This spring I finally got around to building a new desktop. The last time I had done any real upgrades to my desktop hardware wise was in late 2004. I decided it was time to start building a new one in April / May. I waited for some price cuts around that time and started ordering. A bunch of pictures are here. The machine I built is as follows:
Antec P180B Case (Although it seemed to have some of the features of P182)
Antec Phantom 500 Power Supply
ASUS P5B Deluxe (Originally bought Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 but it didn't have PCIE x4 slot)
Intel Core 2 Duo 6420 2.13 GHz 4 MB
Crucial 2x1 GB DDR2 PC2-6400
eVGA 8800 GTS 640 MB
LSI SAS 3041E-R SAS RAID
Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 73 GB SAS 15K RPM
Western Digital Raptor X 150 GB SATA 10K RPM
Lite-On LH-20A1H-186 DVD-RW
Plextor Premium CD-RW (From old machine)
Scythe S-Flex S-FDB (4 quiet fans)
Dell 2007WFP (Vertical widescreen)
