I have a Monitor/keyboard/mouse.

Now i dont know if the CPU fan will fit on the q6600 beacause it said it would fit the the Core 2 Duo, but nothing about the quad core. Also I dont know if the CPU Fan and the Video Card will fit inside the case because i read that it was a tight fit and in some cases it did not fit into the Antec 900 Case at all.
Also, do i need 2 500GB HDD, because 1TB of HDD space is a **** load and i dont think i will even use 250GB of HDD space.

Sorry about the long post. ANY COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED, IM A NOOBIE THAT NEEDS ADVICE, PLEASE POST A COMMENT ABOUT ANYTHING!!!

Thank You

Dan

Everything looks good except the PSU from what I've heard their not a very good brand . You should take a look at the PSU recommendation thread before buying the rosewill. Personaly I'd go with a Antec , Themaltake or even a Ultra . The Antec 850 is very good . I am running the Antec 650 with no problems.

ceewe1 lists it on his list, ceewi1's PSU Recommendations

" Silverstone ST75ZF - $119.99 after $40 rebate
Ratings:+3.3V@24A, +5V@30A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@18A, +12V4@18A (Total +12V@60A), -12V@0.5A, +5VSB@3.0A
Comments: An older design from Silverstone, this is nonetheless a top notch server grade unit. A top quality unit at this price, despite the relatively low efficiency."

soory for the crappy copy n paste. lol, but what do you guys think about it, will it work properly?

Thanks

colt1911 · 10-14-2007, 02:30 AM

Everything looks fine and yes the Zalman will work. I'm not trying to talk you out of the Quad core but you do know that the new Intel Quads are coming out soon and that they will be better and run cooler than the Q6600. Just a thought before you spend your money. The Q9450 will be around $316.00 and have 12mb of cache and will be 2.66 instead of the Q6600 2.4.

elitehacker · 10-14-2007, 02:39 AM

I think the Q6600 is still best value for money at the moment. It is just two E6600 stuck together and that is more than enough for a majority of tasks.

Thanks for replying, when will the Q9450's price drop? And how much better is it then the q6600, soory for my lack of knowlage about CPU's. Again THANKS for replying.

Thanks
