weee, so i finally got my box all setup today...kickass

specs:
amd duron 1.2 (my athlon 1.2 t-bird fried)
gigabyte ga-7vrx mobo
512mb pc2100 ddr
turtle beach santa cruz
linksys 10/100 nic card
nvidia geforce 2 mx
lite-on 24x10x40 (d: )
acer 50x max (g: )
maxtor 120gb 5400 rpm (partioned into 3 drives, c: 5gbs for winxp, e: 10gbs for suse linux 8.0, f: 105gbs for storage)
maxtor 80gb 5400 rpm (h: )
ibm 60gb 7200 rpm usb2.0 (i: ), for my laptop as well
logitech opitcal mouse (with scroll button)
$12 memorex keyboard (hey it works)
17" samtron .24dpi monitor
antec sx1040 case (with 400w power supply)

another maxtor 80gb 5400 rpm drive is coming onto that, gotta be rmaed first. probably gonna add another maxtor 120gb or 160gb soon too.

alright, i don't game, all i do is mass storage don't i own? its sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

oohh yeah

santa cruz is a nice soundcard!

...had mine for a couple of months now...very happy - especially 'cos i picked it up 1/2 price seeing the stupid shop didn't know how much they're worth

err...if u're saving up for a 5400rpm drive...save up a bit more & go for the 7200rpm ones...u'll notice the difference!!!

my windows used to take 4-5 min to boot up on 5400rpm drive (tho i'm sure it had near-zero cache)...but on 7200rpm drive, it boots up under a minute (like 58 seconds i think)

...dun worry...200g fills up quick!!!...always thinking..."eh...'nother 80g drive...should take a while to fill"...couple of months down the track..."shit, time to look at buying a bigger hd "

have fun!!!

oh no the deskstar GXP are known to be problematic as hell. Go look on the web (search google) for all the rants about these hard drives. They have a habit of dying on you for no good reason and not after 4 years either
