HI....

I am currently building a new system which just for multimedia use;therefore, I don't need to overclock.


The system is giong to be

p4 2.26B
512M PC800
Motherboard = something about asus
video card = one of the geforce 4 Ti4600
creative audigy planitum
Seagate Barracuda IV 80Gb 7200rpm ata100 Fluid Bearing OEM
CD-RW: PLEXTOR CDRW 40X/12X/40X REWRITABLE EIDE
Speaker: CREATIVE INSPIRE 5.1 5700
CASE Fan: Antec 92mm SmartFan

power supply: unknown but I am thinking about buying a enmux (spelling)

case: don't have a clue....(please help)


I am looking for all suggestion on this system if you have any comment on any hardware componet or you have experience any hardware conflict please tell me about it.


thanks.

by the way, I am looking for stability and performance on this system if you any of you guys built this system before please comment on this post.

thank.

Welcome to PCA, now, as to your question, how much money you want to spend on that case and power supply? You want a big, fancy, case? Or you want something to hold the parts, and do it's job unobtrusively? Lot of variables there. From around $100 to $300 of them

For cases I would sugest eithor of these: http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm or http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm very good price on them there. PS's just get an antec dual fan, they are not that expensive, are pritty quiet, and proform well.

oh....right
sorry about my lack of consideration.


I want a 400watt of psu but I don't know which company make the best psu for p4 system


as for case, I want a case that is large enough put my componet in. Also, i would prefer an aluminin case since it cool stuff very fast..

about money, psu i can spend 200 -300, i can do that same on the case.

thanks for the input.

Just noticed you had Pc800 in there. With the 2.26B thats a 133FSB so your gonna need PC1066 or really good PC800 that will run at a 133 FSB. Just thought i'd point that out to ya.

Well this is the PS for you then: http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm its 380w but it has about as much power as the 431w enermax oens.

and as for aluminum cases High speed is a good place to try: http://www.highspeedpc.com/cat20.htm
