Meaning you keep:

Your Case
Use the 500w Jeantec PSU
Your DVD/CD Drives
Floppy Drive
 
I like that that looks great I think its gona cost around £600 but thats so cool thanks
 
so if you cant afford it sell some of your old system or use your old hard disks and then buy the new ones when you have the cash
 
ok wel if he can get it that is a great spec computer and should run the latest programs with ease.:thumb:
 
thanks yes

once i sold all my old stuff together with all the s*** that i got lying around it should cover the cost im cool with that!

well case is 90% i will use it

however with the psu im a bit worried

i looked at it earlier opened it up tried it on my other machine works fine and its ~SO SILENT thank god

bad news is that i couldnt see any pci e express power lead should there be one??? i dont know but i presume there is one!

all i could find was normal molex, 2 sata connectors, lots of floppy connectors
and this 12v thing that is needed for pentium 4

so if this psu will not work for my pci e then yes i will have to get a new one!

im keeping my floppy drive
cdrw. dvdrw and cpu fan i checked to see if it supports the new cpus and it does!

anything i missed out?
 
its a very good hsf to be honest

its pretty silent and good at cooling

saves you £30

yer im sure its good

but i was intending to use my current cpu fan
u should see the model no1 in the first post of this thread.

looked on the site it appears that it does support all socket 939 speeds!

so if i just got the oem cpu i could save 20 or 30 quid there!!
lol
 
*dont buy an oem cpu because the warranty for that i believe is only one year instead of three years for the retail and use the fan that comes with the cpu why dont you want to use it?? i know you own a fan atm but i dont know why you think it is so much better

ermm let me find u a link

its a silenced fan and its proper silent im runing it on xp1800 rite now
a bit of a bitch to install thou :(
i looked at how to install it on a socket 939 not gona b easy:

http://www.quietpc.com/uk/amdcooling.php

its the one called Zalman CNPS7000B-CU LED Super Flower Cooler AMD and P4

only difference is mine has an A at the end but i just check the website (Zalman) said its good for all 939's!
 
im not sure bout this but i thikn that amd actually want youy to use their hsf andd if you dont it might have an effect on the warranty i aint sure about this so you will need to do some reading on it but that is what i believe

why?

Because it works ... even you can use it ... it is quiet ... AMD ain't gonna supply any s h i t HSF

Pay attention to advice ... we give it freely from EXPERENCE. ;)

If you use their HSF you get 3year warantee ... if you use you're own you get 1year ... maybe.

The HSF supplied doesn't look much, does it? It shows me how effective a simple design is. You only need to 'fit' a better HSF if you have a cooling problem.

:)
 
Keep the cooler you have on the XP1800

Use the new stock cooler on the 939 - im not kidding. You wont be dissappointed.

I have used them before, you haven't. Listen up ;)
