Ive just ordered a Shuttle SB75G2 and want to get the rest of the kit what do you think of this:
- Hitatchi Deskstar 7K250 250GB SATA150:
Supposed to be quite a good drive and quieter than most isnt it?
- PENTIUM 4 2.4GHZ SKT478 FSB800 512KB CACHE BOXED D1 STEPPING
OR
- PENTIUM 4 3.0GHZ SKT478 FSB800 512KB CACHE BOXED
Now im not sure what processor to get. The shuttles dont overclock too well do they hence the 3g choice, but then i dont want anything too hot and 300 for a CPU isnt cheap.
- 1gb GeIL PC3200 400MHz DDR Dual Channel ULD Series
Not really much discussion here is there?
So thoughts please?
Wol

I hear Seagate are generally considered among the quietest of drives although perf is a little lower. Maxtor are the happy medium ground for me as you can run with top end perf or use Acoustic Man sw to run them silently (obv some impact on speed) ... so long as they aren't SATA.
Not sure how those mobos tend to o/c, I'd meet half way and get the 2.6ghz 800FSB part as you get a little higher stock perf for a reasonable price and if you can o/c won't need such high FSB.
I dislike Geil and would point you to Adata, PC4000 or so if you plan to o/c. Also check out TwinMOS esp with Winbond. You can still save and get PC3200 then run async when you o/c but faster rated stuff no longer costs THAT much extra.
