I am wanting to builda a computer with the following things in it:
DVD Drive
CD Burnable
Internet
Super Fast Speed
Huge Memory

I need to know what products would be best and what i should buy. I already have the "frame" picked out. If it is possible, it would be cool if you could price it to your best ability (or just a range is fine).

Thanks

Hey all! Im new here so give me a break! I am wanting so info on how to burn Ps2 games, and wholesale site to buy Ps2 stuff.

a decent LCD 17 inch monitor is about 3 to 4 hundred dollars , that doesnt leave you with much money for all the go fast parts that you want , cpu, memory , motherboard , video card , hard drive , roms , case , ps .

You still need to set a price.

Unfortunately the two are often mutually exclusive

Damn I knew I made those threads for a good reason :P

It may seem a bit "anal retentive" but it would allow us to help you if you could nail down a number ... "as much as I need to" can translate to $2000 for one person and $5700 for another etc.

Good to see ur doing ur job Flip :P

Now since i dont see any useful concrete numbers, i'm gona spec a system for $1500USD (mostly because the LCD screen is chunking out a large part of it):
- Athlon64-2800 ($130) ... an insanely OCable chip for a hell of a price
- MSI K8N Neo Platinum ($125) ... a class punishing platform for OCing
- Corsair ValueSelect 1GB Kit PC3200 ($160) ... blah
- 2xWD 160GB 7200 8MB PATA ($180) ... your basic staple for HDDs
- Thermaltake Venus12 (check to see if this is S754 compatible i thin it is but i dunno, $30)
- Thermaltake Silent Purepower 420W ($40) ... a hell of a nice PSU for that price
- LiteOn 52x32x52 ($25) .. a superb burner
- Pioneer 108 ($70) ... your basic all around DVD burner
- Gainward GeForce6800 ($275) ... a excellent card for that price
NET $1035


Hmm... damn. That was nice. You can add shit on that as you desire
