Pretty much a whole new PC here.
In the following order:
80Gb HDD (hopefully by the time I'm ready to buy the 8Mb cache WDs would have come down in price. I wouldn't mind one of the 120Gb versions...)
CD burner
DVD-ROM
EpoX 8K5A2+ motherboard (has onboard LAN and USB2.0 and is only 20 bucks dearer than the 8K3A+)
512Mb PC2700 DDR-SDRAM
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Cooling fan for the above (not quite sure about this yet, I'm considering the Thermaltake Volcano 7+ but nothings concrete yet.)
Video card, possibly a GeForce4 Ti4200[/list:u]

more hard drives and a dualhead gForce 4 to power my 2 21 inch monitors. I would love to have a solid state ram card like that tho that is so fukin badass
you can boot off a firewire card and usb sucks anyway
well alec I really don't think the NV30 is in my price range. I am running my own small biz so essentials are what I need. I don't really game that much at all so this is what i had in mind http://www.msicomputer.com/product/vga/vga_detail.asp?model=G4MX460-VTP
I know it is an MX and it is crippled (no pixel shaders and whatnot) but like I said I don't really have a chance to play that much anymore. Besides that is more than enough card for my aging p3s.

One day i will build the ULTIMATE system, but u know, a few month later it will be a giant paper weight..lol so almost pointless
i likey won't do that until i got my own house with like a T1 or T3 running into it
talk about dreaming!
