Howdy,
I'm putting existing parts into a new case (long story) & while I'm at it I wanted to check that I have an adequate mix of components. A guy put this together for me about 3 yrs ago: Abit AL8 mobo Intel P4 3.2 ghz 4X512mb Samsung DDR2 memory Leadtek GeForce 6800GT 256mb video card Seagate Sata II 1TB HD (brand new) Western Digital Sata II 500GB HD (only about 1 year old) Pioneer DVR-110D dvd burner Thermaltake XP550NP 430w power supply Is that power supply adequate for this mix, especially with the Leadtek & AL8/P4? I broke one of the 2 usb ports on the front panel of my Cooler Master Centurion 5 case, plus I'm having what I think is a hardware problem causing system freezes & crashes, so I'm starting with a new case & working from there. I'd like to get the same case as above, but had a problem with power surges (& the break) on that front usb. Anybody have a better recommendation for another case that's: well-cooled has 2 front usb, 1 IEEE, mic & headphone jacks about $50 or so but, unlike any cooler master, comes in beige??? (I know, but a screw-up & I ended up w/ a beige Pioneer dvd-r) This post has been edited by MikeBoa: Jul 20 2009, 12:14 PM |

I ordered that Plextor drive yesterday, so I'll wait for that to get here before I do the rebuild.
One thing I've been wondering: would it be possible for an old crt monitor that's starting to go to actually crash/freeze a computer? I have a Sony Trinitron CPD-200ES that's about 15 yrs old. |
