It's Alive!

Motherboard: ECS GF8200A
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
RAM: 4GB 800MHz DDR2 (Kit of 2 modules)
HDD: 320GB SATA 7200RPM 16MB Buffer
Case: Antec Nine Hundred

My accumulation of computer parts has reached a point where I now have a brand new bootable system. There is still some room for improvement via 2 more memory modules, another HDD or four, a video card, and a better CPU; but for only spending a little over $400 so far I'm happy. It's a very nice step up from my old system, and although I won't be picking up Vista anytime soon the on board video card is DirectX10 capable. The motherboard supports Hybrid SLI which looks interesting, and if anyone has some experience with it I'm very interested to learn some more about it's actual performance before I invest in a video card. Pictures coming soon.

p.s. If you want to know how lazy I am about updating this site, notice the date of this post on Gax.
