My idea for a rig

It might be worth it, lots of useful things in it. Especially the anti-static wrist bands.

Actully the static band is kind almost why i was going to buy the kit lol. ye i can just buy 1 an keep my sets but this kit kinda looked good. A;lso my other hobbies are airsofting (for those unsure what that is its abit like paintball but instead of paintballs replica guns that fire plastic bbs) a lot of fun an a lot less pain than you think :).

Anyway back to the rig.

few more questions

1,When making a computer and no longer using IDE for anything so sata only is this going to cause problems or need bios settings changed ??. as i dont belive i will have any ide cables apart from the floppy which im only getting as thers still a few drivers need floppy and i also think the idea of adding all the camera card slots is genious. as i take photos a lot this will save a lot of time, give the drive some actull use and also stop me loosing my card readers :S. 1 i lost still has my camera card in it but unsure if its in my junk stash or fell into a bin or such.

2, can someone confirm if 2 275s will be sli or crossfire cus all i remember is sli is nvidia and ati is crossfire.

3, Windows 7 is it 32 and 64 bit ? i will be runnign 64bit as all the bits i have will need it but do i need to buy windows 7 64bit or will 1 cd give the option for both ???.

4, Which anti virus is better kaspersky or nortan ?

You wobt have any problems with IDE, im guessing your going to build the rig then do a fresh install??

When i installed everything, the drivers were already there, all i had to do was load the OS and install the remaining MB drivers :)

2 275's would be in SLI, because its a Nvidia card :)

oo it will be a total new build so nothign will be on it bt im still consideringto have noo traditional drives at all as i really dont use alto of disk space and any music an such i put on my Mybokk 500gig which is so handy to back stuff up. Really apart from a few odd programs and things like photo shop an things all i do is install games and sometimes edit movies. i see as using SSD only for starters then when they get bigger installign 1 as a 3rd drive is a good option. so say have 2 120gig drives in raid 0 now then in maybe 6 months to a year buy a massive 1 for storage with the way i use games and stuff i probably wont even need to go into extra space for ages. the 1tb HDDs look ok and if i partition it then i will make defrag easy but i really dontthink i would usethat all considering i have 2 drives and still have 50gb+ of space on both of them in 5 years :).
 
In response to your 3rd question about windows 7, the release candidate is available to download for free. You choose whether to download the 32bit or 64bit as an ISO image, then you can burn it to a DVD and create your own Windows 7 installation disk. This will be free until March 2010 when you can buy yourself a copy of the released version.

There is a thread in the software forum that has the links to download Windows 7 and a list of product keys to activate it.

Hope that makes sense

sorry i ment if you pre order off of over clockers how will thy know which version u want say ifu asked for umtimate then what ?.
 
Using 2 120SSD's in RAID will be quick! and pricey! but if you don't need the storage then why not! :)

Thats what i was trying to mention on over clockers pre order page it only has home, pro an ultimate adition thers no note of 32 or 64 bit so i was asking if it means that 1 version has both versions ?

Get 64 bit, i got 32bit vista and now regret it

I always usally wait abit before buying any new windows which is a good idea i would have got xp 64 bit an still tempted to get it for this pc an use it as a back up when i get my new 1. So that if anything goes wrong i can use this 1 to scream and cry to ask whats wrong :D. My 1st windows was 98 and i didnt update to xp was out a wile. I kind of had to update as windows 98 could only support 512mb ram or such i forgot now. then now xp 32 only supports 4gig of ram if your lucky. XP 64 says it can support 128mb of ram but i think i heard a few people say thy had problems. My current MB can take up to 8 gig or ram so runnign xp 64bit may b an option for my back up :). I was also thinking of upgrading this 1 but unsure what my Asus M2N32 WS Professional can take i know its am2 but not sure what is the highest am2 chip is and maximum Nvidia card is i think it may be the 9800 but not 100%.

if i am to buy a pc now this is what i will get and maybe a few silent fans for inside and other bits na peices i gues another question are the sata silver wires really that good or worth it ??.

Got you now. I'm honestly not sure how you choose. I think most people are either getting the Release Candidate free until March or buying 64-bit Vista with an upgrade voucher.
