dgor 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It started life as a Packard Bell Imedia but countless tweaks, small explosions and wild cursing by me have turned it into: 160GB SATA2 HDD 3GB DDR2 RAM (dual-channel) 480W Tagan PSU nVidia/BFG 7600GT DVD-RW drive External 250GB HDD Stock monitor and basic Logitech speakers And some dust Top of the list is a whole new system, I can't upgrade this one due to a tiny case (and tiny wallet admittedly) and an ancient motherboard.
