    If you can get all the stuff listed, Itll be perfect
  • BODBOD
    isn't that slightly overkill?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Yes, but you can never go too high when building a new PC, its all about get what you can afford and get lots of it
  • QQ
    The parts will get recycled into other systems overtime. I admit that it's alot but it's also gonna be going alost of photoediting and suchlike too.

    Is this for you or someone else? What proc do you want in it?

    Sorry, but "cyberguys.com" scared me at first.
  • QQ
    I'll me Administing it, but someone else is gonna be using it. As long as it's a decent proc I'm fine with it.

    Ok, I didn't think you'd buy a PC just for scanners when you don't print much. I'll be PM/IMing you sometime for details about this. :)

    Thgats all the ones I know... But we all use ethernet, USB modems piss me off.
  • BODBOD
    the power consumption is annying too and the fact that my laptop only has 1 usb port
  • Ka0sKa0s
    So use ethernet.
  • BODBOD

    One scanner?

    So this is just for scanning, not email/office productivity/etc?
  • QQ
    2 scanners, and scanning/maybe Email/Inet/photoediting will be about the most it'll do.

  • DevilsJim89DevilsJim89

    I did, I was just commenting that it was a good place and asking if you first heard of him from me or if it was Warp.

    How old is the Toshiba?

    Have you decided on a proc?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Uhh....

    Maby if you read his first post, the Procrssoe is listen :-P
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    Uh, no. If you clicked the link, then you'd realize that the proc's on that page range from a K7 1.33GHz to an Ath XP 3000+. The 2700+ is out of stock, and you see the list of others before it.

    If you read my posts, you'd know I asked about the proc in previous posts. :P
