Another build

http://secure.newegg.com/app/WishR.asp?ID=1109637

Here's another build I will prob make for a friend after I build my first, guess so long as mine doesn't turn into the next manhattan project, he'll do it

does everything in there look alright for a cheaper build. And if i'm right,alls that build is missing is a monitor, mouse and keyboard, as well as software. Anything else?

Thanks

Everything look okay except the RAM. You need PC3200 DDR to go with that 2.4C you're going to install.

And you might want to look at a Maxtor or Seagate hard drive instead. Been hearing about a lot of those 80GB SE WD HDDs failing prematurely lately.

Thumbs up Your new system!

Not to be conardictory to Cricket, but I have built several systems with the WD 80 gig, not the SATA one but the Special Edition 7200rpm w/ 8mb buffer, and they are excellent drives, and very fast. No problems with any of them.

And in answer to your question, It's not bad for a cheap system, like you want! Good luck!

you could shave a few bucks off the case and get a better one in the process...

Amamax is a good vendor and free shipping... theyre my main case supplier...

otherwise Cricket's suggestions are all on the money... Ive heard the same thing about the WD drives but have been fortunate enough not to have had it be a problem for me yet..
