and to think i thought you were my cousin bro. he also builds comps. i've got a korean safer brand thing. not too interesting unfortunately. 1.7ghz 40gb HDD, 256MB ram, GeForce 2 MX400 64mb video ram, LCD monitor.... what else do you want?

I prefer to build my own, I don't trust computer stores, they always seem to penny pinch on a component here or there.

I've been upgrading over the past few months so these specs will probably stay the same for the next 12 - 24 months. So without further ado, here is my e-penis.

Intel D865PE Mobo
P4 2.6 800FSB w/ hyperthreading
512Mb Corsair PC3200 RAM
128Mb GeForce FX 5900 (Leadtek)
Soundblaster Live!
Cambridge Soundworks speakers (4 Satellites & Subwoofer)
Antec 380W Powersupply
80Gb Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive
Pioneer DVD ROM
Acer CD-RW
Brushed Aliminium Case (2 Intake + 2 Exhaust Fans)
Sony 17" LCD Screen

*wipes brow* phew!

@Gromit, what is the difference between XP Home and XP Professional? I'm trying to decide which I want on for my next system. So far I never upgraded from Win98 2nd Edition.
