So i need a load of recommendations. I've got my shuttle SN41G2, it has less issues hence why i got it. Currently it's got a 2600+ Thoroughbred B AIUHB in it with 2 modules of 256MB PC3200 TwinMOS w/winbond and a 9800 Pro.
Now, the thing is, i want a new processor, some new RAM, new sound system and a new TFT.
Processor wise i was going to go for the 3200+ but the 200MHz FSB is a chance as opposed to a fact. I need a chip with a multiplier of 11. Remember the SN41G2 doesn't allow you to change multiplier or voltages so i was thinking a 2500+ so if i can't get the 200MHz FSB i can still keep it at 166MHz or anything i can get it too whilst being stable. 2500+ barton wuvvly good stuff ya think yah?
New RAM. I was thinking along the lines of the low latency modules of Corsair XMS3200. 2 modules of 512MB is what i was thinking. Issues with FN41 at all? Not sure on that one, hopefully it's ok.
Sound system, i want optical, i want 2.1 (anything more = too many cables for my liking). High quality, decent price, optical (cambridge sound works do 2.1 at all? they are nice, can you get them in optical?) I could look everything up myself but you know, i'm just way too lazy to do research on sound systems.
TFT, wuvvly 17" will do me fine. I currently have a Mitsi Diamond Pro 930SB 19" CRT which is equal to the iiyama 454VM Pro in quality so i know what high quality is. Was thinking of the hyundai imagequest or that iiyama one?
This system is for Uni, all the spare parts are going in another system for a linux box for when i'm at uni (a software development box as so to speak).
Need a load of recommendations so i can decide what i'm going to buy. I get money every month so at the end of this month will be the next buy. I'll have £160 so no TFT or RAM. I was going to go for the processor first i think.
