Requirement is for no gaming, just lots of web browsing, poker and sports betting. And I'd like it to be very quiet.
I picked the mobo/cpu/memory based on one of the bundles but with bigger memory. Samsung HDD because I heard they were quiet.
2x Samsung SM-245B 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black £259.99
Abit IL9 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £41.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail £36.99
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) £31.99
Samsung SpinPoint S 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD161HJ) £28.99
What can I do for cheap quiet video? I want an extended desktop across the 2 monitors using windows XP. For £60 I can get: 512MB Gigabyte HD 2600 PRO PCI-E (x16) 128 Bit GDDR2, CrossFire 2 x DVI-I/HDTV from elsewhere. Is it an alternative to use 2x something like Asus ATI Radeon EAH2400 Pro HTP Silent 256MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £26.99
Case/PSU. I don't want to spend unneccesarily, but also don't want to risk a noisy set up, so recommendations please.
Akasa AK-ZEN-01-BK Zen Black Case - No PSU £26.99
Antec Solo Quiet Mini Tower Case - No PSU £49.99
Antec Sonata Designer Quiet Case - EarthWatts 500W PSU £73.99
All help appreciated. It's the noise thing that I really am unsure about. Ive never even experienced a PC with case fans, just super noisy psu fans, cpu fans and vid card fans!
thanks
