Right then. When I get back to Blighty (mid June) I'm going to be upgrading my PC. I have a keyboard, case, mouse, monitor and some EIDE hard disks, but everything else needs upgrading. I'm gonna make a Shuttle Linux MythTV tivo box with the old bits, so they wont go to waste, but I want some ideas on kit for the new machine.
Was thinking along the lines of:
- AMD very overclockable processor (the new low volt mobile one maybe)
- 2 RAID SATA disks (striped)
- Radeon 9x00 something or other
- 1GB Ram
- Nforce2 mobo
- New, powerful, quiet PSU
The machine will be used professionally for Java development, as well as a gaming rig (I work from home a lot of the time). Money is not much of an issue, but I dont want to go mental, and I want value for money. I'm not interested in paying top dollar if I can get similar performance with a 40% saving. You know the idea.
Finally, it has to be fairly quiet.
