Celeron Cooling and cases: 300a(450) + Abit BH6
Mike
this is my first scratch system, so basicly I'm buying a whole new
rig, but I have no idea which case to get, will they all fit the
mobo., and as importantly, which provides the the best cooling? I'm
looking at the mid tower size mostly, and cost is a major factor,
plain jane is OK, but nice curves wouldn't hurt it either. Do they
all come with power supplys? Some of the Enlights(sp) come w/
floppys, I'll need that anyway, is it a good case? Anything cheaper?
Lastly fans and heatsinks, do all celerons come w/ them? Some sites
ad that they come w/ them, some don't, are the ones they come w/ any
good? Should I go w/ computernerds dually setup? How loud is it, it
lists the singles dba, but not the dual, are they hidding something?
Or is they anything better on the market, peilzter(sp) effect? I
don't want some noisy beast humming away like mad in my case, but if
it can make a difference in Cel...
OK, now Ram, I want to go cheap on the pc100 128 meg(just go for 64?),
can I and still over clock to 450, maybe 463, System stabilty for
HOURS at a time is a requirement too me, as is relative
longetivitly(at least 1-2yrs), so, can I go cheap on the RAM(do i have
to pay the prememium on the -gh's)? Which place do yea
recomend(web)?
Rec. on hard drive, fast, cheap, easy to setup?
Lastly, I have no experience in this, ABOUT how long will it take me
to set it up the case, mobo, cards, and install drivers(vid, snd,
modem..) once i get all the parts, 2hr, 4hr, weekend? Thanks
