Thanks. This build is christened G7, because it is the seventh generation of PC I've built dating back to G1 in 1995.

Are you parting out your E8400 build?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Time to nef out. I took FOREVER for me to key in all those Amazon gift cards and I need to get to bed. Busy day tomorrow!

Along side with my dad I remember building a Intel 233 machine. My first machine by myself was a Athlon 1500+

The E8400 will move to a different case. The only thing it loses is the graphic card and the CPU cooler. I'll probably set it back to the default clock speed unless I have a change of heart and grab the Corsair H60 fr $60 from Best Buy for my new build.
