I’ve now got all the essential parts to build the rig;
- Asus P5E3 Deluxe Wifi @n mobo
- Antec P182 case
- Leadtek 256MB 8800GT O/C
- Pentium Dual Core E2160 @1.8GHz
- 2GB DDR2 @ 1,333MHz
- 2x 1TB Seagate 7200.11 HDDs
- Coolermaster M620 PSU
- Creative X-fi Soundcard (PCI-E)
- 250GB 2.5″ WD HDD
- Icybox 2.5″ enclosure
- Scythe Kama Panel
- IDE-Sata converter (so I can use the slimline drive over sata & not use any IDE cables)
I’m also taking the 500GB HDD, TV card and DVD-RAM optical drive from my existing rig.
I’m still waiting for:
- Slimline optical drive (Scan didn’t have any and the item is discontinued, so got it from eBay)
- iMon Ultra Bay (I’ve bought it from an Italian eBay seller, as it’s impossible to source them from UK retailers & the only US based one that ships to the UK wanted to charge the same amount as the actual unit
- free USB Hub from PC Pro (Essential for mounting the dongles inside the case)
- PCI USB card (with 2x internal USB ports)
All I need now is a day to build it….. which could be a while.
