The Transplant

I have gone ahead with my computer transplant since my main PC is acting up. and it was making some really weird noises.

I have used some of my old components to build the revamped PC, and I’m using all the parts thats left to build a media pc since all I need for it is to have a good graphics card to output to the screen.

Current HW:

  • Pentium 4 3.6 Ghz
  • Old Alienware Case
  • 2 GB Kingston Ram
  • Motherboard: MSI P4N SLI
  • Graphics Card: MSI Nvidia 7800 GTX
  • OCZ 600W
  • Creative Audigy Live
  • Sony DVD-/+RW 16x
  • Plextor CD-/+RW 48X
  • 1 x 74 GB WD Raptor 15′000 rpm
  • 2 x 250 GB Maxtor 7′200 rpm (Raid 0)

New Components:

  • Thermaltake Armor Jr.
  • Mother Board: DFI NF680I LT SLI
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz
  • 750 GB 7’200 RPM
  • LG DVD-/+RW x20
  • 2 GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz Dual Channel

Final Result:

  • Thermaltake Armor Jr.
  • Mother Board: DFI NF680I LT SLI
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz
  • Graphics Card: MSI Nvidia 7800 GTX
  • 750 GB 7’200 RPM
  • 74 GB WD Raptor 15′000 rpm
  • 2 x 250 GB Maxtor 7′200 rpm (Raid 0)
  • LG DVD-/+RW x20
  • Sony DVD-/+RW 16x
  • 2 GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz Dual Channel
  • OCZ 600W
  • XP Pro

The only thing about this case is that it is a bit tight, for the full PC I would go for the full tower Thermaltake Armor, the junior is a bit cramped on the inside even though it has a lot of slots. Professional Computers are putting it together and doing the full install, they are really good with their service.
