knbrac Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I agree totally on those choices and am thinking of getting that myself...pretty sure my newegg wish list has those exact parts. What video card are you going to use? Other than that.. after looking at the site, i think all of those parts will work great and be easy to set up. You might have to use only 1 stick of the ram (the install doens't like having a full 4gb right away) and then putting the 2nd stick in after the install. Keep me updated on how things are working for you!

You can get those processors new on eBay for $40-50 bucks. Mobo and Memory prices look good.

Keep me updated on how things are working for you! Yup I'll keep you all posted. I intend to order the stuff on Direct Canada tonight! P.S. 8400GS is my card for light budget. No heatsink / no noise ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101949-my-medium-low-budget-shopping-list/#findComment-729545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Those fanless cards run hot as hell. I had a Geforce 7600GS in a well vented P4 build. Damn thing ran at almost 75c under load. Lasted 4 months. Never again bought fanless card.
