So, I posted some info about the new PC I was planning on building about 6 months ago... and now finally it's nearly complete!!

Here's what it has so far:

-Thermaltake Matrix Case w/ 400 Watt Power Supply (Details (http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/midtower/matrix/vd2000.asp))
- ECS KN1 SLI Lite Extreme Mother Board (Details (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&TypeID=31&DetailID=534&MenuID=16&LanID=9))
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+ Socket 939 (Details (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_13041,00.html))
- 2 GB DDR 400 PC3200 RAM
- 256 MB GeForce 7600 GT w/SLI Support
- Sony DVD +R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM & CD-R/RW Drive
- Multi-Flash Memory Card Reader Drive
- 60 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM HDD


Coming Soon:
- 300 GB SATA Segate HDD
- Windows XP x64
- Mac OS
- Pictures/Screen Shots

I booted it up last night for the first time, browsed around on the Linux installed on the 60 GB drive... waiting for school to start again so I can get the student discounted OS.

That's awesome.
Some of that stuff is better than mine:

Antec Case (heck if I remember exactly what it is)
Intel D945PBL motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 3.4ghz
3gb pc2-4200 ddr2 RAM
512mb GeForce 7950GT w/ SLI support
Memorex DVD±R/RW/DL + CD-R/RW
Audigy 2 sound card into 7.1 Creative surround sound system
36gb Raptor 10,000RPM WD HD
160gb 7,200RPM WD HD
80gb 7,200RPM WD HD (unused)
20gb 7,200RPM Maxtor HD (unused)

..and all of that, except the video card, is at least 2 years old.

Coming soon:
More $
A lower CPU temp

Coming later:
{Some} motherboard supporting SLI
150gb Raptor 10,000RPM WD HD
PCI ATA card
{Some} case (CMStacker, perhaps)


Does anyone need an ATI Radeon x700 Pro (pci-x x16)? offer?

Update:

I ordered a 250 GB SATA Western Digital HDD and Windows XP 64-bit. It will arrive on tomorrow (Monday Jan 28, 2007).

The Windows OS comes with a coupon for Vista. I think I'll have Vista delivered but I don't think I'll install it (or at least I won't use it as my primary OS since Vista sucks balls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista)).

Screen shots tomorrow.
