New Computer Build
I am working on building a new PC and I must say it gets pricey when you want to add things like redundancy. I have been purchasing most of the parts from New Egg which is really great with the prices. In fact I think just about all of the parts came from New Egg except for the processor which I got from my friend. Nothing fancy on the cpu but my friend is going to over clock it for me. Here is what we have in it so far.
| 1 | ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/ SATA 24X DVD Burner | 26.99 | 26.99 |
| 1 | OKGEAR 6" molex 4pin male to 15pin SATA power cable | 2.49 | 2.49 |
| 1 | OKGEAR 8" molex 4pin male to two 15pin SATA | 2.49 | 2.49 |
| 3 | Antec 761345 120mm Case Fan | 9.99 | 29.97 |
| 4 | Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA Drive | 119.99 | 479.96 |
| 2 | G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM | 97.99 | 195.98 |
| 5 | Tripp Lite 19" SATA Cable | 9.99 | 49.95 |
| 1 | BIOSTAR P43-A7 LGA 775 Intel P43 Motherboard | 64.99 | 64.99 |
| 1 | Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case | 54.95 | 54.95 |
| 1 | ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler | 53.99 | 53.99 |
| 1 | BFG Tech GS-550W ATX SLI Ready CrossFire Power Supply | 49.99 | 49.99 |
| 1 | BFG Tech GeForce GTS 250 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Video Card | 159.1 | 159.1 |
| 1170.85 |
This does not count all the taxes and shipping for all the different times I had to buy this and then realized I needed this. That is always a pain. I plan on installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the OS. I also have a 120GB SATA drive that I plan on hosting my OS on and using the 4 – 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration and use it to store my music, photos and documents on. I will have another 1.5TB drive that I plan on using for Backups which I know I will have to upgrade that soon to keep all the backups on. Thankfully I use Storage Craft to do all my backups and I must say it is the coolest way for backups.
If anyone has any feedback I would appreciate it. I am hoping to have this system up and running by next Friday since I have a Photography Gig coming up. Wish me luck folks!
