Sure, I hear all the negative comments about prebuilt PCs especially ones from Compaq. However, it was really hard to pass this one up considering I don't want to have to fool around with building an entirely new system this time around. Anyway, here are it's specs:
Coolermaster Wavemaster Case
Enermax 470W PS (Noise Taker I believe)
Athlon 64 3800+
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
2 WD 74GB Raptors (Raid 0)
1GB PC3200 (will prob swap in my old 1GB Kingston HyperX PC3500)
GF 6800 Ultra 256MB
Audigy 2 ZS
9-in-1 media card reader
Double Layer 16x DVD+/-R/RW
56K modem (just in case of DSL downtime )
Win XP Pro w/ SP2
This is basically what the system looks like. It will not have the cool case window though. 🙁
The total price was $2178 with free shipping, so I don't think I did too bad after pricing all the parts seperately at Pricewatch. I will most likely have to do some tweaking/optimizing and interior cabling modifications. I will also be installing my old CD-RW and 160GB WD.
Edit: Wow, just realized that I have only posted 3 times on AT and I have been a member for years. :Q
