[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Ram is SWEET and some Board Questions

["Davis, Ryan Wiley (UMC-Student)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Okay let me tell you I just got some RAM yesterday (Micron 256MB PC133
ECC..) let me tell you its so sweet. My computer is rockin (my P450 is like
"Can't proccess anymore...*pant* and my RAM is like comeon GIVE ME
MORE...KICK ME IN THE JIMMY!!!!) so its pretty cool. But besides being proud
and spouting off I do have some things to ask you Uber geeks out there about
my new system I will be building over the summer.

Heres the setup I want:

Case:
The CoolerMaster ATC-201 Value Server Tower
http://coolermaster.com/products/atc/atc201.html

Cool Case, litterally, has 4 fans... only one thing concerns me. Noise?

MoBo
Asus A7A266 ALI DDR/SDRAM ATX
http://www.tcwo.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1052&sid=1gi2Ty0G
Q5A5CKH

Now I really like this board cause its got 200 and 266Mhz FSB, plus it
supports both DDR and SDRAM in case I want to upgrade. What do you all
think?

CPU
AMD Athalon 1.333Ghz 266Mhz FSB
Now with the board up top Im wondering about this CPU. It says the board is
rated to 1.2+Ghz Athalon CPUs but does that plus mean its cool for a
1.333Ghz?

Fan
CoolerMaster EP5 6I11-A1
http://coolermaster.com/products/cpucooler/fcpga/ep5-6i11.html

Wooo Weee. Thats some cooling power. 21.19CFM of cooling power to be
precise. Talk about over clockin that b*tch.

PowerSupply
What do you think 300w or 400w?

Hard Disks
My friends got SCSI and said they r0x0r!!1 What do you think SCSI or not
SCSI?

Vid and Sound Cards
Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet III
Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1
*With these I like all the bells and whistles and am not cheap although I
may get them OEM* Tell me what you think anyway.

BTW what does OEM *stand for* I know what it means but what do the letters
*stand* for. Just wondering. 

This is about it...oh except for a nice NIC....and maybe a firewire
hard...oh and a nice usb hub...a burner....maybe a dvd too... a flat panel
display....

Dang, maybe should have robbed that bank after all!
