Any suggestions on cabinet and what SMPS...to run this config effeciently...
Jetway are not problematic and RMA is reasonably effecient.

Yes X2 4800+ will be good along with DDR2 800mhz, but read ON.

Make sure when you buy that whatever you are getting is a 690G and not 690V which is a lower end variant.
Jetway are not bad.



Now if you look into some other of my posts, I have clearly mentioned that how my processor is spoiled along with motherboard because of wrong SMPS selection. Go to no158 reply of mine.

So dont go for any bad SMPS. 400W is best if you dont plan to plug in a dedicated graphics card. If you do so, then buy 600W SMPS.
Regarding cabinet, iBall cabinets will do, but if your location is good ( read Megacity ) then buy from Antec or ASUS (ASUS are hard to find and 99% computer vendors dont even know ASUS does sell cabinets ).
Antec is best . usually a typical game console will have one 120mm fan running in front and two 80mm fans at the back.


But you are not utilizing for gaming, front fan should not be a prority and one 92mm fan at rear will do the job.
Iball Gamer cabint will do job for you. will cost around 1500-1700( comes with 400W SMPS and it works good, I am using the same ). Antec, if possible to put into your budget, is the perfect option to be implemented.

Also look for Intex Innovator cabinet, but this should be your last option if nothing else works out. If possible just avoid Intex.

My advice is to you is , if budget exceeds with X2 4800+, 800mhz RAM, then go for X2 4400+, 667mhz RAM but dont skimp on well ventilated cabinet and good SMPS. These two thing can some time make or break things.
