Hi all,
Have taken the plunge and ordered all as per my sig.
Hope to get these early next week from Scan, and will prob be poking around asking questions if I have any problems.
If anyone want an old Dell Celeron 2.5ghz PC with XP SP2 lemme know :sleep:
Cool, gotta start somewhere :)
Welcome to HeXus & good luck hombre, remember, we're all here to help! ;)
welcome,
good taste in hard drive :)
when you reach 50 posts you'll be able to sell that old pc :P
im sure you'll like it here.
welcome to hexus mate :D
word of advice here, i'd REALLY get a decent PSU....dont wanna blow up all those new parts now, do you? (says me who decided to go for a logitech g15 instead of a new PSU :P)
but seriously...i would get one a.s.a.p
(i'm just guessing its an el cheapo one...if its not....just tell me to shut up :))
Grab a cheap x1950 gfx card, ram is cheap too so work toward 2 x 1gb. And yes, a new PSU :)
Thanks all...
Re: the grafix card, just got a X1600PRO 256mb DDR3 HDTV which should tide me over.
The PSU is stock with the case, and yes I will probably update it fairly quickly... however, under normal loading, if it goes pop, surely the warranty with Scan will cover any loss?
Anyway, everything except the AC Freezer 7 Pro is coming tomorrow...
So I will let you know how I get on...
Cheers
scan will have to cover the psu loss, but if the psu goes pop pop pop, and takes other parts out i dont think they will.
i'm sure it will be fine..you're not going to be pushing it too hard with that rig.
Thats what I thought when I got a Q-Tec...
:handbag: ooooo........nasty.......:surprised:Quote:

Built up easily, and immediately changed the FSB from 200 to 233, and booted first time at 2.33ghz!!!
I will let you know if there are other more stable options, but at the moment, the kit is pretty cool!!!
Also got the onboard wi-fi working with my Livebox, and it's much faster than the Livebox USB wi-fi gadet.
