250 MB Hard Drive

I would buy a P4 EE and if I had any money left over put it in a nice display case with good lighting.

As for a case, vid card, etc., who needs 'em? I have a P4 EE!

that's kinda where i'm at

 

[asm0deus]

a dream rig for a $1000? must not be a very lofty dream....

amd64 ~3ghz, water cooled, PCI-E, sata 200gb, gig o ram and a 6800 might be a stretch but it makes me tingle.

 

[Gibson486]

wait a year and that dream system will come true......
