I just put together a new PC about three days ago, with an AMD XP1800 cpu and an Abit KG7 motherboard. It rocks pretty hard... Also under the hood (in case you care) 512meg DDR RAM (as stated, so cheap right now, why not? And the KG7 will support up to 4 gig) ATI Radeon AIW 32mg vid card Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Platinum w/Live!Drive Plextor 16x10x40A CD-RW 60.5 gig 7200 rpm IDE HD (maxtor) 40 gig 7200 rpm IDE HD (maxtor) Linksys NIC card blah blah blah.
