Final spec advice and cooling
For general use + video, audio and 3D rendering.
Motherboard DP965LT CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB (2x XMS2 1GB) PC-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 RAM, 2x240-pin DIMMs, Non ECC Unbuffered, 4-4-4-12 Hard Drives * 2 with Raid 1 mirroring: Either Seagate 7200.10 400GB 7200rpm SATA II Hard Drive - 8.5ms, 16MB Cache ST3400620AS or Samsung 500GB 'HD501LJ' HDD - SATA II 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, NoiseGuard, SilentSeek, 3-year warranty Video card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 Monitor Samsung 20” 206BW Any case suggestions (needs to be practical and look nice in a media business setting, ie something cool but not over the top)? Also what cooling would this need? Oh and what's a good power supply? Last edited by matt_mm; 04-29-2007 at 10:10 PM. |

Can't really comment about the quad core, the mobo or the GPU because I am not really knowledgeable about these, but for the case and the PSU, I can.
First of all, like I said, I don't know how much power your GPU takes, but I assume that a 500W reliable PSU would be good, here are 2 choices: Antec NeoHe 500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103940 Corsair 520HX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139001 Then for a case, well there is this one: Antec P180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129154 or this one which I do not know Lian-Li 6070AplusII http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112101 There are many other cases, but well, its really a matter of choice. |
