Hi everyone.

I am waiting for the release of AMD Athlon 64 3800 at SLS. Meanwhile I am doing some research into the following area.

1) Motherboard (Higher Ends) that supports Athlon 64 3800+ Processor

2) 1 Gigabtye of Memory (ECC or Non ECC?)

3) A really good Aluminium Casing (Very well ventilated) and a Good Power Unit.

Any recommendation so that I can at least have a direct to head to while I am researching? Any help is welcome.

I agree with the Antec 550 TruePower Power unit.

Dunno about the casing. Was thinking of getting the Antec P160. Reviews for it are pretty good.

Normal RAMs will do

Is that casing meant for Servers? Kinda of an overkill I think. My PC will only have 3 harddisk and 3 Optical Drives.

What ya think of the Antec P160 Anodised Aluminium Mid Tower?

If you think the Antec P160 suck, please tell me why and try to tell me all the great points about Silverstone.

I thank you in advance.
