Help me all you pc riceaz! #2

Postby Village_Ideot » Aug 14, 2002 @ 4:27am

I have finalized my plans for the computer i am building. I used a lot of suggestions from the first thread, and your help was really appriciated. Before I order all these, it would be nice if you guys would confirm that they are all compatable. Thanks!

Of course, I have a poll, because I can't help myself. Finally, please tell me if there is anything I missed. I was also wondering if i should stay with the 1900+ or go for something higher or lower, depending on price.

Okay, well i have most of the computer ordered. I have the floppy drive and network card, an 80GB hard drive, instead of the 60. I found an AWSOME deal on a GF4 Ti 4600 though, and i am taking it. $250 for the card RETAIL, after $80 worth in rebates. Moose, i sure hope that the 350w power supply my computer has will be enough. In the first riceaz thread, someone commented that i wouldn't be straining the 350w until i had about 3 hard drives, and a bunch of other crap.
