus 6800 Ultra, whichever I can
lay my hands on first .

MEANWHILE should I just stare at the parts and wait, or should I buy a cheapo vid card
so I can build my rig, and then toss the cheapo in a drawer when I get the Asus.

If You say get the cheapo (50-60 bucks), then which cheapo vid card would you get ?

omg p4 4.3??!?! where can i get one!?


anyways, i would use some crappy old video card just so that i could at least use the computer and test out its speed and make sure everything is working well together(it looks like it will to me)

just toss something you have laying around in there for now? or if you dont have something laying around look for a ti-4200 or a fx5200, or a gefore 4 mx440 any of those would work for most games until you get your uber high end card.


/me drool over your new rig. nice choices

oops ! Just saw that. haha, "4.3c" does sound good though. I guess the 3.4c will do for now! Thanks for you input.
