Also is that gfx card ok or can i get something just as good for that money?

If you can improve it for the same money which is £394 inc case please let me know asap...i need to order this baby tomoz

good man

thanks mate you are a diamond....

i need a gfx card for video editing.....basically will copy video footage from the camcorder to pc and then use virtual dub to cut bits out etc.....can u suggest a gfx card for the same money i chose?

also the ram do u think its ok? i am stuck between that and the geil 2 x 512mb

It will not be used for overclocking or games....

Is the mobo and hdd OK?? or would u change it?

Basically I have £350 - £400 can u beat that spec lol.....the cheaper the better....thanks....

How does the camcorder connect to the PC?

I believe either svideo or firewire........my chosen mobo has firewire ports right??

Cheers I will go with your case

thanks mate

what do you think about my choice of RAM?? bit confused there....

lets say if I put 45mins of video footage from the camcorder onto the hdd....how much space am I looking at?

thanks

dayum i need a mobo that supports firewire for the same money....roundabout anyway.....any ideas?

hey just found this:

Asus A8N-VM CSM Micro ATX (Socket 939) PCI Express Motherboard (MB-119-AS)

its got on board nvidia 6250 gpu with tv out :-)

then I can ditch my initial gpu altogether

then i can double check the camcorder attachment and if firewire is required buy a card

what do you reckon?

so here it is again:

Antec SLK3800BUK Black Quiet Midi Tower Case - 400W SmartPower PSU (CA-048-AN) 50
Pioneer DVR-111DBK 16 x 16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM (CD-038-PO) 26.32
Samsung SpinPoint P SP1634N 160GB ATA-133 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-009-SA) 51
Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop v2.1 - OEM (KB-052-MS) 23.44
Asus A8N-VM CSM Micro ATX (Socket 939) PCI Express Motherboard (MB-119-AS) 59
Crucial 1GB DDR PC3200 CAS3 (CT12864Z40B) (MY-030-CR) 61.00
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA3200BPBOX) (CP-11 110

Just took £40 off the original spec with a better case.....

What dya reckon????

If firewire is required then add another £10.....

will it all fit in the case???

xirokx · 28 Apr 2006 at 00:17

excellent......

hopefully firewire is all i need...why would you think it may need a tv card?

im doing this for a charity (volunteering you see) hence the budget.....

thanks for your help mate

xirokx · 28 Apr 2006 at 00:23

well thats good news in a way cuz someone just donated a brand new panasonic digicam nvg015 something or other so hopefully firewire is all that is needed....

Charity work, good on you!

cheers mate........you made it all come together too.....so thanks for that

Will place the order tomoz

Hopefully they will pay an extra £10 for next day delivery

(saturday) so we can have it up and running asap
