Starting to build a new PC, for the first time...Wondering on some advice/tips. Going with the following: CPU: Pentium Core 2 Duo E6600 M/B: Asus P5B Deluxe Wi Fi HD: Seagate ST3320620AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s RAM: Kingston KVR667D2E5/1G D2-667 1GB ECC Memory MON: Dell 2007WFP LCD Still deciding on these: CASE: Antec Sonata II, Antec P180B, Antec Solo or ??? VIDEO: ATI AIW Radeon X1900, Asus nVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB HDTV/2DVI PCI-E or ?? Was going to go with the ATI AIW Video Card but turns out that the Sonta II and the Asus P5B can't absorb the 10 inches of the ATI card length...So, either I get a different case or go with a different card...I like the case because of it's cooling, looks and quiet running but I suppose there are other options. Thoughts?
sounds like a great pc. id go with the X1900 and Antec P180B as it is supper quiet and has cable management ideal for very good air flow or either LIAN LI PC-V1000BPlus II http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112058
I'd like to keep the ATI AIW card but not sure what quiet, cool and mid size case I can accomodate the card with...Almost seems like it might be a better idea to just get a different video card, non? Choosing a video card seems tough for me...Like I've said, I think I've played a game on a PC ONCE in my life...I appreciate watching DVDs, DVD editing and general multimedia tasks with a video card...What would be comparable to an ATI AIW X1900 if I didn't go with that? Better yet, trying to find a cool, quiet and midsized black case (And can fit the ATI AIW card) is like trying to find a needle in a haystack
