I am bad of the head

I forgot to ask if it´s a good configuration.
Maybe Ansari, Ray or other expert could to reply if it´s a good configuration?
It´s because I have money, because I made several structural projects
in the last two months.

Thanks,

Ray is overseas until the weekend with no internet access, but I'm sure somebody else should be able to help you.

I've found an internet cafe

That configuration looks OK to me, except:
- I wouldn't RAID the disks, better in my view to just have 2 separate
- make sure 2GB RAM is enough for you. Depends on how you'll use it (engine vs engine matches with huge hash, or just analyses with one engine?)

Of course it will include the standard Intel CPU cooler which will do the job but I'm told they are a little noisy if the CPU is under full load for long periods. Could be worth investigating if something like the Tuniq Tower 120 or Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme would fit both the motherboard and case. It would also make overcloking easier if that is what you wanted to do. I run an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro on mine but it's not in the same class as the two I've mentioned above.

Hope that helps

Ray, an internet cafe? Without internet it´s dificult for me, I stay crazy.
Thanks by your analyse. I need realy 4 Gb, because today, in my dual,

Graham thanks by your reply too.
