[Noisebridge-discuss] New Desktop Build in 6 years

[MCS Wilde]

My friend recommend I write the NoiseBirdge community and ask some 
questions and if I had any.

I'm looking to upgrade my deskstop in a significant way right now. I 
recently just moved my desktop PC from my coined Computer Room into my 
bedroom with my 42'' Samsung. I bought audio couplers to join my PS3 and 
PC using my great Logitech speakers and sub-woofer. So to say, I'm 
pretty happy with my technology set up right now since moving it into my 
room to help a number of things. Entertainment and my work related data. 
My machine now purpose is to be a entertainment PC but also has some 
power to render out After Effects projects that goes along with my work. 
I renderout projects that are 20-30gigs so I want a machine that can be 
built for that because I'm lucky this machine has or I never would have 
learned what I have with Adobe Products.

I'm at the point now where I'd like to piece out building a new computer 
to be a Entertainment and Work powerhouse. The one I have right now, the 
case I've had since 2004 and it's just time to move on.

I'm willing to post the links of the components and make sure everything 
is compatible. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with 
that. I'm pretty certain everything is but I want any recommendations I 
can get.

The goal here though is I want something that is a significant 
improvement than what I have right now, that can handle my work related 
needs with lots of RAM and Video card power, and at night enjoy it for 
my entertainment needs.

I want to first start by stating my current PC specs;

AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.6ghz
Kingston 3.25gb RAM
Windows XP (32bit version)
Western Digital 500gb sata
FOXCONN A7VMX-S/A7VMX-K/A7GMX-S/A7GMX-K motherboard

Now I was thinking of these for an upgrade;

ASUS Hudson D4 Micro ATX (I know micro's are small but my new case folds 
the motherboard out, easier to get to, for Mid or Micro boards don't 
matter which, would like to have more PCI slots though incase I needed 
them.)
