birthday shopping spree

so far it's been a kickass birthday, here's the computer goodies I just ordered:

MSI|K7N2 Delta-ILSR Retail

Barton 2500 333mhz (Model#: AXDA2500BOX, so says newegg)

SLK-900A heatsink

Sunon 92mm 119cfm fan basically a vantec tornado...

fan controller to keep my ears from bleeding

Speedstrip for barton (anyone had any experience with these? whatdya think?

a Ratpad

and some atomic fan grills (92mm and 120mm) to keep my fingers out of the cuisinart that my computer shall become!

This shall go with the 512mb of Samsung 2700 DDR I've still got and the two 80gb WD SE drives I still haven't opened yet (for glorious RAIDage)

Very nice, but I woulda got a 3000+ or 3200+.

I'm either gonna upgrade to the MOBO you just ordered or I'm gonna get the KT6 Delta-FIS2R.

What vid card do you have??

thanks. I wanted a 3000 or higher, but the price was ridiculous, and the 2500 was under $100.

The KT-600 is a decent chipset but the nf2 still beats it out. I'll let you know how I like the board when I get it all up and running

Alas, I have but a mere gainward gf3... I might go ATI for christmas but I can't afford any more upgrades at the moment

Hey, belated Happy B'day, my fellow 9/13er!!

Yoshi, who's a kick-ass wife, got me a Shuttle, so I went on a shopping spree of my own. 1 GB of RAM via Circuit City (just $120), a DVD burner and (coming soon) a P4 2.4 GhZ chip.

Along with the Shuttle came a 120 GB hard drive and I've got an ATI 9700 AIW sitting here waiting for a home. I can't wait to put it all together!!

hehe 9/12 ;P

That's awesome about your stuff, I wish i had a dvd burner... I originally wanted a p4 with hyperthreading and an abit IG7-MAX3, but it was way too expensive. I'm really jealous of your graphics card though... I'm still stuck with a gf3... which probably won't cut it when doom3 and hl2 finally come out

I'm with ya on the anticipation... I can't wait to boot this baby up

it's aliiiiiive!!!

everything seems to be working well so far... I've only gone into the bios so far... with the ac on it said the ambient temp was 24C and the cpu temp was 19C... the bartons have internal diodes right? could it be off? it doesn't make sense the cpu temp would be lower than the ambient temp ô_o

annnyyyhooow, I'll be doing some more testing this weekend... I'll let yall know how it goes.

That's odd. Are you getting those temps from the BIOS? Maybe the MOBO sensors are screwed up. I've heard of that happening.
