It's alive!!!!!!

The new rig, that is!

It's not finished, work in progrees yet. Here is a quick rundown...

Chieftech Aluminum Mid Tower w/Acrylic Window
Antec True Power 430w
Epox 8K5A2+
Athlon 2100+
Vantec Copper thin fin cooler w/Delta
512mb Samsung PC2700@CAS2 with 166mhz FSB
Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb
Western Digital 80GB w/8mb cache
Lite On 16x DVD - Black
Lite On 40x12x48 CD Burner - Black
Philips Sesmic Edge soundcard
Antec Blue LED fans for effect!

So far, the AGOIA core 2100+ has hit 1900mhz with 146 FSB and the default 13x multiplier. And that was with little voltage increase! I'm burning in for more testing.....

Here is the case:

And the board (can't wait to set up the RAID array!)...

The Vantec 6040D with Delta fan copy (7100rpm).

Notice this baby has a nice 3 lug clip with great design "grab tab" for installation....

Radeon 9000 Pro.......

Hynix 3.6ns memory chips..... might overclock a little I hope!

 

[AMDnut]

Here is one problem that may affect some people. DIMM 1 slot and the AGP slot make the card close. A bigger / longer card may keep you from installing or removing a memory module in DIMM 1 after the video card is installed. I usually install the memory before installing the motherboard....

Here are the Antec blue LED fans running in the dark. There are 2 more in the front of the case...

Very nice AMDnut, looks nice so far. Im getting the bug again to switch from intel to amd again. but i dont know for sure. really this machine im running now just needs some minor tweaks andit would be perfect.

At this pont NEO, I would not switch from Int*l to AMD. Wait for Hammer or at least the VIA KT400A boards and official (?) support of the 200FSB speed associated with it.

Cost would not be worth it right now.... I would wait and tweak your existing...
