AMD64 3000+ (looking to OC to 3200)
ASUS Nforce 4 SLI deluxe motherboard
Seagate 120GB 7200RPM 8MB buffer
512 X 2 Samsung value RAM, PC3200 and 400Mhz

Cable with rates at 2.4 MBS
ATI RAEDON 9200SE 128 PCI (getting a 6600GT this week, along with another fan and cold cathode light)
Antec Super Lanboy Case with two 120MM fans, front fan lights up blue
Neon blue cold cathode light beside clear side panel
ThermalTake 420 W ATX 12V or so.
SO I normally have sound turned off..... 
The front USB ports are only on the front if the case has them. Alternatively you can connect them to a panel in place of a pci slot.MarineCorps said:
I'm not sure what you are commenting on here. If it is the price then the reason this is expensive is because it is performance RAM for people who like to overclock. An example of a 2x512MB pack that I am talking about is HEREMarineCorps said:
For someone with a larger budget I would agree with you, but Turner 727 is already stretching things with the A64 2800+. The cheapest retail socket 939 CPU is over $200.DaEezT said:

SO in review Turner mine is much better the yours.

You are correct here. I was only listing the A64 3200+ price from newegg as they had nothing cheaper for socket 939 listed. Having done a more thorough check, I have found this S939 3000+ that was not listed under a search for S939 CPUs. I had to search through all AMD CPUs.DaEezT said:
You don't need to convince me. If I was buying a new system for myself then I would be looking at nothing other than a socket 939 CPU. I'm just trying to help people stick to a budget.DaEezT said:Yes, it is 200MHz less than the 745 3000+ but the increased memory bandwidth is worth it imo. Intel has shown us what a low mem bandwidth does to your raw MHz performance
This is the only problem here. The X300SE only has a 64 bit memory bandwidth. You should look at the X300 range which has 128 bit bandwidth. Here is an example:MarineCorps said:Yeah. Might be a good idea then to get rid of PC 2700. Time to relist what I am going to buy. Fell free to berate me.

I'll take what I got. 
On second thought....That's what it costs to get a decent setup. You have some quality components in your list. If you go with this sytem it will perform better than an equivalent package from somewhere like Dell. (Plus you won't have a DellMarineCorps said:Total cost(not including shipping) $1003.67
).Intel should be releasing their 64 bit P4s later this year to coincide with the launch of Windows XP 64 bit. I guess they thought it was best to wait for a 64 bit OS before releasing a 64 bit CPU, whilst AMD decided to corner the 64 bit market earlier.MarineCorps said:
Yes and no. The Sempron is the new value CPU from AMD to replace the Duron, but it is a 32 bit CPU. Basically it is the same architecture as the Athlon 64, but without the 64 bit capability and less level 2 cache.Turner 727 said:
