QUOTE(apisgogo @ Nov 28 2007, 01:37 PM) Questions: 1. I need your opinion on this system, in terms of performance, reliability and whether it able to meet my objective (listed above) 2. Any other hardware recommendation, beside on this list? 3. If i want to bring the total cost down, without sacrificing significant performance, any recommendation? 4. Any other related comments appreciated. many thanks  hmm....why you choose P35-DS4 ? @ Rm700...quite expensive and no much function compare to P35-DS3. and the board cost Rm380 in LYP. Save you alot. If you want a better and more silent aftermarket hsf, take Artic Cooling Freezer Pro.  Best bang for the bucks. yea..a decent graphic card do fine for HD Movie play back....go for ATI HD2000/3000 series as their HD is meant High Defination...

QUOTE(osxchd @ Nov 28 2007, 02:04 PM) agree... ds3 will do the job for u good enough... i can see lots of good hsf around, but thermalright should b 1 of the best air cooled hsf around... save on mobo and go for better hsf... ya...thermalright good, but you may need sendiri choose own favourite fan to place on the heatsink, because all thermalright product do not include fan for you  |

What say you guys? im tend towards 3870... for the hd-dvd addon xbox, i think ebay offer cheaper (RM4++) combo drive (hd-dvd + blu-ray) cost abt RM1k (direct import) haha...seems like you got alot of budget... hmm...what i think is...HD3850 will do fine on HD Movie play back also, ATI made their HD series is for High Defination movie play back....HD3850 can save you some bucks... |
