here is the system i am going to build. you guys have any changes i should make. Money is no option, so dont try to recommend things to me that are cheaper. i just was speed!

AMD Athalon 1.4 GHz
Swiftech MC 462 Heat sink fan
Asus A7M266 MOBO
512MB PC 2400 Ram
Addtronics Tower case - http://www.Addtronics.com/7896A.htm
GeForce 3 card
Enermax 650W (530W average) Power supply
9 Case fans
a bay fan
a bay tempature measuring thing
a hard drive cooling mount
SB Live card

That is the base of the system. Not including the monitor and drives I am getting. i will worry about those later, i am going to build this one over a couple of months 1 piece at a time starting with the case.

Does anyone recommend a brand of fans i should buy? I want to get the best fans with the best rpm and quality.

Anyone recommend a good tempature monitor that fits in a drive bay? i have seen a couple, just wondering which ones had the best options and quality.

thanks guys!

The Digital Doc 5 is by far the best. I have one, and it has more options than any other. Looks good, too.

Yeah, but loud. (I have one, and I'm ok with it).

No, the sound card should be ok as long as he's not looking for studio-quality.

Well it looks okey to me ....BUT if you not in a hurry !
Then wait for nFORCE mobo to arrive ...THEY ARE FAST 4.2GB/S
ASUS A7N266 is werry promising mobo. I will wait for that! (october?)

Boot Your PC The Bikerway...Kick It ! BIKERdude;)

Then you can forget the soundCard nFORCE have DOLBY DIGITAL
5.1 and you get a AC3 signal out. This is far moore better
then the SoundBlasterLIVE consept!
Ironicly you save some money there... but still the nFORCE
mobo will cost you a bit more ! So it will be HIGH-TEC and
expensive anyway!

Before you go buy your systeme have some question.

Why a T-bird 1.4
Do you know where to find driver fro chipset and others.
What is the software you will use.

If you want 'better' quality sound with 6 channel support, you should go for the Philips Acoustics Edge over any Sound Blaster.

?????? You haven't built any computer yourself, have you?
FYI, all drivers' softwares needed are always provided in <font color=red>Motherboard CD</font color=red> when you buy the mobo! Furthermore, you can always go to the mobo's manufacturer, which is <b><A HREF="http://www.asus.com" target="_new">ASUS</A></b>, for drivers download.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Or the Hercules Game Theatre XP.
I sold my Philips Seismic Edge to a friend, and he had a LOT of trouble getting it installed.

Whoever thinks up a good sig for me gets a prize :wink:

Get a SCSI 15x rpm drive, btw.

Also if you want the best computer, don't build it in a month. Get all the parts and build it in a day/two days/3 days, whatever. If you do it in a month, newer and better stuff will already be out.

For your soundcard, get the SB LIVE PLATINUM card.

Hey, you want a cool case...get this Li-Lian PC 68 +USB

I have this case. It is totally aircraft alimunum, Really light, it comes in some totally cool colors. It already has 3 case fans built in, and there is plenty of room to do case mod's to add those new fans. Take a look at it, I got it from www.newegg.com

I don't know if this is big enough for you, but I have nearly the exact system you have setup and it runs superbly in the case. The one thing I love about this case is that there is a fanbus built into the case under the removable front pannel.

Check it out!

The Hercules is good too...
but the Seismic Edge is crap compared to the Acoustic Edge...and (in another 'sound' web site's forum) i haven't heard of anyone having trouble with their Acoustic.

Here's a suggestion and what I am doing. Don't buy your computer 1 piece each month. By the time you get the components there may be much better ones released. Just save all your money each month until you can buy everything at once guaranteeing that you will at least have the fastest system for a day or two. :p 

What can I say?
