hi all,

I welcome myself to NL.

Pls where can i get myself a Machine with the ff...possible

Xeon Processor , 3 GB RAM , 80 GB HDD ( SCSI or IDE) , Intel board and Realtek  Lan cards

Like how much can it cost

I don't have an answer for you since I don't live in Nigeria.  But I'm just curious as to why you need specific name brands.

Why xeon instead of amd?
Why Realtek NIC in particular?

Forget scsi or ide.  Get SATA/SATA2.

Here are specs I've purchased for servers in the past:

Motherboard: Epox.  Phew! Very good motherboard, rock solid - $105 for EP-9NPA+Ultra

NIC: Epox motherboard often comes with Gigabit ethernet card.

SATA Hard drives: Seagate or WD - $90 for 160 gb

RAM: OCZ, Kingston Technology, Corsair.  Get 4x1 gb sticks - usually $80 per gb

CPU: AMD Athlon 64.  Incredible speed! Badass processor. - $233

There are tons of brands out there, but the list above are what I've used over and over successfully.

The Ikeja computer village, of course!

the reason i need those specs is that im trying to install a software and those are the recommedations of the authors.


thanks Seun, but do you know of any company,,, i mean, ive not been to the ikeja village before, so i might not know whats obtainable., and besides the lagos life ...........

It shouldn't matter what hardware you get, as long as there are drivers available for it.

What app are you trying to install?

Why don't you make some phone calls to inquire about availability and prices? Also, any reputable computer retailer should have a website. http://www.onlinenigeria.com/business/Default22.asp?CategoryID=42

Tell me what software you want to run on it so i can recommend for ya. Do you by any chance do 3d?

Does the post by Angelo and Maxflame belong on this thread, or is it just a plug for Thunder i7522R (S5362-1U)?

Admin, what's with the spam?

Argh, I'd never fit a server with a realtek card :\

WTF Spam? We don't sell em i'm just showing you the little monster i found searching www.cgsociety.org which is used for VFX. I simply asked for what software he wants to use the PC for so i can reccomemd if he can see it in Comp Village. If thats how you see posts like mine fine. Go get yourself a server. Infact go get one of those renderblades dell has.

If Thunder i7522R motherboards are the best in the market then whats wrong with a good advice to get one? Do i look like i sell comp parts? do you even think you can find that in Nigeria? <i'm really restraining myself bud!>

That is why Nigeria is the way it is; What you should be asking is how do we get it into Nigerian markets?
Specilist builds and software are an elite market,but since you chaps rather deal within comp village then go ahead, but it beggers belief that your ignorance is such that you do not even know that a Nigerian is closely linked to the Tiger board creation
