Well guy's i just finished my first PC build in about 4 years and here's what i put together
Amd Opteron 144 stock 1.8 running at 2.6 ghz on air cooling at 38 C idle and 45 C load
DFI Lanparty UT NF-4 Ultra D motherboard
xfx 7900 GT video card 520/1500
1 gig Corsair XMS memory (i know i need more, gonna sell this and get a 2 gig kit)
just using my old HD's still 80 gig 8 meg cache and 120 gig 8 meg cache WD IDE drives(as soon as funds permit 2x 250 gig WD 16 meg Sata drives)
Samsung +/-, Dual Layer, Lightscribe, Ram, DVD burner
Viewsonic VA1912wb 19" widescreen LCD 8 ms response time
X-fi Platinum sound card
and a cool custom Airbrushed mid-tower case i got on ebay for $150 i have no idea what brand it is but it works good =)
All and all i'm pretty happy with it, and with over 19000 3d marks in 3d03 i'm pretty happy, any critiques of my system would be appreciated.
