Default ricing out my pc

well, its not much... and rather then going for bust building a 'modern computer' im just upgrading a few key components, which im almost done.

i now have 4 hdd

60 gb 7200
80 gb 5400
**2x 80 gb 7200}raid
lite-on dvd/ cd rw combo (12x24x48x48)
**lite-on dvd burner (8x12x24x48x48)
creative sb audigy ls
altec lansing 5.1 speakers
leadtek geforce 4 ti 4400
amd xp 1900+ (cooled via helicoil heatsink/90cfm fan)
512mb pc 2700 ddr
abit kr7a raid mobo
**500w ps
[2 led fans, and a blue cathode sound activated light]

some of my goals were to improve air flow, noise and looks... and after installing all the new hardware, and shielded connectors, i realized i need a bigger box...
im still waiting on a updated video card to run the latest greatest games at hi res... i think its safe to wait that out a little while longer.

and some history... a 1982 working attache

some old mac craps, and some amazing sparc ipc's officially w2k tested

It looks alright, but case modding isn't really for me.. even though it is relatively cheap.

Nice to see a few copies of evo.. but i treat my copies better

LOL.... i had fire-engine boxes like yours a few years ago.. and i live across the pond from you too 8)
