Geek update

I wanted to thank everyone who helped me with all my questions regarding building my own computer. This weekend, I took the plunge, bought the remaining components and built my brand new baby. Seriously, I built it all on my own! I’m surprised I didn’t short out the mother board

Please meet Phoenix:

New:

• Antec Sonata II Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower ATX Black 450 Watt Power Supply
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Dual Core Socket 939 512K L2 Cache
• Asus A8N-E Socket 939 nVidia nF4 Ultra Chipset Dual-Ch DDR400 8-Ch Audio,4 X SATA GB Lan
• BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB GDDR3 Dual DVI-I,HDTV S-Video Card SLI Ready PCI Express x16 Graphics Card

Recycled:

• 1 GB of RAM
• Older CDRW from my last machine
• 80GB Western Digital Hard Drive
• 20GB Western Digital Hard Drive

I’m in heaven. With my new Dell 20″ Widescreen Flat Panel monitor I feel like a kid in a candy store. Seriously, thank you guys, you helped me out tremendously. I still want to get a DVD-RW but that can wait

Once I get it all set up in the new place I’ll take a picture of the whole set up.
