just my little boast thread...
between the " *** " are all sorts of specs on my comp...if you really dont care, scoll on down to the bottom...

************************************************** ***************************************

getting 1 gig of HIPERF, KINGSTON memory....
details:
2x 512mB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
HyperX High performance memory
CAS Latency: 2.5
Timing details: 2-3-2-6-1T
Gold plated Connectors

And did I mention, it also comes with a free 16 mB usb memory pen type gadget thingie-ma-bobber

all for $224....free shipping...try and beat that price ANYWHERE

also recently got:
AMD XP2600+ Processor ($97)

Soyo Dragon KT-600 Plus Motherboard ($102)
supports up to 1.5 gigs of pc3200 memory, or 3 gigs of ddr266 memory
Anti-Burn Regulator (shuts pc down when cpu temp exceeds the temperature i specify--60 celsius)
Oh, and did i mention Front side bus overclocking directly from the BIOS?

Serial ATA harddrive, 80 gigs, 7200 RPM, 8 megs cache (maxtor) ($104)
.....Life is good :biggrin:

other specs-- Ive got a Sound Blaster Audigy siter sound card, and a Verto nVidia Ti-4200 AGP video card, with 64 megs of ultra fast, 500 MhZ memory

Antec TrueBlue 450 Watt powersupply, with built in blue LEDs...

2 rear UV sensitive fans, with one of them holding a circular cold cathode UV lamp....a side 80mmfan with 4 blue LEDs

Processor goodies--a copper cpu shim to prevent cpu damage...Arctic silver Ceramique thermal paste for low temps, a Thermaltake ducting mod, and a Thermaltake "smart&silent" Volcano9+ cpu fan--speed up when needed, slows down when cpu is idle

************************************************** ***************************************

Any thoughts??
If anyone wants to know where I find such good deals, Im MORE than happy to share my "tricks of the trade"...
Also, Im interested to see what kind of systems people use here....

be sure to post your specs
