After I had put together the build with parts I still had around, I realized that the system was far too noisy and had some room for improvement performance-wise.
So added a faster CPU<\/a> and improved cooling solutions for CPU<\/a> and GPU<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the specs of the build as it stands today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Case:<\/strong> Chenbro SR20969<\/li>
- Mainboard:<\/strong> Biostar P4TGE, Socket 478, i845GE chipset<\/li>
- CPU:<\/strong> Pentium 4 Northwood 3.06 GHz \/ 533 MHz (first CPU to support HyperThreading)<\/li>
- RAM:<\/strong> 1 GB of Kingston HyperX<\/li>
- Graphics Card:<\/strong> ASUS V9950 – GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, 256 MB<\/li>
- Sound Card: <\/strong>Creative SB Audigy<\/li>
- Hard Disk:<\/strong> Western Digital 200GB WD2000JB-00GVA0<\/li>
- DVD Writer:<\/strong> Samsung SH-S222L<\/li>
- Power Supply:<\/strong> Seasonic SS-350ET-F3<\/li>
- CPU Cooling:<\/strong> Thermalright XP-90 with a 92mm Papst 3412 N\/2GLE fan<\/li>

With this configuration, I reached 13808 3D marks in 3DMark2001 SE. It’s a good-looking, stable, quiet and fast build and I am quite pleased with how everything turned out. Despite the fact that I still don’t have any real use for it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
