Official "System Builders" Thread

[Glordit]

Anyone have the plesure of using Intels new E5200 It's probably the cheapest 45Nm you can get for R900! Well I was going for a E2200 ~R860 with my new PC in march but hey for a little more why not!

Since there is no "modding" Thread here, I think this is the right Thread to put this:

Im looking forward into modding a Gigabyte Setto 1000 Chassis.
Apparently they are HUGE (with 7 HDD bays and 4 ROM bays) plus extra cheap at R650.
Now comes the question: I cant buy stuff online (via The Prophecy Shop or elsewhere), so Im asking now all the Cape Townians, if they know where to find this specific case. I checked google for ComputerMania, Incredible Connection, Chaos Computers and LANworld. Does anyone perhaps know?

[Takiro]

Some places to special orders. Ask around. It's what I do. My entire PC was brought down from JHB bit by bit.

I was looking at the Setto but the Cooler Master Elite 33x Series caught my eye. Not as cool looking as the Setto. R690 w/ a 360Watt PSU

Um,

I was wondering about Zaps.co.za

Is it legit? Anybody use them before?

Zaps is cool. Easier would be to just go to your nearest pc shop and ask them to to get you that case. Almost all pc shops have a rectron account. You'll have to wait maybe 2 or 3 days for the case.

Who said anything about a case. I waaaaant that Guild Wars: Nightfall Zboard :D

Oh never mind. There've been people here that have used zaps before. They seem to be ok.

That version of the chassis sucks, imo, because it doesn't have the 2 120mm fan holes on the side :p Like this one:



Granted, it does sacrifice the extra hard drive bays, but I wouldn't mind. You, on the other hand with your stupidly long anime list, might want lotsa bays ;)

As for ordering the Setto 1000, just go to any computer shop that you know is reliable, and has been in operation for more then five years. As Chev said, most shops have an account with Rectron ,so ordering the chassis shouldn't be a problem.

Would have gone with a Gigabyte X3 but had too few drive bay's - lol, lotsa bays is what I do want! + it's get stupidly long every day.

Does any one know where I could find 140mm fan grill? I'm wanting to cut out the ones I have in my case at the moment, but I don't want to if I can't find something to replace them with

Western Digital Hard Drive Caviar SE 16 - SATA-300 - 16MB Cache - 500GB R 886

[Cleric]

Looks good. SATA-300? What does the 300 mean?

Sata I is 150mbs
SATA II is 300mbs

It's the transfer speed.

[Cleric]

Aha. Thanks Chev, as always.
