Need for speed and a super buy

LAN party people beware! Over the weekend a new PC was built from scratch by a local techtype and myself. The new build utilized an Abit motherboard that has the Nvidia chipset, the NF7-S. PC Clinics has a great review. Abit has a sterling reputation and was a favorite of all the uber techs at the old San Francisco based The Screensavers show, which is now gone forever due to the monkeys at Comcast management. The drive was set up SATA with a really kewl interface, and everything posted when the candle was lit.

After some tweaking everything responded smoothly and the speed was that of light! The AMD Barton CPU, Western Digital 7200rpm - 8megs o' buffer hard drive, with this mobo makes a great combination. The software for the onboard devices (impressive 5.1 Dolby sound, NIC, etc) installed without a glitch. You put all this in an Antec server tower with a clear side panel and it makes for an awesome looking machine. Hats off to all these manufacturers. Glad to see Western Digital making a quality product again and overcoming a period of poor quality control.

Speaking of Western Digital, how about the best buy ever on a hard drive? It's at Circuit City. This is a 250gig IDE, SATA, 7200rpm, 8meg data buffer Western Digital drive for $79.99 after a $100.00 mail in rebate!!! The reviews have people raving about the speed. This has to be the most capacity for the least money ever offered. You better get them quick. Thanks Red Dragon for the most excellent heads up and enjoy the new uber gaming machine.
