This is what I've got picked out right now.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/RXQD3F (or see below)
CPU Intel Core i5-6400 2.7GHz Quad-Core Processor $179.99
I'll need to get a SATA cable I assume. Any other cables, etc. I need to buy?
Every retail boxed motherboard I've bought since SATA was born shipped with at least two SATA cables.
Great. I've haven't done a build myself in a long time. The last couple I paid $100 to have someone else put it together. This one looks like it should be quick to assemble, so I'll do it myself.
Motherboard ASRock H110M-DGS Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $49.99
I bought an Asrock once. It won't happen again. It lasted about two weeks past its warranty expiration. AFAICT, Asrock is a lower tier brand, like eCS, and a bunch of brands that no longer exist.
I have a X99 ASUS and a X99 AsRock. The AsRock is superior. I'll try it again. At worst, I'm only wasting $50.
My last mobo purchase, 9 months ago, is what I'm typing from: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130699
with this CPU from eBay for $46: http://ark.intel.com/products/77773/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3220-3M-Cache-3...
Are you sure you're up for a piece of the Skylake on Linux grief some of us have been reading about?
I'll go with Tumbleweed most likely. And I won't doing any graphics locally, so I'll give it a shot. (Occasional downtime is not an issue. Only 2 users, but I don't want to have to have uptime issues too often. And no more than a couple reboots a week.)
Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $112.99
and 16G DDR3 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226404
The MB only has 2 RAM slots (I think).
Case Thermaltake Core V51 ATX Mid Tower Case $97.61
Lotsa case for a micro ATX mobo. :-p
I have 2 of those now. I want to have 4 matching machines at some point so my lab looks like it was designed to be cohesive.
Last time I bought a new case I can't remember. It was probably at least 12 years ago. My ancient Antec cases have hard to strip steel screw threads, unlike all the aluminum cases I've encountered since.
Power Supply CoolMax 300W Micro ATX Power Supply $21.88
Doesn't look like it's an 80Plus.
I set a price floor of about $30-35 on power supplies I buy. Even with the CoolMax name I'm skeptical of a price that low for 300W.
Got it, and noise matters. Off to Mikhail's email. Greg
