1024 MB RDRAM PC800 ECC (4x256)
Intel DB850 (locked FSB, usb 1.1 AGP/PCI, no onboard anything - which is fine by me)

SB Live! Platinum 5.1 with front breakout box
Real Hollywood magic DVD decoder
Pioneer DVD reader

Now resting peacefully in a big rubermade container. I may dig it out and fire up some old games! CS beta 6.5/7 any one?

congrats on not wasting your money as badly as last time.

however SLI is a waste, and so is a 9800gtx with ATI 48xx to be released monday.

well i built this almost 2 months ago now. just posting about it now.

also i will never run a ATI/AMD, so there ya go. They are only good for synthetic benchmarks, in app benchmarks Intel/Nvida beats them.

Kinda like dyno queen doesn't = first on race day.
