Do the hardware dance!

Yup, picked up the vid card.

Didn't go for the 9800SE - after talking it over with a mate at work who knows more about vid cards than I did, I went for the 9600XT Sapphire VIVO with 256mb DDR onboard.

So far, it hooks up to my TV. Haven't thrashed it out yet, but as long as I can play Emperor and DK, meesa happy :) New hardware for me, and new hardware for torasin! (I'm not plonking my old one in Meshuggah because a RadeonVE 7000 with TV-out would be fucking wasted in a Command Line-only webserver box.)

So, final components to get...the Mobo, and the Processor. And the HDDs for Meshuggah. *wriggles happily*

A slight disappointment though - PAnda don't have any Gigabyte GA7N400-PRO2 motherboards. Apparently they're phased out. Which is a cunt, because I wanted that one. Onboard IDE RAID and SATA, Firewire, gigabit LAN, 5.1 Surround Sound, all the trimmings.

*pouts*

Any recommend me a good one? Must be AMD XP series compliant (Not 64bit, I'm going for a 3000+ or a 3200+), with 4 IDE controllers, and SATA. I have...special needs :P

And the next Doctor Who Video came! *SQUEEE!* THANK YOU madscot!! :) Dalek on the massive flat screen in the loungeroom. I may just shit my pants :P I'll get cracking on the next set of DVDs for you...I might send them in two lots, I'm a little leery - we are, after all, committing an international crime here :P

OK, getting that netgear modem just jumped WAAAAY up on my must do list.

'cos this fucking Dlink came within an inch of flying straight out through the goddamn window.

*glares balefully at it*

Don't think I won't fucking do it, bitch. I've done it with hardware that's pissed me off royally before!
