Hi all, been a long time lurker here (month or so) as I need a new system.
Finally have what I think I need but have a couple of questions. -
Would I be able to connect the x1800 up to my 5 year old crt monitor temporarily until I can afford a bigger/ better TFT ?
How likely is it that I will get Manchester core on cpu (retail) ?
Do I need to buy sata 2 cable also ?
Any points of view would be much appreciated.
proposed build is as follows - To go into akasa eclipse-62 (apparently sold out here at the mo. Also using dvd and cd drives from old pc.
Would be trying to clock moderately , is graphics card very clockable ?
