ordered some new PC crap

[Pete]

Antec Aria case
Biostar Micro ATX motherboard with 3 DIMM slots
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
120 GB Maxtor HD
black NEC 16X DVD RW
2 Trendnet gigabit network adapters

I plan to reuse my 2500+ Barton, and 1gb of ram, and sell my GeForce 5900 and my Maxtor hard drives.

NIVE!

[Pete]

oh yea, the DVD burner is dual layer too, maybe I'll get into 'borrowing' DVD's and/or archiving some of my data so when drives crash I don't get really pissed off

[Jeremy]

That would pwn.

got all the stuff in and together and running! (posting on it now)

the small case is cool, it has 2 usb ports, smart card reader, firewire, and sound ports on the front of it...it does run a bit warm inside (I'm not overclocking it anyways) but we'll have to see if its a stability issue when gaming.  If not, F it, if it is, I have a small squirrel cage blower which is sorta like a blower motor in a car or truck I can install to move some air out of it without making much noise.

I'm going to stop by Best Buy tomorrow and pickup Swat 4 and some dual layer DVD's to play with. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
