(OT) Wooh! New PC

Next week I'll be posting to AMB from a new PC.

P4 2.4GHz 533 Bus CPU Asus P4PE 533 Bus Mobo ATI 9700PRO 128MB Video SoundBlaster Audigy SoundCard
Toshiba 16x DVD ROM Acer 48x12x50 CDRW 512MB DDR PC3200 RAM (I may double this.) 80GB 7200 ATA100
HDD Generic case, floppy, fans, etc. Win2k Pro

$1200

I could have cut some corners here and there and got it maybe another $200 less but, the spares I
have will be going into Erin's PC. (Sound Card, DVD, CDRW, etc) so I just added them in.

Did you build yourself or store bought?

I was just looking at some cases and I need to get a new video card tonight/this weekend.

A little of both. They offered to put most of it together free of charge so what the hey. (I was
going to build it myself until they waved the install fee.)

What kind of video card are you going to get? The ATI 9700PRO I ordered is OEM so it was about
$75 cheaper.

Not sure...I'm waffling between what you got, 8500 or the 8500DV. I need/want the tuner since I
don't own a TV.

I think I've ruled out the 8500DV though; wanna get 128mb, but the $ goes up exponentially.

I have a nice, ugly plastic beige case. It does the trick but I do like the brushed aluminum ones
better. I just have a hard time spending the cash on a fancy looking case when I could be spending
it on more RAM, faster CPU, or something like that. Where do you guys get your stuff? I've been
using www.newegg.com for a while and they seem like they really have it together. They do no
assembly but the prices are good (IMO).

Yeah, I realised as I got further down. I really should have read the entire thread but guessed that
nobody would have heard of it.
