Finally buying a new computer, $900~
I will no longer buy the p3 1.4 I was going to get for a very low price nor will I sell my sdram (another thread I made).
I talked with my parents, and recovered some money some people owed me.
So I have around $900 USD to spend.
I already have Monitor, CDRW, DVD-rom, Keyboard and Mouse
I'm not so sure on the case nor on the video card

NOTES:
+since the 8RDA+ are no longer sold at newegg, the 8RDA3+ does have more features; it already has SATA, comes with round cable, dual nics, only downfall is only has 5 PCI slots
+I perfer more memory than getting a faster speed
+Case= There were 3 models sold by Enermax that had enermax PSU and looked nice
+Many people have had great experience with Ati cards, so I perfer an Ati card ;) . newegg no longer sells the 9500np that could be softmod to 9700, oh well.. is there any card that could?
Come on people, critize all you want :D
ADD: I forgot the Speakers
