159196 2003-07-12 14:35:00 Specs are somewhat average by today's standards, but way better than what I had before...

P4 2.4G
512 sdram
Asus P4S533-x mainboard (allows DDR ram up to 2 gig)
Seagate Barracuda 7200 80G drive
Quantum Fireball 30G secondary drive
El cheapo ATI Radeon 9000 graphics
PCI adsl modem
Geeky Neon coldglow internal light
Icute case with 350w psu
Pioneer DVD
El cheapo Soundblaster Live sound from old system (although the mobo has quite respectable onboard sound)
TDK Tremor 150 speakers from old system (better than my Hi-Fi!)
XP pro
MS Office XP pro

Some ingredients came off the old system, eg speakers, opsys and monitor (Philips 107T).

159197 2003-07-12 15:15:00 Very nice Greg :-) Loving the pic of the case mod/lights, and the system fan ;-) Chilling_Silently (228)
159198 2003-07-12 23:00:00 mmmmm very nice Greg. Same processor and monitor as me. :-)

How come you didn't put Linux on it though, instead of Win XP? I would have! :p :D

159200 2003-07-12 23:12:00 The powering up for the first time of your homebuilt PC is an amazing feeling isn't it :D - it looks very nice!

> (Note: I didn't get the fancy case and light for any geeky purpose - I occasionally get customers to my house for help, and I thought it would look impressive!)

lol, who are you trying to kid! I bet you sit in the dark just to watch all those pretty lights :p
