Hello Everyone
:)

Like i informed everyone a little while back I was planning to give my AMD game system to a family in my area that had 2 very small children and a teen age young man (15).
The system was less then 6 months old and was quite a very good system. Once I re-formatted the hard drive and re-installed to OS I gave them the system along with a new copy of DOD, CS, and half Life. I hope they enjoy the computer and games. I wanted to give them all something to help the complete family.​
:D

I asked some time back your poison was on CPU Chips, Ram, Video Cards, Hard drives and etc. After looking through and reading all the information posted I built my new PC and it is running today.​

The rest of the stuff I picked up my self.

Very nice...what monitor are you using? Or are you buying a new one?
 
That's real cool of you to donate that computer man. I hope they enjoy it. Your new system looks like a smoker. Best of luck with it. :)
 
WOW, only questionS left are... Does it fly? Do your work for you? Go shopping? No to any of these means it needs to go back, or send it to me and Ill take it. lol jk, very nice setup. I wish it was my own.
 
It's a veeeery good system, the only thing is, get another hard drive for the OS, something like a Western Digital Velociraptor.

why does everyone like antec cases so much? ive seen the 900 and its junk.:confused:

Otherwise thats an extremely good system. Have fun with it.

I also hope that you are running 64-bit XP. Otherwise your computer will only use 3.6 gigs of your RAM. Also, 64-bit vista is faster than 64-XP incase anyone else reading plans on getting 64-bit XP.
