k got the taxes in spent an average chuck of change at a local wholesale outlet for some junk to toss together.. point is i can bid my 2yr old emachine goodbye the curse is lifted.. (had to get it do to life comes first)

so not the gear oriented like the rest of you are just needed the basices.. im happy..

a Clio black case with nice big x on the side has several glowy parts in it..
Amd sempron 2600+ 33mhz proc works for me
1.5gb ddr ram 184 pin 333 pc 2700
160 gb maxtor 7200 hd
chaintech geforce fx 5200 128 mb ddr agp vid card.. works with world of warcraft flawlessly (only game i play) 69 bucks what i had at the time lol
spire red breeze 80mm red led fan sever actually 4 different color fans in side
the light strips are on back order.

what all i had to get the rest i have

win xp pro 160 bucks

no on board vid woot.

only thing that gave me fits was the power sw wire was a bit short for the mother board fitting.. had to move the bundles around a bit to get it and i have a new port i have yet to see.. but im a bit out dated.. its like a usb.. well its in the same spot as my usb's on the top but different narrow and flat on one end arrow shapped at the top D like that but backwards heh.. is isnt like the usb printers you have now a days with the other end being like D but narrower like i said..

ill be moving my dvd-rw and cd-rw tomorrow .. btw ran outta mulla before i got to the os so it starts up and glows nice and omg its nice and quiet.

only setting in the bios i had to change was the ram to 166mhz from 100 and host clock at next boot to 166mhz instead of 100 what did that mean for those that know id like to know?

so it might suck to some.. but compared to the pukEmachine i was using im in heaven.

That random port is most likely firewire. A handy port to have around.

And as far as it being a crappy machine, it sounds pretty good to me. Might not be top of the line, but it's definitely not going to have any problems with any software you could find today.

What was the grand total you spent on it? (If you dont mind me asking)

catback

Yea that unidentified port is firewire (aka IEEE 1394) like sandeep said. Host clock, better known as CPU clock or FSB Clock, sets the clock speed of the FSB (Front Side Bus) and the CPU.

You gotta be kidding your sempron 2600+ does not run at 33 mhz. You have to mean 333 Mhz FSB.
