No fancy stuff. I'm trying to make a decent system for around $1k that also has nice asthetics. I settled on the Aopen XC Cube barebones box that Hardware Analysis and many others have been touting. I think it will strike a nice balance between performance, price, noise and asthetics.
the rest:
3.2 GHz P4 512k buffer
1G pc3200 DDR
160G Seagate SATA
ASUS 9600XL video card
I'll also grab the M-Audio Audiophile 96/24 card out of my current computer. Not sure what to do about CD/DVD-RW, but I'll probably do without a DVD burner until prices come down some. However I might splurge for one of the Plextor drives. We'll see.
This will be a serious upgrade from my current(1.3gHz P4) computer to say the least. It is slow, can't multitask, and sounds like a slightly muffled coffee grinder.
As for the water cooling, I just can't get used to the idea of pumping water into a computer!
ta-ta,
