[Raver X]

Yes yes Im very happy :P
I got an Asus motherboard A7V266-E
512 megs of DDR ram
AMD XP 1600 (1.4ghz)

I still need to pick up the Hard Drives, and CD Drives and a floppy.

Wow, that thing is going to fly. What kind of hard drives will you be running?

[Raver X]

Yeah, if you have the cash, that would be sweet.

3 80 gig hard drives? How many games do you have? :confused: That seems a little overkill. :o

if you are planning on having that many drives on your system continue to use the conventional eide connection and do not use RAID. raid will slow down gaming noticeably.
i just found this post digging around so it may be too late.

For the server or for my main PC?
My main PC is just running a Radion 64 DDR.
The server is running an old voodoo.
I am still waiting for the G4 :yes:

[hondabob]

Hey,
You should have waited for the Geforce 4. It is only a little more expensive than the GF3TI500, and it rocks its a**.

for the gaming machine.
the server would be fine with raid.
if you want to put 3 ide hd's on your system i'd recommend getting a Promise ide card. gives you extra ide slots so you can have more than just a cd drive and the 3 hd's.
