Yet another case build

[board2death986]

Building another new fileserver, since my last one is going to my brother once his new place is done in march (he just got married). So here are some simple specs for the build, feel free to advise any changes, it will be built over time so budget isn't too tight but within reason since this rig won't be pushing too hard and might only be used as a dedicated gaming server at most in the gaming end, nothing more.

Case: Coolermaster Stacker STC101, or 810
Mobo: DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 Ultra ATX Mobo
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester
PSU: SILVERSTONE SST-ST60F 600W
HSF: Zalman 7000cu LED (have spare)
Optical: Memorex 2-Tone IDE DVD Burner (CDRW / DVDRW / DVD-DL)
Ram: DDR 400 PC3200(anywhere between 2 and 4 GB's) thinking corsair but dunno

ill either be sharing my mouse/keyboard setup with my gaming rig, or ill buy

Keyboard: Microsoft Natural 4000 Black Wired Keyboard (I love ergo boards)
Mouse: ??? something mid range, don't need performance

and I already have two Viewsonic VX724's to share between my gaming rig and fileserver, they are sweet ^_^.

Everything looks good.

I would change the DVD burner to Lite-on or Plextor. Its no biggie just not too familiar with Memorex drives and not sure about they quality of them.

BenQ, Lite On, NEC or Plextor over Memorex anyday.

An X2 processor for a file server? A little bit of overkill don't you think?

 

[board2death986]

yea, it definitely is. I will probably end up switching that out with my other rig's P4 3.2ghz.

Been studying... I'd do BenQ or Plextor...
