Xentera GT4 250gig SATA Seagate Quad monitor stand 1 gig of crucial Intel 530j Prescott Abit IS7-V2 Antec SLK3800B with 400 watt psu Total is about 3600. How is it? Any glaring incompatibilities? |

Nice. Also, those are great cases, imo. Amazing how inexpensive computers are getting, though the video card is pricey, eh? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Yes there a probleme, The motherboard you selected runs older P4 chips(Socket 448) and your processor is a newer P4 "prescott" LGA 775, so it won't fit, also if youre gonna spend 3600$+ on a system get a PCI express motherboard not an AGP(for the future upgrades since AGP is being phased out for PCI-X).

Buy an intel mobo instead. Abit are among the worst. Also like someone else mentioned make sure everything fits. I would also rather buy two peices of ram to dual chanel them, get one of those kits.

If said it before, but go with the Western Digital Raptor. If you need more storage, add anotehr hard drive. But the raptor blows away my 200gb 7200RMP SATA drive.

Abit mobos are fine. They are geared toward overclockers and performance nuts. That said, I prefer Asus motherboards. Intel motherboards are also good but they tend to be more expensive than the taiwanese boards per feature set.
Dual channel is goot. PCI-X is goot. Serial-ATA is goot. |

New intel mobo
New WD raptor New ram Someone mentioned to me that I should get a good main video card and a 2nd pci one since it would cost the same as the Xentera but would let me game on it. Does the Xentera give me any software I need for 4 monitors that I wouldn't get with a different card? |

And why on earth would you ever want PCI-X in a computer made for playing poker? |

4 monitors and 4 DVI port card...wow. I am envious. Looks like I'll have to go 6 monitors. So that way mine will be bigger than yours.
