I need a cheap/free mATX power supply, anyone got one?[views:1624][posts:6]_______________________________________ [Apr 15,2009 10:26am - the_reverend ""] 300w would be fine. I'll just be running 2-3 hard drives and a c2d off it. I also could use 1GB 400mhz or 533mhz ram. |

I'm going to use the mother board and case that I already have. then trade my c2d e6400 for this: Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz Quad Core Processor $232 Dell has Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz Quad Core Processor $310 - $77.50 (with code 5NSKFK1HL?CRDN) = $232.49 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php...=Intel+Core2+Quad+Q9550+%40+2.83GHz and I also need to either get or return some 533mhz or 400mhz RAM. I'm going to build a machine that will mirror 2x1TB and then update an offline 1TB once a month. and then 3x500GB in a similar manner. most of the drives are externals. And the mirroring will be done through software. I'm going to make the machine run a cron of rsync every night that will ADD. Then run a rsync to look for updates/deletions, but make it just report and not actually do the update. That way you get a report of files that viruses might have affected and it will make a webpage of it. |
