[cod] Small Desktop for COD4/COD5

Thu Feb 5 09:55:54 EST 2009

yea i would love to see a UK option from ET, but shhh lets not get too excited

as for your miniPC turkey, i like the NZXT Rogue 
( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146044 )

ive always been a fan of NZXT, great products... i didnt see any combo kits with it but think a case is a crucial part or your rig no matter what the size. ill look for a mobo/cpu combo when i get home, since Panara is crowded and the net is slowing down.

Is it possible to do all that for under $600 with a case? Do you have any recommendations for a small portable case?

Thank you. :)

Core 2 duo, 2.8 or higher

Nvidia 8800GTX or higher

2 gigs of ram.

You may want to look at the 8900GTs as they run cooler but I would stick with at least 512 megs of ram on the video card.

I always buy my stuff at Newegg.com, you really cant beat their pricing, and cost of shipping.

Good luck

I'm going to Europe for awhile (I can run my business form anywhere with an Internet connection) and I want to setup a desktop that I can take with me on an airplane (like one of those Shuttle cases). I'm currently in the USA.

Any suggestions what system configuration to get to run COD4/COD5 -- cpu/gpu/memory -- with a mini case (like those Shuttle brands). Also, suggestions on where to buy the parts, please.

Budget is around $600 for a desktop (I can get the monitor in Europe). It doesn't have to be any super system, just enough to run COD4/COD5 at 60 FPS with shadows on.

Thank you. :)
