Re: system x2

dell has used/uses(?) proprietary mobo standoffs/mounting configs. make sure it will accept a standard atx/matx/whatever you buy.

if it won't, you won't find a better deal for $100 than

I was looking into micro-atx for thermaltake lanbox build for a friend and if you have a little more money to spend there not bad at all. I might even consider one when i start a new build in a year or two

[Wizrdwarts]

Re: system x2

Forget the cheap Thermaltake PSU. Get this instead if the build is coming up soon.

Subtotal: $376.96
wow deal!!!

[megawhompertoo]

Re: system x2

i suspect you will stay unsure of the board until you plug it in and it works, and that's provided it comes with a backplate, cables, etc...

i don't mind buying open box on lots of stuff at newegg, but i've never tried buying a mobo.

the case is ugly, but there's no accounting for taste. the psu looks like a good deal.

processor is fine for the price, getting a bit dated.

suggest following ram:

same price (if you take free shippping into account), does the same timings at the same frequency with .1 to .2 less volts.

Re: system x2

ya that is interesting i was looking at that because she likes baby blue so weee LOL
good catch on the voltage there...and i did also in fact find this psu that i sorta like for way cheeper with great reviews 2 rails with pleanty of amps..

check it out ..cool...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371019

yeah. that psu would work just fine. 18A on each rail (mind ya', they're probably rated at 26A-28A total, not 36A like you'd perhaps expect), active pfc, good stuff for a non-overclocking system. the one you originally linked is obviously a better psu, but it'd also be sort of overkill.
