blade995 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Everything looks compatible. The only thing you could do better is getting a motherboard with the nvidia 6 series chipset. I believe you can get one for cheaper than the board you picked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartoron Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Everything looks fine with that setup pedm. However, you don't have a case on that list. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedm Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've got a pretty decent one already Bart, which I should be set reusing. And I'll check that out tonight blade, cause im being shooed off the computer right now. PDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll check that out tonight blade, cause im being shooed off the computer right now. When you say that you've gotten a pretty decent one already, are you sure that it's even the right form factor? :-s You can get a good enough computer case for very cheap. You might as well just get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedm Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, I'm almost positive that the one I have will work - when I took out the old motherboard it had all the standard outputs of an ATX (it had numerous slots that an AT wouldn't have.) As far as cooling goes, the one I have seems wider than other cases and has two large fans (180 mm, compared to 120mm, I think,) not including the PSU fan. So, I'm pretty sure that the case I've got is at least as good as, if not better than any other cheap case I might buy. (and if I do need to buy one, well I'llk know that once i try fitting the stuff out.) And blade, do you have any suggestions on that? I've seen a bunch of mobos with "Intel GMA X3000" or "Intel GMA 3100" but none with nvidia 6. I have seen some with nvidia north/south bridges, but I'm pretty sure those are different from nvidia graphics. PDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813188017 This motherboard I have read some good reviews about. The Nvidia chipset is better than the midrange Intel chipsets, and it's cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedm Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Alrighty, it looks good - I'm sold. Thanks a lot. I'll buy the parts tonight, and tell you how it goes. EDIT: Parts bought! Two of the smaller parts were out of stock (DVD/CD Rom and firewire add on) but I found replacements without too much trouble. Thanks for all the help.
