0 MulletRobZ Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 You mean approximately $4000 CDN?!?! I'd say you can get a real kickass system with that kind of money! Here's what I'd suggest : GeForce 3 Video Card Pentium 4 @ 2.0 GHz 512 MB PC800 RAM SoundBlaster Live! 80 GB Hard Drive Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/2478-build-a-pc-for/#findComment-16110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flip_Kid Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 well if thats appx 4000 cdn ... i wouldnt really worry about getting all the components u need cause with that amount of money just go for the most expensive stuff =)~ heres some guidelines tho ... AMD: Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53Ghz) 512 mb pc2100 ddr ram (2x256 or 1x512 whatever) that shuttle kt266a mobo (MAKE SURE ITS kt266A not kt266) pick a heatsink/fan - generally go for the more expensive end you do not want your system burning up INTEL: P4 2.0ghz 512mb rdram i dunno about p4 mobos. ibm 60gb hard drive geforce3 64mb videocard sblive! or if you really want to go all out get a Hercules GameTheatre XP get those Klipsch(sp?) speakers if u like kickass sound haha hi-end 17" monitor or medium 19" monitor 24x10x40 burner 16xdvd meh and im too lazy to write the rest but thats just basic guidelines that i think would kick ass :) if you want more info check www.sharkyextreme.com or www.planethardware.com Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/2478-build-a-pc-for/#findComment-16115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
