ZEUS Home build project PC workstation

 

Home build project ZEUS  (April 2006)

PC Workstation.
My first home build Personal Computer project in 2006: a Personal Computer Workstation called ZEUS
It was my intention to build a stylish, easy modificational and fast PC. The choice for the case was made easely quickly, and next an AMD 64 bits dualcore and a suitable motherboard.
The rest of the components I did choose on price vs performance proportions.

Underneath the specifications of several parts.
With help of ScapS and Stefan.
