I have a dream....
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 6:45 pm
No fan...any form factor....8 or more gigs of ram (so I can make a dvd in ram and burn it)
solid state drive......dvd burner
Linux...Ubuntu or Puppy linux(puppy runs in ram or on a drive)
Decent speed but I don't need to play anything more than a few flash games.
conversion or whatever can take longer, speed is not a great factor.
Hdmi on the board so I can hook it up to the big TV(I read PDF files)...or a card that I can plug in so I can run a cable to the TV, video card would be nice....no fan on the video card of course.
USB 2.0 or better, gonna get a nice flash drive to move stuff around (corsair)
video card should have enough to do all the fancy compiz 3d stuff ubuntu can do.
So what do you think?
I need a shopping list.
Ram (corsair probably)
motherboard?
CPU?
video card?
case?
power supply?
heat sink(s)
what am I after here....I know what I want it to do but what pieces do I need?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
