Thread: My antec 900 rig :D

I like that case looks really nice but one thing i would like to mention is what CPU do you have?

- Also i don't like the white DVD drive at the front, should be black but that's just me being silly.

- If i was you i would upgrade the PSU defo and also the GPU that's way too old what can you play on it? i guess css but not any new games that are out. That's if your willing on spending some money

- Your cable management is better then mine so don't worry about that it looks fine to me.

-Asrock is a really good mobo very cheap and reliable but not very gd at OC. Mind you Asrock is owned by Asus so off course they are good mobos.

- Just one other thing, you really don't need an Antec 900 to cool your rig tbh its not that powerful any cheap case would have done the job but i guess it adds style.

Not sure about the new PSU never heard of the company but 550watts is good just wondering if the psu is reliable and solid output.

Also if your a bit tight on the budget why bother buying and Antec 900 those are like £70 or to put it in your currency its like AU $160. You could have put that money to more use on the rig. Sorry if it sounds like I'm having a go at you lol but i ain't just wondering. o well go for the psu but i suggest you find some info about it.

I also decided to spend that much now, and it would last for years and I wouldn't have to spend more later on

Please read the ebay link, that shows the psu specs

the specs seem fine to me but like i said i don't know about the company have you used them before?

I'm gona spend my money on this
2GB 800 Corsair Dual Channel 2*1 GB DDR PC 6400 CL4 RAM - eBay DDR2, Memory, RAM, Components, Upgrades, Computers. (end time 16-Mar-08 18:09:32 AEDST)

Using that and my good cooling, I'm aiming to OC to 2.7Ghz

Good idea i think you should go for it nice bit of memory and plus i like the latency

well, a new beefy PSU would provide upgradabilty for the future, personally, i have an Antec True Power Trio 550W & i would highly recommend them / it

that doesn't mean anything to me, the fact remains, does the system work ?

yes RAM is important, but, if you don't have a decent enough PSU it won't power all the stuff you have / try to connect to your system, but, it's your money, all i can do is make recommendations

Edit: BTW: & yes your right, there is always ebay, but, personally i would be suspicious of that PSU because it doesn't say anything about how much power it can supply on each rail, as cheaper PSUs often / always "claim" to be able to output more wattage than they actually can, i've heard of a decent 300W PSU that could power more stuff than a "generic" (PSU included with a case) or crappy PSU

oh sorry! I thought the railings were on that page
Here's a photo of the psu


All i need is less than 220W, don't really give a about railings, just don't want my parts to be destroyed

Not that good, but I don't need a high-end psu. As long as it works, I'd rather spend money on something that improves performance ect. It's just a choice between the 4 1/2 yr old 250W psu that would have lost heaps of wattage or the cheap new "550W" one.

It meets my needs. I just want to know if it's in danger of surging, I wouldn't care that much about my $80 motherboard, I don't want all my other parts destoryed..

Recommended PSU Wattage: *
