Wed Jul 13, 2005 8:30:38 PMI didn't know exaclty where to put this, so I put it in the gaming forum (after all, that is the main purpose of the computer). Anyway, here is a list of what I am getting:
Motherboard: Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLi nForce4 SLI Audio/GB-LAN/IEEE/USB/PCI-E/SATAII/DDR/ATX 64 939
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 1MB 90nm Rev. E San Diego (939), (Plan to overclock it a bit as well)
Memory: 2GB Corsair DDR (400) 3200 (2 Pieces, 1GB each)
Video Card: BFG Tech Geforce 7800GTX 256MB 256-bit GDDR3, VIVO, PCI Express x16 (eventually plan to get two and go SLI)
Sound Card: BlueGears HDA Digital XMystique 7.1 Gold Sound Card
Hardrive: 120 GB, 7200 RPM, 16MB Cache
Secondary Hardrive: 80 GB, 7200 RPM, 8MB Cache (ie. the one I am using now)
DVD Burner: Two, Sony 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 4X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE
Floppy Drive: Sony 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive
Keyboard: I-Rocks XSlim Illuminated Keyboard
Mouse: Razer Diamondback Plasma *Limited Edition* 1600 DPI Optical Mouse
Case: Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A [ with dual blue cold cathode kit (sound reactive) ]
Power Supply: SilverStone Zeus 650W Power Supply nVIDIA SLI Certified
Speakers: I don't know (some kind of surround sound ones)
Monitor: 17" LCD (ie. the one I am using now)
Other: Caffeine to stay up and play all night
Comments? It will cost me an arm and a leg but it is worth it to me. I already have enough money for half the computer and should have the other half somewhat soon.

The computer will survive for a few years. I've seen the Silverstone power supplies, they are good quality.
You aren't really skimping on any piece (except for non RAID hard drive). What do you plan on spending for this beast?

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Well, I have calculated it up and it will cost me arround $2000 or so (give or take a few hundred ) but I have some of the stuff already and over half the cash needed, so I should have it all around Christmas (I would have it sooner but with college starting up, my hours at work will be cut).
