Shuttle AK35
IwillXp333
Shuttle AK35
Iwill Xp333
Good grief, I give. :fight
You guys can't seem to make up your minds so I bought them both :kookoo
Incase your not sure, this message was a joke, all in fun, but yes I did really buy them both!
Although I decided not to go with the raid features on either. Probaly a mistake, but looked like Identical boards otherwise and saved about $10 a piece on them. I decided instead of running dual drives, I'll put a 60gig or larger in two systems and back up my important data over the network on both systems. That way if anything should happen like a lighting strike, hopefully I won't lose two systems at once where one with two drives would fry them both at once! Decided that about a week ago when I went to Ohio for a funeral. A few hours after we got there in nice weather, a nasty storm hit. Direct hit to power pole killed it for 1 1/2 days, then mom's modem was fried when power was fixed. Lucky the rest was on a surge strip, but not the phone line. She lucked out there with just the modem!
Thanks for the advice! I actually got manuals!! YE HA, they actually have info in them too!
I got them today and spent hours reading EVERYTHING in the manuals for them, HAD nothing else to do, spent all my money on system boards! Ain't got any cpu's and only one case!
Well actually I should get the TCWO package tommorow, 1700XP and ATI AIW 7500 radeon. But I do really have to decide which board to use as I only have one cpu comming in and one empty case sitting here. Planning to buy a case on ebay latter tonight. Haven't decided ona case yet, want to build a custom, but then again I need the power supply, and that alone is the cost of a case just about.
Thought about using the supplie from an older case, but decided against it for now. Talking old as in 486SX 20 and 486DX4 100 cases. I just really hate to throw things away that still work like new!
Anway really, thanks for the advice on the 2 boards guys! All I have done so far is look at them and read about them, but I can see the qualty built in already. NOW IF THEY WORK when I insall them I will be really happy!
