I can't believe I got my new computer (I built) to work on the first try!

Here's what I used from my old computer:
2 hard drives
Geforce 4 video card
CDRW drive
floppy drive

Here's what's new
2.8 GHz Pentium 4 with an 800 MHz front side bus and hyperthreading technology
Intel PERLL motherboard
1 gig of DDR RAM
CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive
Antec TruPower power supply
CompUSA case with fans and window panels.

Not to bad a system considering I spent less than $500.

Good job! That's strikingly similar to what I just built!

New stuff:

• Intel D875PBZ mobo
• Intel P4 2.6 GHz 800 FSB with HT
• 2 sticks of dual channel 512mb PC-3200 DDR SDRAM @ 400 MHz each

Old stuff:

• Geforce 4 TI 4200 (Soon will be a Radeon 9700 pro)
• Sound Blaster Audigy
• Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speakers (crap but cheap)
• All my old drives

The Massassi Post Count Summary(link works now)

On the shelf at CompUSA around here the processor is $350 and the motherboard is a bit less than $200.

I found them on newegg.com for $210 (processor) and $110 (motherboard). A friend of mine has a coprporate account at CompUSA and was able to save me about $15 each on the case and power supply. The combo drive I actually found for $15 after rebates this morning at OfficeMax. The RAM - you won't believe this - I got free after rebate (old deals no longer available)

Mine too

That was seriously probably the greatest sense of accomplishment I've felt in like... my whole life. I'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.
