errr.. was their any lightning recently that might have fried your computer? If all these devices 'died' at the same time then you would have known about it. It sounds like your repair man is pulling a fast one - do you know this person long? Having said that good stuff as a basis of your computer: ASUS P4T-E motherboard at least 256MB RDRAM P4 (Northwood) - fastest you can afford Matrox G 450 or 550 or ATI Radeon for video RME Hammerfall DSP plus Multiface for audio and whatever you are having yourself for DVD, CD-R/ROM/RW etc... and of course one of those nice black aluminium cases.. :) -- Mark Lennox Technical Consultant ENDUSER Suite 40 Guinness Enterprise Centre Taylors Lane Dublin 8 Ireland Tel: +353 1 4100 665 Fax: +353 1 4100 985 web: http://www.enduser.com -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "mikaeladle" <mikaeladle@...> To: <logic-ot@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 4:28 PM Subject: [L-OT] help putting a new pc toghether. > Hi! > My PC died last weekend, now repairman called me and said that the > motherboard, processor, harddrive and both my cd drives are dead. > So now I´m about to buy a new pc and wonder if you guys have any > recommendations? > First of all I need a new motherboard, processor, memory and > harddrive. > > Thanks for any advice. > > Best, > Mikael Adle > > > > > > > Your use of Yahoo!
