Well it finally happened. I built my very own machine. Specs: Mitsumi 1.44 Floppy Drive - (MTSD359M3D) Abit KD7-RAID AMD Athlon XP DDR 400MHz PC3200 ATA133 ATX Motherboard With RAID AGP 8X, USB 2.0 and 6 Channel Audio WD 40 GB 7200 RPM ATA 100 Hard Drive Logitech Z640 5.1 Piece Speaker System- Black color # 970073-0403v Logitech Optical 3 Button USB / PS2 Mouse with Wheel KDS VS7P 17" .24 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Visual Sensations Monitor Aopen 16X DVD Tray Load Retail Box # DVD-1648A Samsung PC3200 DDR / 400 512MB VisionTek Xtasy 9500 PRO 128MB AGP Retail Box - Powered by ATI’s RADEON™ 9500 VPU Antec Mini-Tower SX630II ATX Case with 300 Watt Power Supply with ONE additional 80x80mm Case Fan AMD Athlon XP Desktop 2600+ Socket A Model 8 CPU 333MHZ FSB Retail Box Cooler Master HAC-V81 AUTO Speed CPU Premium Cooler - Smart Thermal Sensor Fan - For AMD Athlon XP and Duron Processors Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard - 967233-0403 Total amount: $1033.84 (including shipping) The pieces arrived in two shipments. The first being everything but the case, speakers, and monitor in way of UPS second day air. The second shipment arriving UPS ground. All for $166 bucks comming from New York. First I unpacked the case, laid all the pieces out on the floor, then the motherboard and quickly attacked it. In all the excitement I forgot to take step by step pictures X( . Getting the board in was easy. Getting the huge heat sink in proved difficult, even seeming impossible at first. Getting the first visit of the nosey brat face at this time of frustration quickly getting bored of watching "it" wondered off. :) I had to remove the PSU in order to seat the clip to the socket. You can see how close they are viewing one of the case pictures. I could have used the oem heatsink, but man what an ugly aluminum piece of crap. I really don't know what AMD was thinking when they included it. Also installed the additional intake fan This case is really nice. I do not know if other manufactures have the same installation drive slots as Antec but they make insertion and removal of drives a breeze. I also didn't get cut once seeing how they took care of any sharp edges. The case also has a cool hd bay that detaches by way of a simple lock for ease of hd installation. See?. I removed the drive bay slots and attached them to the CD and DVD drives. What a cool feature that I know my HP lacked and needed. You just use the supplied screws and attach one to each side, line up the drive and slide it in. Viola!...and look twins. :) soo cute. Got another visit from the nosy baby. :) Installed the memory, video card, put back the PSU and started hooking up all the wires. Yowza, look at the mess. Needless to say I had to buy some tiestraps. (no pictures of it really cleaned up yet) Ok everything was together and pluged in the right places. Crossed my fingers and pressed power....Nada. I was like damn wtf is wrong. I looked at the back of my psu, it was pluged in and turned on. I looked all over trying to find the problem. Stupid me I forgot to push the PS1 connector all the way in! DOH! Tried again....bingo first boot! The nosy brat was happy at her fathers triumpt happy dance I set it next to my old machine on the desk to do some formatting, installation of XP, etc, etc. Only problem I had and still continue to have is that my motherboard will not recognize that I have a 333Mhz FSB Athlon. GRRR!
