Ducks & Angels. What more could you want?

2006/01/29

Well, I think it's done. Other than one slight upgrade I want to do in the future (I want to re-install WinXP and to do so, I want to upgrade my hard drive to the recently released 147 GB Western Digital Raptor), I think it's complete.

Final Configuration of the newly-named Zeus:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
AMD Opteron 175 Dual Core 2.2 GHz 1MB L2 Cache
Zalman 7700AlCu Cooler
74 GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Hard Drive (69.23 usable gigs)
4x300 GB 7,200RPM Maxtor Hard Drives in RAID5 Array (838.38 usable gigs)
Plextor PX-716SA DVD±RW Dual Layer SATA DVD-ROM
OCZ Platinum RAM 2x1GB PC3200
eVGA 7800 GT Video Card 256 MB RAM
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music Sound Card
Antec NeoPower 480 Modular Power Supply (Seasonic S12 600W Power Supply in the mail to be installed)
Antec P160 Case with 2x120mm cooling fans
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
Ergodex DX1 Input System
Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel
Klipsch 2.1 THX Certified Speakers
Viewsonic VA720 17" Monitor (to be upgraded in the future to Dell 2007FPW or 2407FPW)

Ok, so I thought I was done upgrading, but I guess I'm not...monitor definitely needs to go up in size and the Viewsonic will make a nice secondary monitor (I need multiple monitors after working on them every day at work) and the hard drive upgrade would be very nice and coming soon...

The HTPC is awaiting an operating system at this point (which is in the same shipment as the Seasonic S12 600W power supply) and then I can get it running. Stats on the HTPC:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard
AMD XP64 3700+ 2.4GHz, 1 MB L2 Cache
Thermalright XP90 Cooler
Patriot Extreme Performance RAM 2x1GB PC3200
nVidia 6600 GT Video Card 128MB RAM
Chaintech 7.1 Audio Card
BenQ 1620PRO DVD±RW Dual Layer DVD-ROM
Samsung Spinpoint P80 80GB Hard Drive
Silverstone LC-14M Case
Seasonic S12 430W Power Supply

Can't wait to get it up and running!
