Rate my poker comp

[Guy Incognito]

After many frustrating sessions trying to run 4 tables + PT + GT+ on my laptop, I have decided to build a desktop, mainly for poker. I've made a list of the components, anyone want to suggest additions/deletions/modifications?

SkyHawk/Eagle Tech Silver Aluminum ATX Mini Server case, Model "MSR4611" -RETAIL

NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive, Silver, Model ND-3520A, OEM

Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model WD800JD, OEM Drive Only (Don't need a huge HD, do I?)

Mushkin Dual Pack 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200

COOLMAX 450W CX-450B, BLACK, Taurus CX Series Silent Power Supply; 1 x 120mm fan, 3 Speed Fan Control Switch ( Auto, Low, Medium).

buy a dual DVI card for when you get the money to buy 2 2001FPs

The one I listed IS dual... isn't it?

It's dual VGA. If you buy a nice LCD monitor it will look better with a DVI connection.

Looks good. Never been a huge fan of MSI mobo's, but you're probably ok. Hard drives are cheap enough that it doesn't make any sense to buy an 80GB...shop around and get a 200GB Barracuda (Seagate > WD) for a few extra bucks so you'll never have to worry about it. Recorded video for example takes up ~1GB/hour, so unless there's *no* chance you'll use this for anything but poker, a little extra hd never hurts.

If you're going to go ahead and get a SATA HD, I'd Recommend getting a 10K RPM WD Raptor (36 or 74GB).
