You gave me this list when i asked you for some good parts to build a computer and i need some help

Accent X20 speakers $9.99

total price $296.97

i need a couple adjustments on that, i was wondering if u guys could help me
i need a motherboard that is good for home use with a good sound card and video card, (the one u recommended looks good), i need a ddr ram 512 MB, 80 Gig, harddrive, a dvd rw/cd-rw, floppy drive and a card for hoooking up modems, such as dsl or cable (a cat5 cable), im not gonna use a phone modem,

is this all i need, besides a case? how bout a fan inside. Could u maybe find the motherboard website and ram website for me, i will supply the rest, please help



ps.- do u know the website for that motherboard(something for an atx case)?


I was wondering if there are motherboards with 4 USB ports availble... and do the motherboards already come pre-installed wit a pentium 4 (thats what i need) thank you for all your help in advance

i accually spent some more time looking up my products and i have everything i need except for the motherboard. im looking for a Pentium 4 processer that can handle prolly 512 DDR Ram with 80 Gig, cd-rw/dvd-rw and fits inside an atx case

This is the case right here (http://www.newegg.co...asp?style=album)
Case Type: Midi Case
Color: Black/Silver
Material: Steel
Drive Bays: 5.25" x 4/0, 3.5" x 2/2 (external/internal)
Expansion Slots: 7
Front Ports: USB 2.0 x 2
Power Supply: 300W
Cooling System: 1 x 70mm rear
Motherboard Compatibility: ATX

Model#: D313-C2628-P4
Item#: N82E16811164002

so i would need a motherboard that could fit all those aspects, right now my price is not an issue(if you can find a board with a video and audio card that would be great, but if not could u recommend them) also would u leave the site for me too?

thank you very much, u guys are always a help

ok ok ur gonna hate me now, i did some researching on the websites u guys recommended (www.tigerdirect.com) and found these products that i wish to purchase...

MBM-P4845P-2500 Soyo P4I 845PEV 1.0 Socket 478 Motherboard with Pentium4 2.5 GHz Processor

THD-80H Hitachi 80GB / 7200 / 2MB / ATA-100 EIDE Hard Drive

S450-4010 Soyo - Black and Silver Mid-Tower Case with 350 Watt Power Supply, Keyboard, Mouse, and Speakers

TC2-DDR-512-3 Premium 512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz Memory

P450-7217 XFX GeForce2 MX400 Video Card / 64MB DDR / AGP 4X

K13-8002 Mercury PCTel 56K PCI FaxModem

Will all those parts fit together to form a pc that will run fast- that is the main goal.. is there any other products u recommend to replace or add to this build

i will purchase the cd-rw/dvd-rw and floppy drives seperatly so those are not included... also the faxmodem card i thought i needed because i need to hook up a fax machine to the computer, can u look at the motherboard and tell me if i still need it, and do u know where i can find a card to hook up a cat5 cable for my dsl...

also i plan to get these parts, assemble them and then after that purchase XP seperatly, and use a bootdisk or just the CD to load it on there... will that work?

is there anything im missing from that computer to make a good build, a fan, other part, anything at all?

Hi
what your looking at looks ok but i want to look at them more I will look at them monday night and post back on this one thing that I do see is that your looking at a intel p4 i have done a lot of looking at intel and amd and to tell you I would go with a amd from what I have seen and done with both of them the amd is faster then the intel But it comes down to what you like I have built a lot of system and I will only use amd now I will look into this more and post back on both chips with what you will need to build the system I think your look for.

[silverslik1]

aight that would be awesome!

if you recommend an amd board, would u please recommend one that would fit in the case i have found and be compatible with the other parts i have selected (also would u include the website) thank you so much for your help

[silverslik1]

accually i have a request if you guys can take it

i have the case already chosen, if you can find a fast motherboard that will fit the parts i have listen in my 3rd post...

THD-80H Hitachi 80GB / 7200 / 2MB / ATA-100 EIDE Hard Drive

TC2-DDR-512-3 Premium 512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz Memory

P450-7217 XFX GeForce2 MX400 Video Card / 64MB DDR / AGP 4X

http://www.tigerdire...7&Sku=S450-4010

i will appritiate it greatly it,

p.s. if the motherboard you find cannot fit the case i have chosen, could u find a case that would fit (with that same design almost or something close to it), please try to find me that motherboard that will fit all these parts, im waiting for ur good news! haha thank you very much for this help

[silverslik1]

i have been lookin at more cases and the motherboard and cases never seem to match up and then i thought for a sec. and have a question... is the metal casing in the back of the case that shows u where the keyboard port is or the moniter cable goes, is that just for show and it really comes hollow so u can put in any metal backing that comes with your motherboard cause that would make a lot of sense, if you dont understand this question you dont have to answer it but pleaase i need your help with the other motherboard question

[admin]

is the metal casing in the back of the case that shows u where the keyboard port is or the moniter cable goes, is that just for show and it really comes hollow so u can put in any metal backing that comes with your motherboard

Yes, a standard ATX case has an opening for the motherboard I/O ports. Usually the motherboard comes with a plate to install in this opening, and often the case has a standard plate too.

It might be a good idea to compare prices with http://www.newegg.com before you place your order.

[silverslik1]

do you think you guys could recommend a motherboard for that case (like how it should have 2 usb ports for the front) and make sure it works with all those parts, the real point is to build a fast computer so if u need to change some of the parts i picked that would be ok, just please leave the websites for the different parts, thanks...

[silverslik1]

ok i made my choices and and begining to order, can u please look at the parts and tell me how the computer is gonna run?

ASROCK K7S8X DDR SOUND, LAN 8X AGP
AMD ATHLON XP 2400
ALL COMPONENTS 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-2100 (only 1 right now)
SAMSUNG 80GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model SP0802N

and it will have windows xp pro... how fast do u think it will run and how good do u think the machine is, anything you recommend?

[admin]

I like the Barton XP 2500+ better than the Athlon 2400. This should be a real nice system Odds are you won't need more than 512MB of memory.

How about a video card, modem, CD drive, floppy drive?

What are you going to use this system for?

[silverslik1]

wow u dont know how good that feels to hear that from someone like u, makes a guy feel better

modem- dsl, fax(through phone card)
video card-SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON
drivers-
cd-rw/dvd-rw- Lite-On Black DVD-RW/+RW Drive, Model LDW-411S BLK
and the floppy-SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5inch Floppy Disk Drive, Model MPF920

it has 80 gig which should be good for him, worst comes to worst i can change it... thank you guys SO MUCH!!!!!!
