hmmm....my Ideq 200T is breaking down bros.

the USB can use...sometimes cannot....and also it wont accept a new HDDD casing i just bought!

anyhow, how much is a SFF casing nowadays in malaysia? and a comparable microATX mobo to go along with it?

i still want to preserve my CPU and GC if can, so something socket 478 and AGP would do nicely ( Money very scarce la these days >.>)

can the SFF Sifus help? i cannot go big casing anymore now >.<

yeah. but now after seeing the prices, suddenly the pentium D is looking mighty interesting.

i spend a bit less, can spend a bit more on graphics card and stuff.

Asus or gigabyte?

question = how much is the lian li casing? silverstone casing?

also, most games nowadays needs at least 2.0GHz to function right?
so the 6300 is pretty much usless even though its a very good performer? at least for a gamer?

thx SFF!

p.s.: once SFF, always will think SFF biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

lol, those 2.0 can't be use for comparison these days... doh.gif
those speed rate are useless when comparing with different type of proc, if what u said is true then Pentium D is far better than Core2 Duo lor, cause the lowest Pentium D is 2.8 while the highest Core2Duo is 2.8 (core2 Extreme), then Pentium D 3.0 are better than Core2 Extreme 2.8 shakehead.gif

see the above chart, can u spot the Pentium D model 960, not even near Core2 Duo E6400 laugh.gif

& bout that 2.0 thingy to play game, E6300 is enough la, in fact it's more than enough, u should be more concern bout ur vga, Google a lot my friend wink.gif

oh....then i AM ketinggalan zaman. D:

ok, i was thinking along these lines:

C2D 6300
Asus P5V-VM DH WIF
1.5GB ram
120+300 GBs HDD
either a 1650 or a 1950
microfly ( or a lian li if i am impatient)


any more suggestions?

all i can recommend for u the casing as this is the casing recommendation thread, for ur other hadware please ask in the hardware thread nod.gif

for casing = lian li cause u can mount four 5" bay drive & two 3.5" bay drive, that the only advantage i spot from microfly, others pros/cons can't tell u cause i also dunno, maybe our forumer here who owns one of the casing can give the pros/cons for em,

but one thing i'm curious is ur vga, why 1650 or 1950? what a big performance gap between them, i mean 1650 for mainstream while 1950 is high end? usually ppl would asking to recommend them between two similar card lor like 1950 or 7950 rclxub.gif

haha. well, i know this is the casing recomendation thread, but its not wrong to just mention it right? :3

i would liek to also know any other choices i have for SFF casings if anyone can mention any.

about the VGA, i am #1 a loyal ATI user #2 its a personal preference. i think being in the mid point is a bit better than have to rush to the top, no?

aih.......

i am in impatient b**tard and bought another casing - icute of all things tongue.gif

but i bought the QPC casing, which is quite small, tho gargantuan to compare with my old iDeq.

one good thing - the fans are QUIET.

i'm sitting right next to it now and i cant even hear a sound.

of course me using a E4300 helps. but the casefans are quiet.

i'll post pics if my line is much more stable.
