  • And using verkkokauppas comp calculator I got total:
    1215.80 €

    It was cheaper than I was hoping to think . Nice surprise actually.

      1346 Samsung/Nec 3.5" 1.44MB
      1393 Hercules Digifire 7.1
      2120 Logitech Cordless Desktop Optical

      I have cd-r already, but it's very bad quality and it's slowly dying, and I've heard only good things about plextor plexwriter. What do you think about this set?
      Looks very promising. It's actually my original suggestion, except for the CD-RW drive and the sound card. Yes, Plextor's products do have a high-quality. I myself have a Plextor Plexwriter 24/10/40A and I like it pretty much. So far all discs have always succeeded, so I haven't had any trouble.

      BTW, when you buy your new home theatre amplifier, do remember to check that it will have an optical input for digital sound. And you also need to get the analog sound (front and rear) from the sound card using 2x miniplug stereo -> 2x RCA cable. But that's nothing to worry about now.

        So you mean that you have actually decided to buy those speakers, but later on when you have enough cash for that?

        • Heh.. let's just say that it seemed like a very nice system to have. But again I have to do more research when that time comes and I have money. Now I'll wait for a bit and order these tonight if I feel good about this.

          I still think that's pretty good set for the money I'm paying.. I thought it will rise close to 2000 euros.

          • Well, the Hercules sound card saved you about 100 € compared to an Creative SoundBlaster Extigy or Audigy Platinum with digital outputs and FireWire. And now you also get a good case for abit cheaper. So I always shop around myself too before I order, because there's always good products for abit cheaper prices available. BTW, MBnet Hintaseuranta is one good tool too.

            Just remember that you need to have a power cord for your new AOpen case, because that one doesn't include one.

            • Yes I noticed.. not a problem. What do you think, is 300W enough though?
              Should I get additional cooler for the case too, I think it's gonna be hot in there!

              • 300W will be fine. And there's already one extra cooler included with that case.

                • That's settled then. Now the only thing I have to do is to call there and order! Oh yes! Only one step away from salvation!

                    • So any tips about putting the cooler to the processor?
                      I have never done it before... I don't want to break it.

                        • Pekka, don't worry, AMD has been kind enough to provide extensive documentation about all CPU matters.

                          I suggest that you have a look at the PDF documentation available on the AMD website in the AMD Athlonâ„¢ XP Processor Tech Docs section.

                              • I rather get a Dell from Kaak, than buy a Mac. Unless Mono is a Mac dealer. Then I could reconsider.
