i just bought this... http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4202624


i have my dvd drive and cdrw drive, videocard, and soundcard...

my video card (geforce 4 mx 440) might be lacking a bit, what would be a better buy?

what kind of case with what kind of power supply should i get?

Is there any good hard drive deals going on either, my 40 gb is getting full really quickly.

and also what ram should i use. thanks :)

i know how to put computers together but im not sure on the parts to use for this one. I am going the team cheap route at the moment

[_=DeltaForce=_]

160 GB from OUtpost.com for $49... Its in the same page I posted... Just call outpost and say u want to combine shipping... Thats what I did

[SnowSurfer]

For Cases go here http://www.sp-computerinc.com/ ... Its really cheap in there...

575kb! :eek:

[SnowSurfer]

alright, thanks so what kind of connector for the harddrive do i need? is it sata or dma or what...sorry i know these questions sound noobish but i want to get the right stuff first so i dont have the ship it back if it doesnt work :)

[_=DeltaForce=_]

I have no idea about the connector... I m getting the hard drive tommorow...May be I ll let you know.

[SnowSurfer]

alright thanks, i think it should be an ide connector on the motherboard, maybe someone else can chime in and add their input

[_=DeltaForce=_]

Its just a regular IDE ATA... U did confuse me for a min LOL

[SnowSurfer]

delta is that case company reputable?

and any good deals on a new graphics card, i mean what would be the most bang for my buck

[zippyjuan]

Probably the most usable bang for the buck on a video card would be a Radeon 9600XT which is often seen around $150. The MX400 does not do any pixel shading which almost all games require now.

this is including, case, rounded cables, 400w power supply, 160gb hd, 1 512mb pc2700 thing of ram, a usb 2.0 hub, processor and motherboard, and a geforcefx5200 128 mb video card. I think i did pretty good for being team cheap :)
