BiPolar Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 He doesn't need top o' the line components, so I'm looking for good value and stability. He does mostly office programs (word, ppt, etc.), but might get into digital imaging/movies. So this is the system i'm thinking of: Liteon, sohc-5232K amd 2600+ barton hitachi 120gb sata sapphire ati9200 pdp patriot ram 2x256 antec sonata case w/380w psu For the mobo, i'm a little unsure. I have an abit nf7-s that I love, and i've built another sytsem with the dfi ultra infinity. However, since i'm not OCing this system, what do you suggest for a good, stable mobo? ANy thoughts, for a sleek, quiet good priced case that comes with a decent psu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) For a motherboard, the Albatron KX18D Pro. It's inexpensive and very reliable If he's planning on working with video's, consider a Pentium 4 instead.

Whitelightning Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 That board is for AMD...I would maybe add alittle more kick in the cpu dept...maybe a 3000+ or 3200+....Maybe put in a 9600 or 9600 pro... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asus Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 this one is not bad if your not looking for somthing fancy http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-145-034&depa=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolar Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 yeah, as soon as i hit enter, i knew better. He has no need for a 9600, and i'd get the extra kick, but i don't know if it is worth the cost. He probably won't even be able to tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) if he is doing word processing and web browsing.. just get him an old geforce card.. get a geforce 4 440mx or somthing.. that is FINE.. that will do more than he will ever need.. and its cheep.. .. i used a geforce 4 440mx to run Grand Theft Auto 3 and it was fine EDIT.. BTW.. this is a great card.. and thats all he needs .. that will do just about any thing.. even games.. you many not get doom 3 or HL 2 or the super new DX games.. but i bet you could run GTA 3, quake 3, ect.. but thats just to show you that this card will realy do the job http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-164-015&depa=1 Edited October 5, 2004 by asus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
