I've been reading the site and forums for a while and finally got around to building my new system. This is definitely a budget build, but it is breath of fresh air compared to the old 600MHz PIII HP Kayak I'd been using up to now.
Completed: October 14, 2008
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5
PSU: Antec EarthWatts 500W
Operating system: Linux - Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
Video card: Using mobo onboard for now
Memory: 2Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800MHz
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATAII 500Gb 32Mb Cache brand
DVD: Samsung SH-S202J
Other: will be moving an Hauppauge PVR-150 from another PC at home once I get around to loading the software I need for DVD authoring.
Thanks for the site & forum. It gave me the confidence to go ahead and "Do It" as the Nike ads say.
Regards,
Duncan
