Ok, I admit it

I've been spending money on something other than my SC... I just spend around $400 in computer parts this week. Best Buy has a deal on Hard Drives and DDR RAM if you guys are computer nerds like me (RJ :p ). I am building a cool little Shuttle Computer. Here is what it looks like:

Stats:

1.83 GHz Athlon XP 2500+ Barton 333 FSB
around 1 GB of RAM
Western Digital 80 Gig 8 MB Cache Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB DDR Vid Card

Uhh... Oh, and the Shuttles have a built-in heat pipe cooling system, so I can overclock.

Pretty bitchin' eh?

Looks like a pretty sweet setup JJ, When I worked doing digital photography we had a setup in one of thoes shuttle cases, They sure are neat, and they don't take up all your space and still have all the capabilities as a full setup. I've been looking to do some upgrading my system but keep having pesky bills popping up that take all my fun money away. Thoes Westren Digital HDs are a pretty good deal all around that's what I'm running in mine as well. And I have that same video card too.
Someday.......

I am mainly upgrading for the extra space it will save. That and my current desktop is really loud after I put in two more case fans. Keeps a nice and cosy 89* though.

I like this video card, but my Sysmark scores seem a bit low. I think it is because of my current processor. We'll see in a week or two when I get my parts in.
