Final Parts Check

[Sigurd]

You can usually disable the motherboard sound from the BIOS these days.

One thing to check when doing this: verify that the IRQs aren't shared after changing your setup. I put in a sound card once, disabled the onboard sound, and ended up with the sound card sharing the networking IRQ. Vista has nothing on that!

Yes I remember this too... I think information about this can be found in the Mobo manual as well.
E.g. slot one and three share IRQ.

It has been a while since I built a machine and I guess it is about time to get a serious upgrade myself.
Husar and Bijo has introduced me to the game World in Conflict... All though I am not supposed to game I am just too tempted to let this one go. I have no hardware that will do this game justice though, but can't justify upgrading just for a game.
I haven't done a desktop since 2002. I am all laptop these days and the 2002 machine still runs ok though somewhat slow due to accumulated applications and whatnot. I just need another excuse for spending about 1500 EUR on a new machine.

WiC is a good excuse. I don't remember however that I introduced this game to you.

I ordered half the parts today, they'll be here in about 2-3 days according to the website, but I'm used to things coming in a week or two. Maybe this company will be a bit better in that respect.

Oh.. I have been reading your thread in the Arena.

I got the first shipment today, and the next one should be here in a couple of days. I'll probably have the PC built over the weekend, and have everything reinstalled and copied from my old PC by next Tuesday.
