i had that case in my old comp... still in disrepair... i think you didnt get the best ram though.... OCZ gold series is cheaper and better.... still ddr2 800 but its a better product

Looks like a pretty sweet rig

A note, The 74gb Raptor wont give you a noticeable performance increase.

No point at all in throwing away that money when you wont notice much if any difference from a 7200rpm drive. You can get a 500GB and a 80GB hard drive for that price. Maybe if they drop the price it would be worth it.

All that matters is that you're happy with it. If it runs to your satisfaction then to heck with everyone else's opinion. Looks like a solid machine.

I was going to go with an Intel Dual Core, now you have me thinking about going back to AMD.

Nice...I was thinking of the same Processor as that when I was in the upgrade fever. I just settled for more RAM though, and I'm sad

Let me know how that Video card performs..I may upgrade mine in a bit.
