Done! Budget Home Business Box
Thanks for the help and guidance to my past post. Just completed my first build. What a hoot!
Components listed below, went together smoothly. A few questions came up when plugging in the front panel connectors - just because the manual wasn't as specific as it could have been. But other references provided the answers. What connects to what seems to be the biggest challenge. System has been up and running smoothly a couple of days now. Foxconn MOBO is great for a business system because it's got everything onboard, but allows for upgrades later. The case is cavernous! E6420 Processor is fast as heck running Vista, especially compared with my old Dell P3 Optiplex G1 which was huffing and puffing with XP! Transferred all old files with local network connection. Wasn't able to get Windows Easy Transfer working. Here's what's inside... Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6420 with Stock Intel retail CPU fan Foxconn G9657MA-8EKRS2H LGA 775 Intel G965 Express Micro ATX Intel Motherboard Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Cooler Master CAV-T03-UW Corsair 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Based on suggestions here, switched to Earthwatts 500W PSU from original spec of: Antec earthwatts EA380 ATX12V v2.0 380W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TUV, CE, CB, C-tick, CCC . Made change because will probably add a video card, etc. in the future. LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model LH-20A1S - Retail Vista Home Premium Edition OEM Whole system with shipping came out a little under $800. Anyhow, thanks again to all who helped. Great forum! THANKS!!! |
