New system - comments please b4 i buy!
After being harrassed by Praetor to get a system built rather than buy a ready-made one, I've now got the following spec from a shop (for $1,000 - they're building it for me). I don't do any gaming, this is mainly for web-design, music/movies downloading and running some modelling applications such as Matlab.
Case: CoolMaster Centurian black
500W ATX power supply
Asus P4S800 SIS 648FX
Intel P4 Prescott 2.8Ghz 800fsb 1MB cache
Jetram memory 512MB PC3200 DDR400
Maxtor 160GB HDD 8MB cache
floppy drive
Sony 16xDVD-ROM
Pioneer 8xDVD-RW (with Nero 6.0)
Sparkle FX5600 128MB graphic card
Onboard sound card
Windows XP Home
6 USB 2.0 + IEEE1394
Any comments welcome.
