I enjoyed your guide, Very detailed

Atnevon · May 28, 2008, 04:16 PM

Nice Guide. I had a great deal of questions answered here.

PapawHam · Jun 10, 2008, 02:45 AM

WIth the release of MS Home Server 2008 does anyone have this kind of information on building a home multi-use server for a home network (Media-Center, Gaming, and yea for use with work (VPN support to Hospitals). have had some suggestions but I am looking to dual or multi core processing, maximun ram, digital conversion of (Don't laugh) Vinyl 33 1/3 records to CD/MP3, Home videos, and a lot of storage for Photos (Daughter is a photographer, and then there is the 6 grandkids that each want to play on a computer.

Did I mention the Tech support for hospitals would like to use 3 or 4 monitors.

Well if anyone has some guidance I am all ears.

Thanks and keep up the great work you are all doing to help others.

MacGyverX · Oct 5, 2008, 09:50 PM

This is just to add to what Is here, Great advice and If you go to purchase a SATA hardrive and want them in raid configuration make sure they are all the same speed on the raid chain otherwise they all will perform at the speed of the slowest drive and you wont get the performance from the faster drives just thought id add that. Great Guide

I would say make a new thread, and list your complete system specs in that thread, then PM me the title.
If your profile specs are right, its because you have an AMD currently, which is not compatible with intel proc. We'll have to figure out what the best possible AMD proc u can get for that board is. That, or u need to get an intel board. E8600 is dope tho, u won't be dissatisfied.

It is. There's a post date with every post.

bruins004 · Dec 19, 2008, 12:55 AM

Its has been a while.
Sorry about that, but have been busy.
If you guys want to help me out I am all for that just send me a PM with info on the area u want to help out with since I cant really update all of it.
It is just such a beast to update by myself (really just need the build and deals sections updated).
I will give credit when due.

Well here is the main problem and that is that your Video card only supports Shader Model 2 and Farcry I believe uses Shader Model 3. So a new video card is a must. Obv. u def. need a new mobo, but here is my first question. The RAM u just bought is it DDR or DDR2, bc the Core 2 Duo needs DDR2 RAM.

aesedai · Feb 28, 2009, 01:21 PM

The mobo section isnt as much comprehensive as the rest of the sections.
iam looking to buy a new mobo which one should i go for i have about 450$ for the pc excluding the graphics card and tell me which one should i go for DDR2or DDR3 also tell me a bit about the future prospects.
PLZ!!!!
(A full recommendation for the pc would be highly appreciated)

Can you perhaps post the specs of your $375 build? Could have been a Pentium 3 for all we know.

EnergyFX · Sep 20, 2009, 05:34 AM

this needs updated or removed from stickie.

BinaryMage · Feb 12, 2011, 06:37 PM

If a mod is reading this, can this either be restarted or unstickied? It is multiple years old.
