Don't normally do this, but I was alone all weekend for the most part and had no one to share my victory with.

Here is my new rig I built (sorry for pic quality on a few)
I call him Platypus


Inside:

AMD 1700 XP
256 DDR PC2700 Ram
60GB Maxtor Drive
Generic CDROM(courtesy of ag nitrate)
Soyo Dragon KVM70 Mobo
GeForce 2 MX vid (laying around)

Anyway, yes this is dorm room, and yes I am crazy running all this but I am bored :)

Special thanks to ag nitrate and his roommate for watching Willy Wonka with me after building it (to keep my sanity after setting up debian)

Dude, whoever built that rig must have known what he was doing. Everything looks like it's all organized and what not. Mucho props go out to whoever had a hand in helping you build it :)

Oh yeah, and in case you change your mind, it's still not too late to change to gentoo!

The entire thing was 400 dollars first of all, second of all I worked two full time jobs over the last two years to put myself into college. I can buy whatever the hell I want. Why do people feel the need to put themselves into other's business?
