Core 2 Duo Build

Posted April 20, 2007 at 04:04pm in Computers

I am almost done with my new box, I am only waiting for a drive I had to RMA and my two other drives. Here is the list of components

  • Hiper Type-R 580W Modular Power Supply
  • Kill-A-Watt
  • Dell E228WFP, 22″ Wide Flat Panel Monitor
  • NORCO RPC-800 Black Steel 4U Rackmount Case
  • Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB SATA II (2x)
  • NORCO RL-20 20″ 3-sections Ball Bearing Rail kit
  • GENERIC 6 ft. USB 2.0 Extension Cable (2x)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz
  • HIPER HFF-1B08N 80mm Blue LED Fan (2x)
  • Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 B2L-00047 Black Keyboard/Mouse
  • G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2, F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ
  • XFX PVT73GUGD3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3
  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum
  • Logitech 904353-0403 TrackBall
  • SAMSUNG SH-S182D/BEBE 18X DVD Burner
  • Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB
  • Right angle SATA data cables (4x)
  • Twin Connector right angle SATA power cables (2x)

Those are the parts I ordered. I will also have a 400gb SATA II from my current box and 2x 60mm fans. The 400gb will hold monthly full backups of about 50gb of data and twice a week incrementals, well maybe 3 times a week.

I have pictures and will be posting pictures when the drives come in.

What does a 19″ and 22″ Monitor have in common?

They are monitors, nothing else.

Here is my new 22″ Dell widescreen next to my 19″ Dell. I just build the system the 22″ is on and until the remaining parts come in I am only testing my unattended installs on it to get it right before I migrate. It works out to 9.5 cm in actual viewable screen width over the 19″, which is 3.75″
