should I be happy or not 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  |
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 |
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:) |
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€ :o |

@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!! :) http://www.xelo.net/ http://www.funcomputer.de/default.ph...&a rtnr=09629 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. ;) |
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 |

wrong account number I was in a hurry, while mailing my dad i copypasted an example of the 'vermelding' where I should have copypasted the bank/account number a small mistake causing lotsa trouble :/ |
pics upped, the moment I was going to cut in it my dad entered the garage to smoke one and was quite pissed off.... next try this evening     rest: http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00003.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00005.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00008.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00009.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00010.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00011.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00012.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00013.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00014.jpg http://www.madshrimps.be/upload/teus/case/PIC00015.jpg |
Is it just me or is 2000€ a bit much for all that? Here is my reccomendation for system components... AMD Athlon 2400+ Epox 8K9A2+ Corsair PC3500 Geforce 4 Ti4600/Radeon 9700 and all the other stuff you wanted. You'll have much better system at a similar price (I think), which you can overclock to be much faster than a 2.4GHz P4. If its Intel, Get: P4 2.4GHz Abit IT7MAX2 or the Asus equivalent Corsair PC3500 Geforce Ti4200 etc. I dont know about gigabyte boards. Also, Abits RMA policy doesnt extend beyond north america I think, not 100% sure. Seriously, when it comes to new computer parts warranty and service comes first. |
indeed septimus, you ARE right i COULD order that stuff...but the price would be outrageous e.g.:price stock case: 100€ I asked for him to order @colorcase that case... I had to pay 65€ more (transport included)... he asks 150€, colorcase 100€ so imagine what would happen if I did this for everything he has printed the offer: 2650€, VAT included :wtf: |
case done cause I had too many problems with the first hole using the circlecutter, i used my "wipzaag"for the other holes front will be cutted with circlecutter later (is plastic) |
it's here final pc: p4 2.53 asus p4t533 1*256mb samsung rimm 17"TFT laserprinter logitech cordless desktop 48x writer (they gave me an aopen, if i want i can change it for a philips...should i do it?) 80gb hd fluid bearing |
Aopen cdrw 32/12/48 works fine over here only the cd from aopen that was in the package failed to burn -ironic- , after that first i nver got an error again burned about 200 cd's now with lots of different brands, no problems , even with 'boecht' cd's (no label und so) |
damn, it was a MSI (they painted the frontplate) winxp recognizes it, nero and so NOT tried to update firmware, bios detects it but even winxp not anymore ??? lite on 52* arriving next week:) |
