well, finally we convinced our dad buying a new computer... but it had to be 'his' way... with a flatscreen and laserprinter AND in a local shop AND it had to be bought right now

we're getting this:
P4 2.4ghz
this gigabyte mobo
256MB RIMM 32bit (ev. Kingston)
80Gb HD maxtor ( i asked for fluid bearing)
i also asked for such a nice superflower case (aluminium, 350W, for only 100€)
MSI ti 4200
general stuff
15" LCD samsung
Brother laserprinter

this for 2000€ without VAT:wtf:

well, should I be happy or not....
if i bought it @loveno/tones/forcom/.. it would be much cheaper
if i waited till december it would be MUCH more powerful (granite bay, nv30)

so if I did it 'my' way i would get a monster pc for the same money

give me yer thoughts

The Senile Doctor

it's a great setup, mobo roxx, rimms will give ya extreme bandwith, and you can pump that cpu up a little.

ti4200 still roxx



cpu : 275 euro
ti4200 : 150 euro
rimms 250 euro
gigabyte 200 euro
case 100 euro
hdd 160 euro
some general stuff : 200 euro
laserprinter 250 euro
lcd 170 euro

If your dad pays everything, I think you should be happy (never look a given horse in the mouth), but if you pay part of it, you'd better convince your dad to wait a month or two.

and like calantac said, that's a nice setup

TeuS

thx,
you can call me 'ondankbaar', but we pay 500€ ourselves, better HD/case/cpu not included

i didn't manage to convince my dad nor bro' either; I certainly hope it's that type gigabyte, all I need then is a good hs/fan

The Senile Doctor

buy yourself a pal 8492+ fan, and that 2.4 will do 145-150 fsb (ram will have to run that normally), that's 2.7 ghz, but you need to keep your ram quadpimped

thx, some more questions

a) kingston or apacer ram?
b) upgrade to 2.53: 70€ (vat inclu), worth it?

alu case costs 62€ (vat inclu) more, transport from colorcase included...rip-off:
stock case is worth 100€, and the alu 80-90€

and yes, it's a 8IHXP worth 260€

lazybones

where did you find an lcd for 170 euro??

@Teus, I've got a great tip for ya. 15" TFT's are incredebly expensive in Belgium, unlike in Germany. I bought a 17" Samsung TFT this week @ funcomputer.de for 530 eur incl transport.

Superb desing, quality samsung TFT panel (wiseview) and 0 dead pixels! I would highly recommend it. My dad is against buying online or abroad like your dad, but when he saw my screen he wanted to order one right away too! €530 for a 17" quality TFT is as cheap as it gets! Go buy one now!!

By the way, the other components seem A-OK. If your dad wants to spend 2000+ eur on it, let him, it's his money and I'd be greatful he chose such a kickass pc. You're not going to tell me that ti4200 is for him.

TeuS

hehe
I first had a talk with the dude that sold the pc's to let him know which type of mobo/cpu/graca we wanted. he mailed it to my dad: "this is my proposal" and dad didn't notice anything

'bout that tft: he just doesn't want it (i've just ****ed up my norsk-it "bestelling" as you know. they've got teh cash, but as the ordering system is fully automated and they don't answer the mails i've got some probs)

well... i could take a 17" CRT of low quality and let a made order a 17" TFT... i'll think about it

Tell me the part I missed plz
