Here is what I just ordered 😀 Doom 3, here I come:

Athlon 64 3200+ Retail
Chaintech VNF3-250
1024 MB Corsair PC3200 Value Select
PNY 6800 GT
Antec Sonata Case
Seagate 80 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
LiteOn 52x32x52x
Asus 52x CD-ROM
Floppy
Assorted Rounded Cables

I can't wait! What do you think?
 
Nice job man, it'll feel really good putting it all together and having it boot for the first time. I practically held my breath last summer when starting up my rig (was the first personal rig I built in 7 1/2 years, and first into watercooling).

My advice to you is to take a trip to your local hardware store and buy a bag of mini zipties. You'll need em to make everything look nice.
 
Athlon 64 3200+ Retail
Chaintech VNF3-250
1024 MB Corsair PC3200XLL 2-2-2-5
BFG 6800 GT
Aspire X dreamer 2 biege
Antec true 480
Hitachi 80 GB SATA 7200 RPM Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Samsung 16x DVD-ROm

I almost have the exact same setup on the way. I hate california sales tax so much. Have to ship to nevada to save the from getting boned by it. Soo add like 2 week of extra shipping till I get it cause I was away and my dad couldn't figure out how to get fedex to pickup packages. And most likely another week or two to do that same bs for the BFG6800 gt. Sales tax is such bs. We have enough rich people in california to tax don't we?

Get a cheap DVD-Rom drive instead, so you can watch movies on it. You'll really appreciate the ability to watch DVD's, and it only costs $10.99 more ($30.99) than your CD-Rom drive ($20).

No, I didn't because the only time I watch a DVD is on my tv. My 22 inch monitor is nice and all, but it doesn't compare to my widescreen TV.
