I’ve been researching new computer parts for a few months now and I’m finally at the point where its all coming together. (I’m writing this post from the new machine).
When I started the project, I wanted to build a machine that would last at least a couple of years. I’m not quite done, but I’ll just say that it’s working fine on Windows and will need some tweaks in order to run Linux.
here is the hardware list:
- Motherboard: ASUS, M3N-HD/HDMI - allows you to browse the web without having to load the OS
- CPU: AMD Phenom™ X4 Quad-Core -Black Edition allows you to overclock
- Video Card: Nvidia 9600GT/HTDI/512M - allows you to plugin 2 LCD monitors
- Power Supply: ANTEC Trio - 550 Watt PSU - SLI ready can handle multiple graphics cards and the quad core CPU
- Memory: 4GB Kingston DDR2 1066 - with room to upgrade to 8GB
- Hard Drive: 200GB IDE
- Pioneer DVD/RW
- All this hardware is kept cool in a metal case with 4 fans & blue LED lights
- 2 x 22 inch widescreen monitors
- 1 TB NAS (Network Attached Storage)
