Following on from my thread here I'm needing to spec up a new CPU/MOBO/RAM to use in my fileserver box that has failed totally
My current thinking is this
Intel Core 2 Duo E2200 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.20GHz (800FSB) - Retail £47.99 (£56.39)
Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD ATI Micro ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £57.99 (£68.14)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) £24.99 (£29.36)
Sub Total : £130.97
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
City Link Parcel Next Day Shipping : £8.25
VAT is being charged at 17.5% VAT : £24.36
Total : £163.58
I'm happy with the CPU/RAM but I'm unsure about the board. I actually have a F-190HD in my HTPC and it is very good however I've heard plenty of stories of them failing....luckly I have a good one, which has never given me a moments bother
Should I stick with F-190HD or should I be looking at another mATX Board?
