Just checking in here after my VDR virtual vacation. I got the virtual speedos hanging out to dry. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
OK, Goose.... the deadline to light this candle is approaching. You planning on building this thing on your kitchen table or do you have a workbench? Please tell me that you aren't planning on using the floor with a heavy shag carpet. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Ridgerunr,
Did you get my email? If not...just hit the bottom link in my signature. That's all I was sending anyway. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I'm Here too.
Oh yeah Heavy shag carpeting is good for building computers on.....ZAP!!!!! use the kitchen table if you don't have a work bench....make sure you have plenty of room and as few distractions as possible....
The kitchen table is round and my case is retangular. Therefore I will use the dining room table which is rectangular and large. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I thought a deep pile would do for carpet. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
The countdown continues........

A bit cooler outside; static builds up. be sure to touch the casing first each time you handle a component or go into the case. You can plug in the power supply, keeping it off, and that will ground the case (as long as your house wiring is grounded properly--some houses have a ground jack in the outlet, but may actually not be connected https://discussions.virtualdr.com/).
Hi All, I am back from the metroplex with a nvida ge force 2 MX 400 64MB video card at a cost of $99.00. No big break here. There were no 32MB in three stores. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Good choice. I remember just a few months ago the 32MB version was $99 at bestbuy.com. The 64MB was like $135, I think. It is a buyers market.
Unfortunately I may not be present at the beginning of the build, as I am probably going to the state museum for a Haloween party. Not really my age group, but my parents always like to go to the pumpkin auction. I'll sign on as soon as I get back.

Imagine. I named myself after an outdated programming language.
My psychology: If your computer is faster than mine (PI 75 Mhz, 24MB RAM), you have ABSOLUTELY no right to complain.
Goose,
Well, unfortunately it is looking more and more like I will not be around for tomorrow night's gala affair. I really hate to miss the initial fun, but... If time permits I will check in late friday to see how its going. But more than likely it will be saturday morn before I join the BT action (of course it will be done by then, but...).
Refresh my memory on something though. Did you buy the boxed retail (non-oem) processor? And what heatsink/fan combo did you go with?

Bookmark your post to make it easier to find.
And remember, please post back whether the problem is resolved or not.
Hi DrMDJ, Boxed retail and Cooler Master.

Sounds like you got some really good deals there, gg. Good going. Not now, but after you get the basic system running, you may want to download/install the latest drivers from Nvidia. That system will smoke. Remind me again: what sound card?
Hi
This is a boxed retail CPU, and you needed buy a coolermaster?
huh?
boxed CPU (used to??) come with their own brand cooler... holomark and all.
so, what's the deal here?

I'm Just a hobbyist.
Kind regards, Jaak

Goose....will you be starting a fresh delta thread for the build.....anybody that doesnt have tickets see the QoH before they run out....
I am very interested in the performance of that card...I just priced it on pricewatch and it certainly meets my budget on the new card for the athlon....now my curiosity is really peaked for tomorrow night.
OH NO!...Have you seen the Feedback Forum Goose? Shutting down VDr for maintenance tomorrow evening at 8:00pm Central! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Boy I'm gonna be selling some PPV tickets now, sarrkazztic... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ It's a blackout!
Is there much of a difference between the mx 200 and the mx400 version of this card???
