Almost finished with the rig!

[|SCK|Sephiroth]

Alright here is what we have:

AXP1700+ TBRED-B
EPOX 8rda+
2 sticks of 256 DDR 2100 RAM (I want 3200)

I need:
Harddrive (7200RPM)
Heatsink (This is the hardest thing for me. I better get it on right)

I should have this rig built and ready on thursday.
But then I hope to get the OS on the HD and to get most of the games and patches installed.

I would go with a ThermalRight SLK-800, Here's a great review of several HSFs. LINK (http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/15coolers.php)

New egg has a great deal on a wd 80gb 7200 rpm hdd.
About 100 bucks.

You can't go wrong with the SLK-800, one nice hunk o' copper. With ATA133, I'd want a nice drive to take advantage of it, and one of the new 8 meg cache drives would be cool. I have a Maxtor 40 gig 7200 2 meg cach drive, what I really like about it is the very quiet liquid-bearing drive. Storage Review (http://www.storagereview.com) Has some good info on drives. I got a sour taste in my mouth with WD drives about 5 years ago, when they were known to not play well with some other brands/models, and I had two die pretty young, but I know they are fine drives. The maxtor runs fairly cool, too, but the link I gave you likes the WD and the IBM tops. That's on the leaderboard, I am fine with 40-60 gig drives, so I don't need a 100 or 120. I would have to think the larger, 8 meg caches have to help with most everything, especially swap file usage.
