umm can't remember the name of the sound card I got but it's supposed to be digital but I can't get my digital speakers to work with it from my old gateway computer..

17" LCD monitor (me like) lol

so this is the computer I use mostly, think that's about it..

 

One server:

DEC Alpha 21164 500MHz (64-bit)
Pyxis chipset
256MB ECC SDRAM
4.2GB 7200RPM Ultra Wide SCSI HDD
Matrox Millenium 64-bit PCI Gfx card
300W Power Supply
12X CD-ROM drive
16-bit Soundblaster-compatible on board
10/100BaseTx on board

 

Since you browse computer forums alot more then I do, if you find any good group buys on that monitor, PSU and I guess the case too I'm very interested....

 

You know, Dell often has much better deals than Newegg, but some stuff takes a few weeks to ship.
Here is that 19" Viewsonic.

I hope that case comes down some.

That power supply gets a top rated score in last months CPU magazine, and the cables unplug, so you only use what you need.

Better review in last months mag.

Here is my old one. I am getting rid of it or giving it to my son. I am going Alienware. Just waiting for approval from the wifey.

Ever since I have gone to a wireless server route I have been getting the "blue screen of death" There should no reason. I have re-formatted it and it still comes back.

So I am "going big ot going home"!

 

Try updating your bios you can get it here.
