My Computer is Finally Ready!!!

b182tm · 06-17-2005, 07:13 PM

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if you could check out my computer, and tell me what you think. Any suggestions? Will it all work? I have about $25.00 to spare. Can I skimp on something to get a better "something else". Is there any hidden costs or anything else I will need? Here It Is
Thanks a ton,
Derek

That takes you to some kind of registration page.

What if you got this 160 GB SATA II drive for $98 instead of the Samsung?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145088

*Please note that the drive is factory configured for 150 MB/sec operation and you need to use Hitachi's Feature Tool software to enable 300 MB/sec operation - this is downloadable from Hitachi's website as either a bootable floppy or an ISO image for a bootable CD*

Oh, and if you can, get a cheap floppy drive too

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16821103202

Also, would this be a cheaper and better DVD burner for you?

Did that link work?

What's better about that hard-drive? (Besides the larger capacity) What's the advantage of SATAII? Also, I am getting a floppy, but from somewhere else later (I have to keep the budget for my parents; When I get cash from my paycheck I'll buy one) Is that DVD drive good enough? It seems kinda cheap to me (I've never heard of the brand)
Thanks,
Derek

SATA II can be a preparation for future (300 MB/s, not 150). As for the DVD burner, the original one seems fine. Just suggestions on price and quality.

Its up to you to decide.

Enjoy your computer
