DIY PC rig - suggestions?
Hey all,
I'm going to be building a PC strickly for gaming. I was wondering about some suggestions regarding casing and general SILENCE.
In general I was thinking about a relatively low-spec machine: 2.6GHz Intel + 512MB (or 1GB) 400MHz DDR ram and an ATI 9600 XT card.
What I dont want is a vacuum cleaner when I turn the thing on. The tower is going to be tucked away anyway, so I dont care about aesthetics.
Are those mini-pc (cubish) PCs any good? Overheating/performance issues for gaming? Like these... http://www.svc.com/systems.html
Is there any equivalent system to the G5 regarding cooling? Lots of slower fans? How about silenced Power Units? I guess thats what makes the most noise.
Thanks for any feedback.
PS Before getting bitch slapped by all, I'm sorry but most of the games I want to play are on PC (Day of Defeat, etc) and to get the same level of quality for gaming I have to shell out about double on a G5 or so. For about 800euros I can get the PC and then was gonna think of getting a nice 19inch TFT.
Yeah yeah... TFTs arent great for gaming, but I can survive...
