P.S. Case: - I can't overstress the importance of a good case and powersupply for stability. Looks like you're going for a generic case - add NIS100 to get a much better compucase/HEC case.

Please help me in the choice of the PC computer configuration for work under Linux (I intend to instal Fedora on it). On this computer there will be a complicated scientific calculations performed: user-written programs, mostly C/C++, which run from several days to several weeks. The critical usere demands are: -productivness -stable and robust work during high (close to or equal 100%) load -big hard disk space For now I've chosen the following configuration: CPU: PENTIUM IV 2.8 GHZ 512CACHE 800 MHz HT MotherBoard: ASUS P4P800 i865PE/DUAL DDR400/LAN Memory : 2 X 512 MB DDR 400 MHz Video Card: 128 MB ATI RADEON 9200 TVOUT AGP X8 HDD: WD 120GB/7200/8MB CACHE DVD-ROM: ASUS FDD 1.44": PANASONIC/SONY Case: CASE for PENTIUM IV 2FANS Please suggest me any changes which can increase stability of the the configuration during long-time 100% load. Or give an examples of PC configurations you've purchased recently. Is Asus P4P800 motherboard good for long-time lasting hard use? Or it can be overheated, because it was not initially designed to give maximal stableness, but to provide a best production for limited time periods ? My another thought is to buy the same configuration, but assembled by some of "brands" like HP - i.e. to order HP brand computer with the same configuration as shown above. As I know, brand name assembled PC computers usually are more stable - isn't it ? The ideal case is to buy non-PC (SGI, Alpha, Sun) computer, but we're rather limited in money for such computers.
