Re: New PC Specs - Opinions Welcome

That is way too much machine for your needs.
If you are not a gamer, you should consider the
8600 cards. They are fast, but they run much
cooler than the 8800s, and will last much longer.

The 182 case requires cable extenders for
most psupplies to work .. and you will need an
8-pin CPU power connector. Also, I prefer quieter
fans than the ones that come stock in that case.
Still, no doubt that is the best case on the market.
I use Antec Truepower 550 watt .. the cables
almost reach.

ASUS is crap. That is all there is to it. Gigabyte
mobo bundles from Mwave are much more
reliable. GA-P35-DS3L is excellent, and setup
for single video card with plenty of room for
the new X1 cards coming out for digital TV.
Put a modest price DUO with 2 gigs of Kingston
ram in it, and you are in a nice system that will
meet all of your needs.

ACER is crap. Look at the new Viewsonic 24 inch
LCD monitor. It is about $350 and will go lower soon.

3 hard drives is going to fry your box unless you
go with a cooling game box like the Antec 900.
I also have that box, and I'm really pleased with
the quiet fans, and the overall temp of my system.
Also, the 900 sits nicely on my desk ... the 182
is pretty big.

Like the guy said, Vista is still buggy. At least
once a week I fling a fit and swear I'm going to
put XP back on my Vista box.

Concluding: you are mixing game parts with
utility parts which cripple the game parts. You
do not have a balanced system.
