From Jeff Hertel
I want to build a new computer based on my needs and am not very knowledgeable about what hardware I will need. I am hoping some one out there can help me. I have already selected a new case with 4 external 5.25 drive bays and 1 external 3.5 drive bay and 3 internal 3.5 bays and 7 expansion slots. It will accommodate a full sized ATX M/B. It is my intention to install 1 or 2 CD/DVD Rom R/RW, a DVD recorder, a floppy drive and a multi card reader. I am not a gamer but may want to attach a game counsel at some point. I am also considering a second monitor.
I am a professional digital photographer and work extensively with digital graphics, photo restorations and digital imaging. I have been using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator software. I also do some web design using Adobe Go-Live.
What I need is some advice on what kind of mother board, CPU, Video card, power supply, sound card, ETC. I use a 36" Gateway monitor and am looking for the best possible image resolution. I also use this monitor to watch TV, DVDs, VHS videos, etc. I also have a optical scanner that requires an SCSI connection. I have a SCSI PCI board but I don't know if it will work on an XP format. ( upgrade from 98) I would like to have a max of 4gb Ram. Speed is important but cost is a factor.
Any help and suggestions are welcome. Thank you for your time.
