Well my rig "sucks." Here's what's currently in it:

- Intel P3-750 (old Slot1 CPU) with a Tennmax P3STF
- Abit BE6-II
- 384MB of Crucial PC133 RAM
- ATI Radeon 7500 (Don't worry the old G400 MAX is still going to be used)
- Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
- IBM 60GXP 20GB HD (system drive)
- Quantum Fireball Plus KA 18GB HD (data drive)
- Pioneer DVD-105S
- Plextor Plexwriter 8/4/32
- Promise Ultra66
- Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 NIC
- Sony 19" 400PS
- Logitech Deluxe104 Keyboard
- Logitech Mouseman Wheel Optical
- Addtronics 7890A case with a PC Power & Cooling 400W Turbo-Cool PS

Well my friend, that doesn't suck (though I know you were kidding). Rather, that is the rig all of us should be using: decent speed, high quality parts, not too fast, not too slow. Looks like the intelligentest machine, if not the phattest

I on the other hand am compensating for something, clearly:

2xPIIICuMine 1GHz
4x256MB Crucial CAS2 PC133 SDRAM
Asus CUV4X-D
G400 DH 32
RR-G
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Adaptec 29160
Plextor 40Max
Toshiba SD-1401 DVD
Yamaha 8/4/24 CD-RW
All in an Antec SX840 w/ a 300 Enlight PS and 6 fans.

1 Quantum Atlas 10KII 9.1GB
1 IBM 36LZX 10K 9.1GB
in an Antec KS004 enclosure w/LVD cabling.

Gonna move my Asus V7700 Geforce2 GTS and IDE RAID set into this box, and punt my second machine for some green. Might upgrade to an RT2500, should the oportunity arise.
