[QUOTE="snewman, post: 38041, member: 18208"] Okay - more research - changes to my system design: Case: Silverstone LC16M (much sexier, more room, better cooling, VFD and remote) Power Supply: Cooler Master Extreme Power 430 (more power, still quiet like the Zalman, cheaper) Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo 4-FI 1394 Nforce4 Ultra or Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 (I now leaning toward separate video card) CPU: AMD 3200+ (need a 939 CPU now) Memory: 2x512MB DDR400 (may as well get a decent amount of RAM now) Hard Disk: 300GB Seagate DVB card: Twinhan DTV Mini Ter (no change) Video Card: Gigabyte X1300 Pro 256MB or Sapphire X1300 256MB or HIS X1300 Pro 256MB (I want to take advantage of the AVIVO capabilities to get the GPU to do more work with upscaling, deinterlacing etc) So the new questions: - Anyone with experiences of the Cooler Master PS? Is it quiet? - Any recommendations on the motherboard? - I've seen one other post about the Sapphire passive X1300Pro running pretty hot - what about the Gigabyte and HIS cards? -- [/QUOTE]
