Congratulations, sounds very good.

cept for a couple diff brands. Its almost an exact replica of my PC.

you'll like it very much. nothing like the feeling that any game that comes out you can play. :)

did you get a special case with a window in it or anything? mine has a window on the side and a blue light inside......... kinda cool to look inside sometimes. hehehe

Yep, its a black case with a window on the right side.

And almost the exact same case as mine :P you have like my computers sister :p

p4 2.66, 512mb ddr ram, geforce4 ti 4200 128mb, cdrw, blah blah all that. yup yup

Congratulations on your new PC Jason.

I also recently got a new computer, here are the specs:

P4 2.80 GHZ
PC2700 512MB DDR DIMM 333HZ
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB
120GB 7200rpm

Nothing else noteworthy.

Damn...I thought I might have the best PC out of anyone at GT when I get it, but yours is a little better...Damn you Bond:p

well you can just overclock yours and get over 3GHZ out of it. :P mines overclocked to 2.8 (didnt want to over do it cuz i never done it before)

P4's i hear are actually really good at not overheating.

altho i dont recommend it if ya dunno what your doing. heh

Yea...and I know almost nothing about overclocking...so I doubt I'll risk doing that...BTW, where did you get yours, Null?

I'm saving up for an eMac. :)

lol. mines a long story..

orignated a year maybe 2 ago. i ordered a 1.6ghz computer from Dell.

since getting that i had upgraded the mem, HD's GFX card, Sound Card, and i got bored to say the least.

i wanted to get a new case and transfer my Dell computer into the new case.

doing this proved to be harder because stupid dell uses parts that arent same size and made same way to fit in other cases..

When taking the CPU out, OOPS! a little part of the Motherboard broke off. this gives me a reason to buy a new Motherboard. *grin*

When going out i thought well hell, while getting new motherboard i might as well get a DDR ram one istead of the SD ram i currently had.

got it all put together my comptuer. was happy............ Then i got to thinkin and lookin at all the spare parts i had from upgrades.... i had a spare case, motherboard (slightly broke) HD, GFX card, Sound card. I had everything except a CPU, so i went out to now upgrade my CPU

Wanted to get a 2.8, didnt care for the 3.0 (double the price 600, and wasnt really better unless you do a ton of things at once) then i looked more at the prices and 2.66 was over 100 cheaper and when thinking about it... only a 140mb difference.

so i bought the 2.66.


Since then i fixed the old motherboard, was only a snaped off one of thoes black cillender thingies. soddered that on. and rebuilt the original 1.6 Dell computer.

So short answer.... I built my own. :p

I'm jealous I want a new computer ...hmph.

Well it finally shipped! Yay! It should come Tuesday or Wensday.

i just got that 9500 pro last night...*sigh* I LOVE IT!!! :D

My computer came today, and so far im loving it. Everything was pre installed, and its working great. Im a little confused on my display settings, becuase it tells me to disable the TV output if your not using a TV screen, but I go to where you do that and the TV output isn't enabled...and it says it is...it says you get a higher refresh rate if you disable it...but whatevah...XP seems great so far...I havent gotten the chance to install anything to test out this baby's power, Ive only installed my cable internet software. I'll update later after ive had more time.
