My New Computer Concept

XByteComputers · 10-10-2007, 06:33 PM

What does everyone think of the ATI 2600XT. Core clock runs at 800MHz, memory clock at 1400MHz, also supports HD and DX10. I found a nice 8600GT to put in it but the memory clock is 1350MHz and the core clock is 568MHz. Price coming soon for the computer.

The final price of the computer including assembly, testing, etc, with the OS would be $1299.

Here are the specs:

Slim HTPC Case Gaming Case
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz OC'd to 3.4GHz
G.Skill DDR2 800 2GB
500GB SATA Hard Drive
ATI 2600XT 256MB 128-bit GDDR4 with HDMI Output
SATA DVD±RW with Labelflash
Windows Vista Home Premium or Basic(Customer Choice) for DX10 gaming

Let me know what you think

The problem may be with the heat outputted by those components; the ATi card may cause problems in a confined space and compounded with a CPU that's overclocked it'll be like a kiln in a golf ball. Plus the PSU's supplied with cases may not be enough to power a 2600.

Forgot to mention that the PSU is a standard ATX PSU. It is 500Watt Minimum depending on the configuration. Also, the slim case is set up with enough cooling to support the components. It has two silent fans on the sides and one silent fan on the front of the case.

What about one like this the pci-e slot on the one you have says it will run at 8x.
The msi one will run at 16x.
just an idea

I like it and it is a little cheaper than the previous board and has HD audio. Nice and i like MSI too, i just might use that one.

Only drawback is the 4GB support instead of 8GB support, but who is really gonna use that much memory.

That is not a half-bad idea, since it is a computer meant to be hooked to you tv, so why not add the internet card. Now the big decision Wireless-N or Wireless-G?
