![]() I'm going to start building one, used predominantly for design. I'm going to want a shitload of RAM (1GIG+) and an 80gig hard drive.
Anyone whose built their own pc's have any suggestions for a novice? I can install new hardware (CD-ROM drive, HD, RAM, graphics cards, etc.) but other than that my experience is limited to software.

You may be able to buy something like what you are looking for. Take a look at DELL and HP online. You never know.

Ifits yer first time I reccomend ya have a friend with ya the first couple times that has done it before. There is just minute shit ya need to know or ya can really fuck up.
Most importantpart being aware of what hardware is compatible with what your building. INTEL or AMD both have very unique and subtle hardware prefernces.

If ya go Intel go with an Nvidea card.

Ya really should consider getting 2 or 3 drives for alot of storage.
3.2 is alot of fire power. SO set one as IDE since ya will have no choice and the other two on the SATA's.

No, but my boyfriend built mine recently and it is the FASTEST pc I have EVER owned. Much better than the Compaq and Gateway I used to own. It was the best thing anyone ever could have done for me!!
The motherboard is a DFI Lanparty 1 gig of Corsair memory (i might add in 1 more gig) Hard drive is small only 70 something gigs but it's a WD Raptor at 10,000 rpm and I'm going to put in a big external HD for data storage Case is Super-Flower Power supply is Ultra X-Connect 500W Samsung 19" LCD Processor is 3.0 p4 I don't rremember what type of video card I have or some of the specs of other parts exactly, all I know is that it's FAST.... |

I am a mad Nvidea card user
![]() I lovethe things. GForce cards are really good. I think they got one now with 1 gig onboard. INSANE! I also never been a fan of the Radeon Cards they tend to freak out on Intel's. I have tried a few times and after a while the Radeon just kinda malfunctions or fails with an INTEL. But maybe its just me. After 2 failures with radeons I am not willing to give em a shot. ASUS and ABIT mother boards I highly reccomend also. ASUS for Intel ABIT for AMD.

Buy more ram. It's cheap.
If you have 4 ram spots in the motherboard, buy 4 512mb sticks.

I just built a new one two days ago after Old Faithful died (1ghz AMD Duron)...It was a sad day. I picked up a barebones system on ebay, threw my DVD-rom drive, ram and HDD in it now I am kicking once again.
Here is a tip, if you are using a Western Digital drive, take all the jumpers out of the drive because that indicates it is a primary master (the jumper in the "master" position indicates it is a secondary master). This fucked me up for a good long while a couple of years back. If you need any help once you get going my ICQ is 41687856
