Pc Specification

[Enigma2003]

Money to a certain extent is no object.

I have been asked to build a 'Super PC@ for a friend of mine. He says money is no object.

What do you guys recommend?

sorry, i just have to have this one:

buy him a P2 166MHz, charge him £3000 and then pocket the cash.

seriously, I apologise for hijacking the thread

rofl, he would probably start saying.. rgg but the crappy library computer is even faster.

PC or Mac?
PC is fastest, Mac is prettiest graphics

PC.
I was thinking:
Intel P4 3.0GHz, with Hyper-threading
Abit IC7-G
1GB crucial ram
MSI nVidia 5900 Ultra 256MB
2 * 120GB SATA Hard drives
DVD-RW
CD-RW
Floppy drive

thoughts?
recommendations for a motherboard?

Look for the latest Soyo Dragon motherboard : http://www.soyousa.com/products/select.php...Intel_Pentium_4 for P4. They got all the latest specs.

oh yea and for graphics:
Nvidia for better picture
Radeon for better speed

have a look around recomended manufacturers thread, also nforce chipset based mobo are meant to be good.
if money is a slight object go for amd system, alot cheaper

- AMD Athlon XP 3200+ "Barton" DDR400 CPU
- Alpha PAL8045 with YS-Tech FD8125 45cfm 80mm fan
- ABIT NF7-S v2.0 Serial ATA150 Nforce 2 Motherboard
- 1024Mb Corsair XMS3500 CAS-2.0 memory (Dual DDR Mode) (2 x 512Mb)
- 120GB Maxtor 8mb cache SATA 150 Hard Drive
- Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb AGP 8x Graphics card
- Pioneer DVD-120 DVD Slot loading drive
- Teac Floppy Drive
- Coolermaster ATC 210B-VX1 Aluminium Case
- Antec TruePower 430w AMD Compatible ATX Silent Power Supply

That sounds about right, unless he isnt a really big gaming fan, then go for a dual opteron of xeon system,

Im all for Pentium buying if money isnt a factor, meh.

But serious, milk this guy if he says money isnt an option.........

ur friend's gona pay major 4 a comp like that. at least $2000. ha ha. i would ask him if he's gona pay that much 1st. of course, if ur dealing with a guy in a maison, or some gang dude. but if it's some college student or high school student, $2k might b 2 much. but, that's my opinion.
