    Recently enough I bought this server for cheap enough at 200 euro, I am looking to make it into a computer I can game with. Right now its fairly basic, AMD Quad core, 512 DDR2 Pc2 6400 ram clocked at 800 mhz, 300 gigs HD. no onboard sound, onboard graphics..limited.

    Detailed specs.

    Ram I will probably be getting is 4GB PATRIOT 2x2 GB DDR2 240Pin PC2 6400 800MHZ. Which Im picking up for around 35 euro.

    This is the graphics card which I was thinking about, its a 9800 Gt comes recommended for gaming and video playback. Know any better cards for around the same price?

    Where I really need help is a sound card, I can only find ripoff 60 euro cards that are compatible with the
    • Expansion Slots:
      • Slot 1: PCI 32-bit/33MHz PCI at 3.3V
      • Slot 2: PCI-Express x1 connector with x1 link
      • Slot 3: PCI-Express x8 connector with x8 link
      • Slot 4: PCI-Express x16 connector with x16 link(Graphics card)
    And I would rather not go for usb if It could be avoided, I know I can pick up decent usb speakers for around a tenner.


    Well thanks for taking the time in reading this, I will appreciate any comments or help, 20 to five now so im off to bed =)
