This is what I built for myself last year. I’m trying to decide between upgrading or starting fresh and building a dual core AMD64 with SLI.
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (like this but 1.83ghz)
Motherboard: MSI K7N2GM2-LSR
RAM: 1gig (512x2) Kingston
Video: RADEON 9600XT
Case: Antec Aria
Hard drive: 120gig samsung.
OS: Win XP Pro
extras:
Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter
Currently the proc is running at 2.1ghz, I had to crack open the PSU to put a better fan in it (with Blue LEDs!). The PSU fan is running a 7volts (nice and quiet) I use headphones so I’m using the on board sound. So it sits quietly on my desk and casts a nice blue glow on the wall behind it.
The next step is to upgrade to a seriously kick ass video card so I can play EQ II with all of the effects cranked!
