Case: Coolermaster Mystique with 460W Zalman 460B-APS, only just enough power really.

 

RAM: 2GiB of DDR3 OCZ Platinum 2 (two 1GiB sticks)

 

Graphics Card: Gigabyte 8800GT 512MiB (only 1U high heatsink with fan, hot, windowkit 120mm fan required)

 

Hard Drives: Four. GUID 300GB Velociraptor (10000RPM) HFS+Journalled(100GB)&FAT32(rest), MBR 400GB Seagate 7200.11 16MiBcache NTFS(100GB)&HFS+Journalled(TimeMachine), 1000GB FAT32 for File Storage, and 640GB FAT32 for Music storage.

 

Optical Drive: Pioneer 215D SATA DVDRAM drive. Good solid optical hardware.

 

Input Devices: Logitech Media Keyabord 600 & Logitech MX518 Gamer mouse. Quality wired interfaces, much more reliable than anything wireless, although just built a system with the DiNovo Media Combo, even works to fiddle in a motherboards BIOS, very cool, not quite worth the $ yet though.

 

Monitor: Philips 109P 19inch flat-screen CRT. Almost seven years old, still perfect color reproduction as the day I bought it, has been rained on twice (long stories), dried out, moved a dozen times, and many more times to LAN parties, I always stipulated that the monitors upgrade cycle would be "when I can afford dual 24inch displays." And as yet I cannot afford the Dual-AUD$939 for Dual Samsung 245T's. damn my standards. But buying the very top of the line monitor hardware has been a good seven year investment thus far, and I see not reason to alter that standard.

 

BIOS set to AHCI for SATA interface (not IDE or other-option-can't-rem)

BIOS set to "Auto" for all overclocking stuff, so the Asus smarts are probably clocking it up even as I install the KalyMOSX10.5.2DVD for the ninth time in a week. Next post I'll summarise the problems I have come across.

 

Ciao
