BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!!
I can't believe it's been 10 years since the last computer build.... that doesn't seem right.
No... after looking at the build list, I've build a new computer since then... maybe 4-5 years ago.
Anyway, it's that time again. the build I had in this thread I had to dust off, as the computer downstairs took a crap. The 10yr old build isn't booting correctly, and I may mess with it to see if I can get it up and running again, but I figured that I might want to build another new computer, and just move my current one downstairs.
I know the general look of the case I want, full clear side, multi-color LED fans that I can switch on and off.
I haven't decided on a budget, or when this build would actually start... but just looking for some general ideas on case, chips, boards, ram, video card, cooling, etc etc.
I have no idea what's hot right now, or what to avoid or look out for.
I may or may not use this for gaming....
Definitely for media and multi-tasking. Ability to be more than capable for todays games would be nice.
Let's aim for $800 price tag on this and see where we end up.
edit:
Thanks to kraken I have found the perfect system for what I'm looking for.
Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System
Only problem is the price. Does anyone know where to get a really good deal on this or something very very similar?
Can I just say I'm still using this system. It's pretty awesome and sounds just as good today as it did originally.
edit2: found a new one online....
