My New PC (LARGE PICS)
A lot of you may not know this, but I am a huge computer geek. My new parts came in, and I put it together last night. Here are the pics.
It has an AMD Barton 2500+ CPU, 1GB PC3200 DDR RAM, GeForce4 Ti-4800 128MB video card, MSI nForce2 mobo, 80GB 8MB Buffer Hard Drive, 500W PSU, 52X burner, and all the extra good stuff you see.
This is the best one I ever built, and it was only 1300 bucks. Not a bad deal if ya think about it.

Nope, thats not a bad deal at all...I like the clear case. What do you usually use yours for? Looks like some serious gaming based on some of you components...

Antec case, only the best my man. 
I got the same case in black with a skewed rectangle window and the same blue cold cathode. You got taste!
I don't wanna bust your bubble, but if you want something that performs just as good, if not better, go ATI Radeon 9500 to save money.
I got the 9700 Pro recently...holy crap!
Don't worry about the Geforce FX or 9800 yet, $500 is WAY to much.
Oh for you older folks, computer modding and performance is kinda like the "Ricers" of computer nerds.

I may just get into modding my computer too since I enjoy building them, and it'* cheaper than modding a car. Well my Malibu will be used for work so there is no point and the bonneville isn't on the road yet.
Nice job!
Nice job!

Ansering everyone'* questions:
I'm not a fan of ATI cards. I don't like their drivers, and in my experince, they don't work well with some software. I like my GeForce. Nvidia cards work great, and the drivers are amazing.
Also, this looks like an Antec case, but it is really a Chieftec. They are the same manufacturers of Alienware towers.
I use this PC for gaming, video editing, photo editing, and just plain everthing else. I have the gig of ram for the video editing.
Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

Looks great Sol..I must say you folks have way more computer balls then I have, but as long as my cable card, DVD, CD writer, digi cam, internet and AutoCad work...then I'm a happy camper
