Help: First Build - Case Recommendations Needed
I’m building my first computer and im looking for some suggestions. I need some ideas for a good case for under $100. Something with filters or screens would be nice because my room is dusty.
I am using a Biostar TForce6100-939 NVIDIA Socket 939 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+. With that processer should I buy the regular windows pro SP2 or should I get Windows pro x64 or something else all together? Any other suggestions at all please feel free.
Unless you have the board and cpu already, first you should at least consider going with AM2 models of the motherboard/cpu. Since they are roughly the same price and more future ready with DDR2 ram.
As for the case, go with the CoolerMaster Centurion 5 it has ample cooling and all the drive bezels are a nice mesh where you could even throw another fan if you want.
As far as the operating system it ultimately depends on what you are planning on doing. Unless you have an absolute need for a 64bit OS, don’t bother.
