Hi Max, I built a PC about 2 years ago and did enjoy it! I think I got a little better value than buying something with equivalent specs. Of the top of my head - this looks like a fast system. You might price the components separately to find out if you're getting a deal. And a BD-ROM drive would cost a bit wouldn't it? If you are going to put this on the floor, you'll want a different case so that your USB, firewire, and audio ports are near the top instead of at the bottom. Good Luck!

I was trying to maximise the money I had to spend on the really useful bits by making use of an existing box with all the boring bits. This sounds really appealing.. http://www.web-systems.co.uk/?page=Products&pid=4701 Max -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: 25 June 2009 19:07 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Help Wanted to Choose Equipment Why build? Wouldn't buying a high end like a Dell off the internet be faster, cheaper, more reliable? Or is building this box something you'll enjoy?

Hardware is not my forte.. I want to buy from here http://www.web-systems.co.uk/?page=Products They are local and I can pop along to get the stuff. I need a compatible set of a. Motherboard b. Memory - full populated with as much as possible. c. Processor - fast a possible d. video card. I have an existing system that I am going to cannibalise - it has an ATX form existing motherboard and will provide case, DVD, etc. No drives required as I have tons of them, BUT if the above system only supports SATA then I can go for that too and use my others as USB external drives. I am assuming that the motherboard will come with a suitable PSU.
