<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I finally got around to building myself a new machine. I may have been able to get the same thing or around the same price if I had just bought it, but this was more fun. :)

2.08 ghz Athlon XP 2800
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mb
512mb DDR PC (gotta upgrade this to faster memory at some point)
Lite-On 4x DVD-R/RW DVD+R/RW (got this pretty cheap at Circuit City)
ATI Radeon 9600 XT vid card
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card (gotta get nice speakers soon)
ViewSonic 19" Flat-screen (not LCD) monitor

My case is pretty cool too, with the blue lights and stuff. heh

Got a basic keyboard (I hate those ones with a million buttons) and a basic Logitech optial mouse.</div>

Not that I do these sort of things. I just decided to volunteer as Blockbuster's backup Administrator, that's all.</div>
