2. Well the Flytek Matrix2 Machine had the following, but since you don't want ram and HD it'll obviously cost less...
Antec P160 Anodized alluminum Midi Server Case... (Sure you know what it looks like already Smiley )
DFi NF4 SLI-D Motherbord. (Best overclocking board in the world curently. Has more settings than any other board available to buy. LIke Ram voltage upto 4.0V, CPU voltage upto 2.0V+. Drive strength, Granularity, Async latency etc.. Actually it has more settings that a64 tweaker 0.60!)
PCI-e 2X/16X/8X/1X slots
And I'm sure you know all about the NFORCE4 SLI chipset with RAID etc...
Karajan Audio Jack (can be removed from the board) with 8 channel 24-bit/192Khz Audio. 2xOptical In/Out.
2x Firewire 1394, 10xUSB2.0
C-Mos reloaded (You can have upto 5 different hardware settings saved in the bios)
Aopen 500Watt ATX2.0 Switching PSU with Dual 12V Rail, SLI-Ready or the Antec TrueBlu 480Watt PSU.
Chaintech Apogee 6600GT 128MB (Flytek Matrix2 Edition) with Samsung GC18RAM (540Mhz Core/ 1.24Ghz Memory) Cooled by TT Giant III Cooler...
Vantec 4-way Fan Controller...
Thermalright XP120 Copper Base (Nikel plated) Alluminum Cooler with Antec 120mm low noise FAN.
Athlon64 3700+ San Diego (1MB L2) Speed binned to 2600Mhz (FX-55!) at default voltage.
or
Athlon64 3800+ Venice (512MB L2) Speed binned to 2800Mhz (A64 4200+)...
The cpu's are speed binned to find the best overclocking chip that requires the least amount of voltage and has the lowest thermal output.
TwinMos Speed Premium PC3600 using BH5 chips. DDR400 @ 1.5-2-2-5 1T all the way upto to DDR500 2-2-2-5 Smiley
=========================================
I've got a Flytek Matrix2 machine and out the box at 1.38V (default A64 voltage is 1.4V Smiley its at 2600Mhz (A 64 4000+).
For the stuff you wanted youd pay R7,600 for the Mobo, DVD, CPU (3700+), PSU, Case (P160, but Lanboy would be cheaper)..
R7,500
With the Lanboy instead it would be R7,200
For a 2600Mhz A64 3000+ CPU like the one I use, you'd pay upto a R1K less and you'd still have the same machine as with the 3700+ or 3800+...
Please help...
The prices are all from SA, so R 8 = 1 US $ and yes things ar expensive here.
Which pc is better ? 1 or 2 ?
