+ 160 gb external with firewire and USB 2.0
nVidia TI4200 128 mb

Got this comp for $350 and threw some parts I had kicking around into it. I have tons of spare parts, including a new mobo, extra video cards, harddrives, power supply, cd-roms, cables, case, enough to make a half decent system but I'm just going to build a new one after I get my house.

By flat monitor do you mean flat LCD or CRT?

If it's an LCD, is it good for gaming? I've heard LCD's (even high end) can't handle high frame rates.

CRT, got it 3 years old off lease to a design agency for around $400, it's awesome. My brother picked one up at the same place, a 21" not flat screen and a little older for about $150.

Man you guys got some nice stuff.

I'd love to buy another gig of RAM for my rig but it's RDRAM and may as well be pressed in Gold. It's not exactly value priced.

Where are you getting it from? Check tigerdirect.ca that's where I got mine and the prices aren't that bad. What socket are you using? Why not just get a mobo that supports DDR and a higher chipset then you have? Come in handy when you want to upgrade in the future.

Never really thought of that. I guess I just don't want to dump another $1000 into a rig thats actually still new. I'd rather wait and upgrade to 64 bit in a year or so.

Actually, that's about the same price as one stick of 512 RDRAM. That may be the way to go then.
