Good case you got there... I have same

ftd86 · Dec 8, 2006, 08:29 PM

yeah, that case is awesome. Antec is always going above and beyond the competition with new innovations.

take that 10k RPM drive for a boot drive and shove in 4 more 750gig seagates.

"who need floppy now days when you have CD-RW drives"

'i' personally 'do' like to have floppy drive installed on my computers. it is not often used before, it is used mainly for flashing motherboard BIOS and hard drives's firmware, regardless of all the BIOS upgrades facility and features that provided by motherboards. but now, since i like to develop a multi-boot configuration on my computers and since i begin to install Vista more and more and i began to use GNU GRUB more as well, this is where the floppy drive/diskettes have their chance to help me working faster.

dude....all that and you only have 2Gb of ram?! shoulda put 4Gb!!! Make that rig more dreamy for us college students!

Dowaco · Dec 9, 2006, 03:13 PM

Keyboard and mouse are lame. You should add the Logitech desktop. How about adding Windows XP pro with Vista coupon. Why only two raptors? Get four for the RAID array. Also need to add the Killer NIC and a big screen plasma monitor. Oh, and a physics co-processor

CJLMTLCA · Dec 9, 2006, 03:22 PM

Exactly, maybe not a plasma, but i hope you budgeted in something for a good WS monitor... you need good real estate to show off the eye candy.

Drool on...
