No1 son has decided to buid his own "trouble"...... He's been out and picked up the box - a "Cobra" thang ATX with 10 drive bays and 420watt PSU, so that'll be the starting point if you don't mind. What he's lacking is a workable plan for selecting components to squeeze in there (my suggestion of a couple of brooding chickens didn't seem to appeal...)
Could any of you kind folks give us some suggestions as to what to go for and where to get it?
Spec wise he's completely open and his desires stretch to something capable of "doing" it with Games like the sims and various flight sims. He's already going for a 160 gig hard drive (should he go for RAID???) and after that it's a wild shot in the dark.
Could we have suggestions for starting points absolute budget £500 ish.
Oh I forgot to mention the box has got two variable speed cooling fans in it and flashing lights on the front and two front mounted USB2 ports hehe..... (Guess this is relevant in the selection of the mummyboard?)
