Well success!
I got the M6 to work for me, and I have gotten permission to use some models to compile another TOS ship set. I will work on the new ship set this weekend, after I get my GD new PC to f-ing work.
I just purchased all the parts and built it Last night, and can not get the damned thing to partition the fricking HD. (Win 2k)
This is what I will have when I am done:
AMD Athalon 1.4 ghz CPU
IWill KA266 DDR Mother Board
512 megs DDR SDRAM (Got two 256 meg dimms for $60.00 bucks appeace)
Wester Digital 60 meg 7200 RPM Hard Drive (If I can ever get it to format)
Creative BLaster Live (With remote and control panel & DLBY digital)
Hercules GF3 64 Megs DDR Ram Video Card
Teac 3.5 floppy
Reused -
memorex CDRW
Creative DVD Rom
Inteli Mouse
MS Internet Ready Ergo KB
MS Digital Sound System (Speakers and Subwoffer)
Sylvania 17" Monitor
D-Link Network Card
I also bought a 300 watt case that has blue pLastic around it. Sweet looking. In all, without the Video Card, the set up cost me a little more than $500 bucks after all the rebates and stuff. + $429 for the video card.
No rebate on it. (Been saving for a very long time.)
I assembled it Last night, and booted it. I set up the BIOS, and started installing Win 2k. I get to the format drive part, and for some GD reason, it will start the formatt, but never finishes is saying that it can not. I wonder if I need to partition is into smaller chuncks as 60 gig is an awful lot of drive space. (If I add a second 40 gig slave, I will have a Terabite
)I got the 60 gig WD HDrive because it had a $75.00 rebate, and only cost me a little more than a big bill to get it. Perhaps I should return it as defective??? Or it could be the fricking MB, and that would
really bite...
Any whoo, I play a lot of 3d games, and just aquired 3d stuido max, and wanted to have a system, that would run all the application I want, plus would not need to be up graded for two to three years as money does not grow on trees, and credit cards belong to satan. (If you believe in that sorta thing)
