Micro Ide
What Linux-friendly components should I use to build a new computer?
I want to build a new desktop computer on which I plan to install Linux. I'm thinking somewhere around $750 would be ideal, but can be somewhat flexible. Priorities are:
- strong linux compatibility, including ability to do TV out
- quiet...would possibly consider a micro form factor but not necessary
What would you recommend? AMD vs Intel? nVidia vs ATI video card? Asus motherboard? What chipset? I was considering the new AMD AM2-based motherboards but am a bit disappointed that it only has 1 parallel IDE channel, since I have 2 old hard drives and 2 old optical drives that I wouldn't mind re-using (though this is also not a necessity).
none building a comp only causes stress, bad 4 health
