New computer build

Well, I got a delivery from TigerDirect yesterday. So I loaded up all my computer parts and took them to work with me last night. Wires are everywhere in the pics. Its still a work in- progress. I've still got to install an O.S.. Still debating whether to put Ubunto or Windows something.

Here's what I purchased.
Thermaltake Soprano Case
AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+ CPU
Thermaltake CPU fan
ASUS M3N78 Pro Motherboard
LG cd/dvd burner
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
BFG 550watt Power Supply
Aerocool 120mm Case fan (2)
Thermaltake HD fan (on the way)
RAM- DDR2 6400 800mhz 6gigs

HP USB mouse/keyboard
Acer 22in Monitor

Speakers- Altec Lansing 2.1 (already had this)






Thanks for all the help.
Special thanks to George aka ghost28. Thanks for the help man.:headbang:

 

Way to go...That looks pissa...I hope I runs good for you...:thumb:

 

Looks good, mine is finally coming in today.

i7-920, 6gb Tri Channel 1066mb, 512mb video, 23 inch monitor. Should be pretty sick.

 

Thats gonna be a sweet machine man!

 

Yeah, the only problem is it's in a Mini Tower and is pretty loud at some times. I duno if you can overclock it either.

 

DAMN! All that to log onto the DB site. :kilt:

 

I say multi-boot. Install your favorite flavor of Linux, partition the drive and install your other OSes on those partitions. OR my new favorite practice, use VMWare and create virtual machines. Make a clean image of each OS and then if something goes FUBAR you just fall back to the clean image.

 

Lookin good, Cooter! I sorely need to rebuild my desktop at home. I built it about 3 or 4 years ago I think, and it's just time for a new one...

 

Very nice mate! What are you doing for graphics?

 

Congrats on the comp Heath! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hehe, I went the VMWare route. It's nice to run multiple O.S.'s at the same time. :applause2:

 

Looks great Heath, be sure to let us know how you like it!

 

Thanks guys.
Pete, no graphics card yet. I'm not a gamer to be honest.

 

Finally set mine up when it came today. This monitor is friggin gargantuan!

 

nice.....

how much this setup cost you?

 

Total around $700. Parts, keyboard, mouse and monitor.

 

I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM, adding a Blue-Ray DVD drive, getting a larger monitor, and a good set of speakers.

Anyone ever own these speakers?
JBL Home Audio

 

way to go Heath.....looking real good... i like the case......your gonna love it...i love mine....

 

Can't say that I've used those speakers but if you're going the home theater route, you might as well go for 5.1 at least. :thumb:
