FS: Athlon XP Multimedia PC.

Centauri · 04-09-2003, 02:24 PM

Hello guys, up for sale is my multimedia PC system:

Athlon XP 1700+ @ 1.46GHz. (I have been running it at 1.8GHz/1.7v/2200+ on a bus speed of 328MHz for well over 2 months without any signs of instability.)
A Spreeze HSF with an 80mm fan.
TWO 256MB sticks of Kingston 2700 DDR 333MHz RAM for a total of 512MBs.
An 80GB Seagate Barracuda ATA/133 7200RPM HD.
A 4GB Seagate Medalist ATA/66 5400RPM HD. (For use as a backup drive)
A Lite-ON 48x24x48x CD-RW. (Beige)
I am also going to include a finicky Lite-On 24x CD-ROM. It works perfectly fine in my Pentium II 266 system, but seems to cause a conflict in this one. Do as you wish with it.

( It is currently not hooked up.)
A 1.44MB Floppy Drive. (Beige)
A 128MB DDR Radeon 9100 4x AGP card manufactured by Sapphire. (The original fan on this died so I screwed on a fan from a Pentium 1, works great, and runs much cooler now.)
A Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound card.
A 56k v.90 Creative Labs ModemBlaster.
A Leadtek TV/FM tuner & recorder card. Includes wireless remote.
An MSI KT4V motherboard:

VIA KT400 Chipset
8x AGP
6 PCI Slots
1 CNR Slot
3 DDR RAM Slots for a maximum of 3GBs.
USB 2.0
Bluetooth
And ATA/133

The board also allows for 1MHz stepping of the bus speed, and core voltage tweaking up to 1.7v. Also, I updated this board to the latest BIOS from MSI and it is now fully compatable with the new Athlon XP 3000+.

And last but not least, an Antec SLK3700AMB case. I don’t need to tell you how great this case is, it is currently one of the highest rated around. The paint job finish is excellent, kudos to Antec. Here is a run down of it;

350 watt Dual-Fan Antec SmartPower supply
4x 5.25” drive bays with rails.
A removeable floppy drive cage which holds 2 drives.
And a removeable 5-drive hard drive cage.
120mm Antec case fan in the rear with a spot up front for one more.
And, a removeable/washable air filter…

I did a rather nice cabling job on this box if I do say so myself, though I didnt deal too much with the IDE ribbons because I had always planned to get rounded ones and never did.

The machine will come with all of the software CDs that came with the componets, including:

Nero 5.
MSI DVD.
MSI's driver and utility disc.
The SoundBlaster driver and utlity disc.
Cool 3D (Multimedia app for use with the Leadtek multimedia card)
VideoStudio 6 (Also for use with the Leadtek multimedia card)
The Radeon driver and utility disc.
And the driver and utility disc from LeadTek for the multimedia card

I will also include every piece of paperwork that I have accumulated with the various componets.

This machine will come preloaded with Windows 2000 Professional. I will NOT include a copy of the OS on CD. It is up to you to obtain your own copy of Windows if you do not wish to keep 2000 on the drive. I will also install Mandrake 9.0 if you wish and include the 3 burned discs if you wish.

I am selling this machine because I joined the military, and will of course be traveling. Time for a laptop.

Before any of you ask, let me say that I will NOT part this machine out, so please do not ask. I am looking for a quick sale to a single buyer.

I can provide references to any interested buyer as well as eBay feedback.

I am looking for $650 including shipping from Tulsa - OK - 74136 to anywhere in the CONTINENTAL USA, Or Best Offer.

If you want dibs, e-mail me and THEN post in the thread. I have the machine posted around the net so it would be easier to grant dibs based on e-mail arrival time. E-mail me at: MacDudeGuy AT Netscape DOT Net

Thanks for looking guys.

hey, how did u manage to get your USB to work at that high bus ?
I can get my xp 1700 cranking high, but I loose my usb over 137 and my wireless nic goes out at about 145mhz fsb

Centauri · 04-09-2003, 06:24 PM

Everything works fine. The NIC, both USB 2.0 and both USB 1.1 ports...

Not sure what would cause that kind of a problem with your system... Very odd.

You might want to contact the board manufacturer.

It just occured to me that your RAM may be the problem.

If you are using DDR 2100 RAM, you are going to have problems not to far beyond the 133MHz (266MHz) FSB range. CPUs are a lot more versatile by way of overclockability than RAM is. If you dont already have DDR 2700, I would suggest that you look into replacing your 2100 with some if you have any real interest in overclocking.
