Advice needed on building first system from scratch...

Ok, here goes, I am so excited, like a kid on Xmas...My goodies from Newegg will be here later today or tomorrow....I recently purchased: A new tower, Antec PSU, 2x512 Corsair pc3200, MSI K7N2 Delta - ILSR and some other assorted crap....
Anyway, I have never built a system from the ground up before...I am looking forward to the challenge....But before I begin I was wondering if I could get some tips?
I already backed up all the files(photos, demos, benchmarks etc...)that I'll be saving...I also made copies of all the drivers I need to set it up when it's done(Nvidia graphics drivers, DX9.0b), I assume the mobo drivers will come with the mobo....I also want to do a fresh install of Windows as well.....Now my main concern is in regards to the order in which everything is done....I have replaced a motherboard before so I have a little knowledge of the inner workings....But never having built one from scratch, I'm a little leary as to the order and how everything should be installed....
I will also be adding my current Vid. card,  sound card?(I'm pretty sure the onboard is better?) and HDD.....Windows came installed on my machine when I purchased it so I don't have the Windows CD, but I have made the set of recovery discs that is needed to set it back to factory specs and settings...Have I forgotten anything?...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

Axel, thanks for the link...It was an informative read..
Glenn, I don't have an XP CD...The OS came installed on the computer when I purchased it.....I only have the 6 recovery CD's that I made under "PC RECOVERY TOOLS"...It's an older Compaq...Oh, and it's an AMD xp2400(can be unlocked using the Speed-Strip, currently it's locked because my mobo doesn't support the OC features I so desperately want to play with..Muhahaha ).....Also, I am currently downloading the Nvidia "Unified" driver and SP1....All of a sudden, something I was looking forward to seems like the scariest thing in the world....Will this thing even boot when I get it plugged in? How am I going to install all this crap? Geez, I'm worried now...
Bogs, I will try both on-board and SB Live 5.1....I play a lot of BFV and 1942, I'll see if I can tell if there is a performance and/or increase in sound quality....What tag do you play under? See you on the battlefield!!!
Thanks again for all the replies, Silly
Well first things first, follow my suggestions on the FSB settings until you are sure it's stable and the OS has been loaded and is stable as well before you introduce overclocking to the mix...
I am a bit concerned about your Recovery CD, Most likely it'll puke on you since the motherboard and EVERYTHING except the CPU has changed?  Most likely it will halt and tell you it's not a (enter name) PC and cannot continue. Try it and see.
Maybe someone has a way around it and you can discuss that in either Private Messaging or via E-mail. Please keep that little tidbit out of the forums.
bogs dollocks,
Ahhh... think you're right there, however it could have been something completely different...but that's another topic entirely...
It will cause moe headaches than it's worth. Get an OEM copy of Windows. Better yet, borrow someone else's and use your key.

  • Build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements?

    Is there a way to build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements, i.e. not use the templates?  I want a very simple menu on ONE screen, no sub-menus, etc., and all the templates I try end up creating multiple pages of menus just for the FOUR menu markers in my timeline! 
    Alternatively, how do I delete multiple pages of a menu, when I have only FOUR menu items and want them all on ONE menu page?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    robertme
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    You cannot create your own movie menu from scratch using Premiere Elements. The movie menu theme traces back to a main menu psd file and a scene menu psd file and assets. It is the .psd files that need to be created in Photoshop CS or higher because of the essential Layer Sets within the Layers Palette of the .psd file. (There may be other .psd editors that can do this if the can handle Layer Sets and SubLayer Sets, but Photoshop CS or higher will do the job.)
    It is often easier to customize the Adobe existing themes at the .psd level than to create them from scratch. Success in this task depends of strict adherence to naming and structural details for creating these menus.
    I have done and written a lot about this topic. If interested, please see

    hi experts
    why do v need 2 generate new smartform from scratch when v have so many standard smartforms can any one explain in detail the scenario where v have 2 do that
    thanks
    bhanu

    Hello Bhanu,
    Standard smartforms are for standard SAP applications.
    Every client will customise standard SAP to suit their own requirements. So if there is a requirement specific to the cleint, they can ask us to develop a custom Smartform.

  • Developing a web system from scratch - What to use?

    Hi
    I am considering developing a web system in Java from scratch. I am a very experienced PHP programmer and have been a part of a development team that has a lot of systems such as CRM, CMS and so forth. Right now we need to develop a central management console in another, more powerful language. Java is the preferred choice but i would like to know what the best way to go about it is?
    In PHP for example, we used Creole for the database abstraction, Smarty for the template engine and Apache for the web server. In Java i am looking for a solution that:
    1 - Is database independent, or at least supports the main databases without needing to change any code
    2 - Is relatively quick to develop in/learn
    3 - If a framework, then maybe has a MVC paradigm
    4 - Preferably uses XSLT for the display, but does not have to
    5 - Is among the top 2 or 3 ways that people would normally do this
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you for your replies. The article link was really informative. I have narrowed it down to Flex or Spring and will play around with them to see the best one.

  • Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.

    I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it.  I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software.  It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog.  How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder.  Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product.  Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog.  Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Regards,
    WesternGuy

    When I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>.  If I click on <Finish>,  It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog".  The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog."  It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit".  If  I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
    Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

    WesternGuy

  • Need to build a system asap..Please advise:-)

    I presently have a 3 year old:
    * Win 7pro 64 bit 3.0 Intel core 2 quad Q9650, 64 kb primary cache, NOT hyperthreaded ((DO I NEED HYPERTHREADING?))
    * Asus P5K3 Delux, 333 megahertz
    * 8 gigs ram

    * Video/audio/project/rendered files drive: 2, 1tb 7200 rpm drives raid 0
    * GTS 450 videocard (cuda enabled)
    The system handles 1 layer mp4 & avchd OK. Could be better. I use mainly CS5 Premeire & Encore. Very little photoshop & AE. I edit weddings mainly & are constantly getting different formats & resolutions thrown at me. I need to be able to handle most formats with ease. Lots of Bluray Outputs as well.
    **I need to be able to monitor video on a seperate monitor via component and hdmi. Will I need an additional card to do this? What is an inexpensive one?
    **MB: I would like 2 FW ports, 6 or more SATA ports, 12 or 24 gigs ram..CAN PREMEIRE UTILIZE 24 GIGS?
    ** Can I put all video/project/render files on a 2 drive 7200 rpm Raid 0 ? Or do I need another drive.
    **How much faster will the new system be compared to the one above.
    I am looking to build an NLE for $2000 not including monitors or software.

  • Advice needed on fast streaming/access from external HD (Video/Music apps)

    Hello,
    I'm a computer musician and have reached the max on my internal SATA drive, and thus I'm looking for an effective, extra-fast external HD capable of intense sample streaming (i.e. quickly accessing many small files from different parts of the drive at once). I'm not looking for write speed, as that does not concern me. The main concern is "read speed."
    In my search I came across this eSATA drive from segate which seems to have been designed with my needs in mind: http://www.creativemac.com/articles/...e.jsp?id=53423
    However, it takes PCI 2.2, while us dual G5 users only have PCI-X, correct? Does this mean this particular eSATA drive will not work in my system? Are there any eSATA drives/enclosures that were designed specifically for PCI-X? Is eSATA worth it when compared with FW800 in my line of work? (I already own a Lacie FW88 drive as a backup drive, but can switch its application if needed). What is the best technology for fast streaming/access from an external HD?
    I'm sorry if this topic has already been covered, but in my search I was unable to find any topics specifically regarding this type of use of an external HD.
    I thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

  • Need to restore full system from wireless TM backup...

    Yesterday, my hard drive crashed on my MacBook, took it in, and the helpful folks t the Apple Store quickly replaced it. Now I've been doing regular backups using Time Machine and a USB connected hard drive for several months now. I've restored individual files several times, but this is tyhe first time I need to do a full system restoration.
    The problem lies in that the version of Leopard I have a disk for is 10.5... That does not recognize wireless hard drives. The fresh hard disk put in my computer yesterday had 10.5.1, which still does not recognize hard drives. So I had to set up my mac and then try to use Migration Assistant.
    Well, Migration Assistant sees my hard drive, but then goes on to tell me "0 Time Machine backups found." I'm getting that sick feeling that I've just lost the better part of a year's worth of data. I know the data on the backup is good (as have as recently as last Saturday used it in Time Machine), but if it cannot be accessed, then it is clearly of no use.
    Hooking the disk up USB directly to the computer does not work either...
    Can anyone be of assistance?

    I would try updating the Macbook to 10.5.3, and install any Time Machine and Airport updates (don't worry about iLife, etc.). Hopefully, your Mac will find the Time Machine drive after updating and you can restore. A note about system restores and Time Machine: after reverting to a previous backup, Time Machine needs to create a whole new backup set, so it will delete a LOT of old backups to make room for a full backup (at least that's what it did on my iMac).

  • [Solved] Installting A Pure systemd System From Scratch

    Hello all,
    A few months back I gave Arch a spin and it was great, but decided to wait for Windows 8 RTM to come out to check it out as well.
    Windows 8 being the horrible thing it is, Arch is the way to go, and I would like to do a test installation alongside Windows 7, in order to make sure I can make the switch permanently.
    Having followed the forums pretty consistently, it seems that systemd is the future.
    Instead of waiting for it to be integrated (which is supposed to happen at some point), I was wondering if I can somehow install a pure systemd system as part of the basic installation and not installing initscripts at all.
    Thanks, Adam.

    Just makes for a cleaner install all around.
    I'm certainly not going to leave this install on with 4 installed desktop environments.[...]
    I myself was also reinstalling alot and imaging and whatnot when I first began with linux(arch), but after some time I realised that it was pointless and linux dosen't need those reinstalls for optimization like windows did, and pacman has nifty switches to get you sorted on what you've explicitly installed and hence, can go delete the cruft not used anymore, or to list files not owned by any installed packages, to clean up in etc...
    Nowadays, I newer reinstall unless something would go _really_ wrong, and only backup config-files and home-files, and keep a livecd around for rescue-operations, and an automated personal install script for if I ever do need to reinstall...
    Anyway, of course it's your own choise
    I understand and the arch way is awesome.
    but it is still on the new side to me.
    I've bloated this install with 4 desktop environments so a reinstall is inevitable. lol
    once I settle on which one to keep I'll do just that.
    it will be some time though I'm sure.
    I'm just keeping my eye out for an iso without the old initscripts pacstapped to begin with.
    it just HAS to be a cleaner install.
    Thanks for your input though.
    CHEERS.
    Oh yeah and by the way I've used nothing but linux for over 10 years now.
    No windoze here.

  • Scrubbing Reloading the System from Scratch

    Hello,  I am dealing with an HP laptop, model # dm4-3055dx, running Windows 7.  The system recently contracted a virus or some sort of very annoying malware referred to as Qone8.  I have tried numerous suggested solutions and several antivirus programs but I have not been able to get rid of it.  I am now at the point of having no other choice but to scrub the system (reformat the hard drive) and reloading every thing from source disks.  What I would like to know is will the recovery disks that I can get from HP (I unfortunately did not make these recovery disks myself when the system was new) be all that I need to accomplish this task?  Do the disks contain the original OS software and all the drivers, etc. that will get my system back to it's out of the box operationg condition?  If this is so, I assume that I will then have to download system updates from Microsoft and/or HP to get up to date.  I  plan on ordering the recovery disks for my system I just want to make sure there is nothing else I will need.  Also, I would appreciate a reference to the written procedure for carrying out the scrub and reload process if anyone knows.  Thanks much,  Al

    Thanks much for your response Mista B.  Actually I was unaware that there was a built-in recovery process available.  I may try that.  When I read the referenced procedure it said that if this procedure didn't work for some reason that I would have to use the recovery disks so I should probably have these on hand just in case.  The thing that I am afraid of is that if I don't do a complete erasure of the hard drive that the virus might not be eradicated completely and it will show up again on my bootup re-loaded system.  Do you think that the internal recovery procedure will successfully wipe out the infection?  Not to belabor the issue but you did not actually answer my question directly.  What I wanted to know is if the HP recovery disks will be all that I need to reload a completely wiped computer system.  Pehaps you implied that by suggesting the recovery from boot up but that is still not completely clear to me.  I do appreciate you help.  Thanks again, Al

  • Putting together a system from scratch

    Hello, I am trying to put something together for our school of about 200 students. We are currently using household APs in our school building which are not working well at all. I've looked around a bit and so far I thinking about the 1142 APs and a 2504 controller. I'm not too familiar with Cisco and I wondering what other people have done or would recommend. I'm not sure how the controller works and how it needs to be connected. Any other suggestions for someone who is not familiar with controller based wireless would be appreciated.
    Thanks for your time

    For schools, many of what I have deployed were 5508's. This was because of access point count. The 2504 supports up to 75, so if you will have more than 76, then you need a 5508. The 5508 can support up to 500. The 1142 are end if sale and I would suggest the 2602's. I have schools the have the 1142's but are replacing them with either the 2602's, 3602's or the new 3702's. It depends on your budget. You can still probably purchase refurb 1142's from refurb store, there are many out there.
    You should really speak with your local Cisco SE and or a Cisco Var when it comes to how you should design it. There are so many things that can change a design, especially if you require Apple TV's, guest access, just to name a few.

  • How do I build a Scroller from scratch in Actionscript?

    I have a hierarchy of objects in my Actionscript.  I use Actionscript because all objects are dynamic, built at run-time on the basis of data from the server.
         Scroller
              Group
                   SxText (my class) is a subclass of RichEditableText which implements IViewPort
    Typical code is:
    public class SxText extends RichEditableText
                sxText = new sxText(....);
                scroller = new Scroller();
                scroller.setStyle("horizontalScrollPolicy","off");
                scroller.setStyle("verticalScrollPolicy","on");  
                group = new Group();
                group.addElement(sxText);
                scroller.viewport = group;
    It looks great and I can control location and size, as well as detect the events that I'm interested in.
    But, the scroll bar thumb fills the vertical space of the bar.
    I've tried many methods to enable or to set viewport content size, but the following code has no effect.
                scrollerSkin = ScrollerSkin(scroller.skin);
                scrollBar = scrollerSkin.verticalScrollBar;
                vbarSkin = VScrollBarSkin(scrollBar.skin);
                thumb = vbarSkin.thumb;
                vbarSkin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,scrollBarEvent);
                vbarSkin.setContentSize(sxText.width,sxText.height);
    I'm guessing that I'm missing the one method that will do it.  Thanks.

    After posting, I kept trying.  This works, making the thumb usable.
    This code is called in an event handler of the scroller for UPDATE_COMPLETE
                group.setContentSize( good values for dx and dy );
    Thanks for listening.
