Custom Tech Station Project Part 6

[nakedmongoose123]

Can someone tell me if this rig will be good?

Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80 GHz.

Gigabyte EP43-UD3L

Sapphire Radeon 3870 512 MB

250 GB Western Digital HDD

Xion Solaris ATX Case w/ 450watt PSU

2GB PNY DDR2 PC6400 RAM

[RickArter]

Nice rig but I would go for a 4770, 4830, or 4850 as they are newer and much faster.

[nakedmongoose123]

Yeah But I am on a budget for about ehhh. 400$. and this is exactly 388$

[ChrisFromJersey]

out dated, if you're going for c2d go at least 3.0ghz (though id suggest 2.6ghz c2q or ci7) go with an nvidia video card (any 200 series will work) get a 1tb hdd (they're cheap now bout $80) and if you're going to get a psu that low wattage make sure it's a corsair - also you need at least 4gb ram...and make sure you get a 64-bit OS

my rig is faster than that and it is 3 years old

2.4ghz c2d (except the CPU :( )

8gb ram

320+160GB hdd

580w psu

8800GTS 512mb (i overclocked it, forget to what)

[nakedmongoose123]

I'm on a budget for just about 400$.. with a monitor my total is about 550$ And I dont want it going over 600$ cuz thats all I have

[McTw1st]

go with AMD then, if u have a tight budget

[Thomasdavidallen]

[sodajr]

[RickArter]

[Famoussasdrummer182]

[WestCoastMods]

Looks good Rick! 5/5

They sell U-Channel with adhesive already inside the U-Channel, check out Crazy PC.

Also not sure where you bought the rubber and how much you had to pay for it, but I just bought a 12"w X 24"lg piece from Amazon for $8.00

Keep up yje good work

LazyMan

[RickArter]

Sweet deal got a link to it if they got more? I got it from Lowes its called non adhesive shelf liner. Payed like 5 bucks plus tax for a 12"w x 5 foot roll think it was.

[WestCoastMods]

Sounds like you god a pretty good deal at Lowes.

But if you want Neoprene Rubber just punch that in the search tab on Amazon's website.

[bihohran]

wow great job rick :D

[FUzzyBUnnyBOoties]

Looking good Rick. I think that rubber will help to keep all the screws and other stuff from sliding all over when you work on stuff.

I dont know if I would worry too much about cable management on a tech station. If you are going to keep changing out boards you will have to redo the wires a lot.

[lil0egy0kid]

sweet rick its coming along great

5/5

cant wait to see the finished product

[supertroye]

Looking good Rick... looking forward to seeing the final build with some components!

[dardraa]

[RickArter]

Thanks you guys are a great audience!

[drakeishfyre]

if you decide to sell these, how will you get the mobo trays?

[RickArter]

I think for final stations will go with CM HDD cages and CM trays they are cheapest I can find to suit my need.

[grpace]

Looks great! Are you going to be getting some wheels on this?

[RickArter]

Naw just the feet more then likely.

[evgaNeo]
