View Full Version : What do you reckon to my new rig?
My New Rig (When I get back from Germany):
AMD64 3000+ w/ XP-120 and Antec Blue LED Fan
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D (Modded to SLI-D)
1GB OCZ Gold VX DDR500 (2x 512MB matched pair)
Leadtek 6800GT 256MB w/ NV5 Silencer Rev.2
200gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Serial ATA
OCZ Powerstream 520w PSU
ThermalTake Tsunami Dream Black w/ Window - Antec Blue 80mm fan on the side. Cold cathode tube along the inside bottom of the case. Blue IDE/SATA/Floppy cables.
Don't know about the fan on the HS, If i have heat problems i'll get something else thats not as flashy.
Comments on this matter please, aswell as overall rig.

the hitachi 250gb sata II is 122$ and better than the barracuda
for the rest is great
Its already sitting for me at home. Never mind. I'm not worried too much about the difference between the hdds.

well it is a nice system but have in mind that HDD for future upgrade is faster than my raptor LOL my raptor 118.4 MBPS and my hitachi 133MBPS
maybe a future upgrade..
SATA 2 isn't really that much faster seeing as the burst speed is all thats faster..

but the drive is 3x bigger... ;)
The system looks nice amigo. I hope you have fun with it.
200gb x 3 = 250gb ???
Cheers, thanks for the wishes.

My bad, I was thinking you had a raptor in your specs, got it confused with the other post. Apologies on my brainfart.
We all have our opinions, and I agree on the 3200+/hitatchi perhaps being better choices, but regardless i'm sure that rig will do you more than fine for some time to come. Enjoy it when you get back. :D

Will nVsilencer fit on leadtek?
I thought my friend told me that leadtek board has holes on different positions. (They do not use stock sink, exceot for 7800)
I don't know. I'll just nick my girlfriends xfx if not :P I have built a similar system for her, just not for overclocking.
I could nick her processor aswell, its a 3200 and give her my 3000, but her system wont be OC'd so she'll benefit from another 200mhz stock. I might get the ram to like 210 but thats it. She'd be using the stock AMD aswell so...
Should I nick her 3200 aswell?
you can..and then just OC the 3000+ another 200mhz....shouldent be hard
