Check out my new baby!
I built this myself from the ground up!
For all of you geeks out there heres the specs... ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AMD 64x2 dual core 2.2ghz (Custom Cooling) 2 Gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 Dual NVidia 7600GS Extreme PCI-E Video Cards 256mb ram a piece (Custom cooling) Dual Western Digital SATA 3.0gb/s 320gb Hard drives Windows XP Professional Dual DVD-RW Lightscribe drives Logitech Z-5450 digital 5.1 surround sound Sceptre 20.1" widscreen lcd monitor Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse Theres more I could go into... but this isnt a computer tech forum  All in all, the total cost for the whole setup was about $2600, give or take a few $$, but not by much. Just got it all set up tonight, and it just tears up the games Ive thrown at it... Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion is the most demanding game I have tried so far, and it runs everything on maxed out settings! Only thing in the back of my head.... for $2600 I could have bought a replacement SVX  ~Dennis

 pretty slick, and nice job. i really want a new computy, but i'm waiting until Vista is out so i don't have to install it on top of XP.

I'm hoping the monitor was the bulk of that price. :|
Good grief. Lookes nice, though. No reason it shouldn't last you a good 5 years or so.

2600 eh, for someone else building it, that's not too bad of a price - way out of my range though.
With that kind of money, why didn't you invest in water cooling? Air is so 20 years ago.

The monitor was like $300 as were the speakers... the rest went into the guts. I know in 6 months it will be outdated, but thats what upgrades are for
The elder scrolls game is out for x-box 360 and computer only... at least for now, who knows about the future. Ive been without a computer for like 8 weeks because of the price, I ordered this in parts, and lust got the last order. So Im having fun with it, the only part that sucks is getting all the drivers to work..... I was looking at watercooling, but I dont want to run the chance of a line busting or something... I can get it in the future however, since my chassis is designed to have watercooling. I wanted xp for now, but only because I dont know what games... if any can be plaed with vista, I do have it on DVD (RC1) incase I want to install it.... we'll see.
