A work in progress,

Pretty basic as i just finished it but heres as it is..

Spec:

700W PSU (For PCIe x16 6 Pin power)
GeForce ECS mother board
AMD Athlon II 250 Duel Core @ 3.0Ghz
2 Gb of ram (DDR2 @ 800MHz)
500Gb Hard drive, SATA II Interface (3.0Gb/s @ 7200 rpm)
Samsung X22 Duel Layer dvd burner
Custom Galaxy Case with lots of blue LEDs
3.5 inch Card Reader
50Mb/s Virgin Media Broadband
42 inch LG HDTV as monitor

All connected to my surround sound on 5.1

Plans;

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX PCI x16 on the way
Another 2Gb of Ram on the way
Will eventually be upgrading the motherboard for something like an Extreme Asus board and get another 8800 to SLI :smile:

I'm jealous.

I have under a gig of ram, no extra graphic card, an AMD athlon somewhere in the range of 100 MHz I believe.
sad.gif
I ditched Windows for ubuntu to make it run faster while retaining desktop tools and it stuggles with that.
sad.gif
I'm in desperate need of a new one.

Fitted these today
I love them

RAM solid copper heatsinks (went for copper as its 20% beter at dispersing heat over aluminium ones)
They weigh a ton lol

Well, I got bored of waiting for the faulty PSU replacement to get here so I picked up this bad boy, You can really see where the extra cost went into it..

Its a beast
750W 80+,
Quad rail x12v (for 4 way SLI/Crossfire)
Heatshielded wires
Easy connect with plus at both ends of the cables
Massive 135mm Cooling fan (With after power care)

The cable that goes to the was is like a snake lol twice as thick as the one the old PSU was runnin on...
