This is my first post on this board.I have been a silent spectator on TE.For the last one month I have read all the latest TE threads. I haven't posted my questions but I have followed many newbie threads.
I feel that I should post my thoughts and experience in TE forum
After long wait and analysis I have bought my Rig last weekend:hap2:.I will upload the pics a bit later.
My primary use is for running a Sharepoint server on the machine and web-development including some basic web design work. Some photoshop is not ruled out.
Occasional gaming and lot of web browsing.
Gigabyte- EP45- UD3L M/B- 6600
Intel core 2 Quad 2.83 GHz Pro(12 MB cache) -11600
Transcend 2X2GB Ram- 2800
Seagate 500GB HDD - 2575
Cooler master 690- 4500
Corsair 450 W - 4100
samsung P2250 - 10500
LG DVD RW - 1025
Total Damage : 43.7 K
All inclusive of 4%VAT
I had a INNO3D 9600 GT 768 MB DDR3 - Graphics card with me to go on the above cofig.
My previos setup: I have a (Core2 Duo)ACCER laptop and 5 years old AMD rig .
P2250: I had a lot of trouble in deciding the monitor with all the viewing angles and resolutions questions looming all around .There were only a couple of reviews on this new monitor and I liked the look of the screen when I looked at it in the shop.
After getting it I find that my choice is not wrong and it is indeed good.
The only negative point I found is that the monitor does not come with a DVI cable. It comes with a D-Sub. Unfortunately the GPU I have does not have D-SUB. So I had to do one more trip to CTC to buy a DVI cable to connect.
Mobo and Proccy: The choice was between amd 945 phenom and a good Intel Quad. I wanted a future proof machine with atleast couple of years window.Phenom 4X was very good alternative but unfortunately I havent got a good price on the market street.
So I had to stick with more pricey and more standard Intel route. My Initial feel is that the combination is simply superb.It offers a a very good response time.
Interesting thing I observed is that the mobo has got a great onboard Sound capability. I haven't tested it full yet but it is definitely sounding betterthan my previous PCi Sound card.
CM 690: this is the most expensive decision I have made by impulse. I was looking for a basic coolermaster for around 2.5 K. Kadir(the Man from Arun Computers) was not ready for it.I has really persuaded me to get this. But in the end I think I have gone for a good one.
The temps are not going above 44C (is it too much ?). On second thoughts I feel what I did is ok as my graphics card(which I forgot take to the shop for assembling) is too long and is definitely difficult to fit in a smaller cabby.
As some one rightly said on TE, more time we spend on TE, more we spend money on components.
Guyz,
Pardon me for any possible mistakes I have done in the above lines . Also for not uploading any pics.
Please comment on my RIG
is my corsair 450 sufficient for the given GPU in the long run ?
Comments on Pricing please. Did I pay more ?
