I finally have my new studio workstation completed and running…took most of the summer (and fall) obtaining the components:
- Antec P183 Black enclosure (Quiet performance)
- Nexus 430W compact P/S
- Intel i5 2400 CPU, 3.10 ghz Quad core , 6 MB cache LGA1155
- Intel 320 series SSD, 120 GB SATA
- ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
- Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1600 RAM
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1
The performance is incredible, web pages jump off the screen and wakes from Sleep in less than 2 seconds. Importantly, the entire workstation is whisper quiet, I can barely tell when it’s powered on, and apparently is rated at < 20 dBA . The Intel 320 is my first SSD drive, and I’ve been suitably impressed with its speed.
