Hey! How does this computer look?

[Seyba]

Dear sirs or feminine sirs,

After years (read: days) of careful planning, I think I'm ready to hit the order button. But first I'd love to hear more opinions (thats all I do on these forums anyway) on how this system looks. drum roll

Lian-Li PC-65 USB case + Antec 400w PSU
Athlon XP 2000
Asus VIA A7V333 motherboard
IBM 60gb 7200rpm (using now)
two 256mb sticks of Crucial PC2100 DDR SDRAM (using now)
Leadtek GF4 Ti4400
Soundblaster Audigy
Netgear nic (using..)
56k (using..)
Sony DVD-ROM (using..)
Plextor CD-RW (using..)
floppy (using..)
24/7 defense grid consisting of 19 24' gun barrels and 5 SAM sites

And the cost comes to $892.00 of the upgrades I am ordering.

How am I doing? Am I missing anything critical and I should be called an idiot for forgetting? Or does everything look good?

Thanks! I could never do these upgrades without you.

after years... of ur waiting it wouldnt be nice of me to say WAIT BEFORE BUYING ZE COMP-but i do. hehe!!
why dont ya wait from AMD's T-bred launch later this june and instead of putting ur old 256mb ddr chips exchange them for one 512ddr chip it will help you in future upgrade (xperience). i am stuck with two 128mb sdram chips. feel like a jerk not going for a 256 chip. BTW r u putting usb 2.0?

otherwise that sexy system u got.

 

[Seyba]

USB2.0? No idea at all, I'm clueless about that.

And I don't think I can wait until June, I have a deadline before that.

Thanks!

What applications are you gong to run on the computer?

 

[jcmkk]

It looks good, order already.

 

[Seyba]

er.. I should have mentioned that. It's a gaming computer.

 

[microAmp]

Looks good, expect that IBM drive, hope it holds out on you!

You going to try to o/c that? Hit that order button if not.

If he gets a decent hsf combo he'll be able to overclock it easily. If he just uses stock cooling, thats another story entirely.

Nice case.

I'd trade in that last item on your list for 1000 hydrogen bombs. I heard they're a pretty good theft deterrent

I have no plans to overclock it (yet.) So I'm using stock cooling for now. Besides, I have no idea how to change the fans safely.

Is your case louder than normal because of the side window?

how are you planning on upgrading without changing the fan? or is this thing sorta pre-built? curious.. good price.. drrroolll.. gf4..

What happens if the person just steals it? oh yeah, it might be recorded to the HDD

 

[FlippyBoy]

this system will run ANY current game out there VERY nicely, and most games to come just as nicely probably for the next 2 years. it's beautiful (-;

Looks like you're going to have one fast system - have fun!
