    Cool 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

    CASE and POWER SUPPLY
    no idea

    VIDEO CARD
    ATI SAPHIRE OEM RADEON 9500 128MB DDR Black BULK
    Specifications: New Black PCB Version
    $139

    MOTHERBOARD
    Epox 8RDA3+
    $110

    CPU with Heatsink and Fan
    Athlon XP 2500+ Barton $85
    Thermaltake SLK-800A $39
    Thermaltake SmartFan II $10

    HARD DRIVE
    WD WESTERN DIGITAL "SPECIAL EDITION" 120GB 7200RPM EIDE 8MB
    $115

    MEMORY
    KINGSTON HyperX Series 184-pin 1GB Kit (2x512MB) DDR333 (PC2700)
    $199

    SPEAKERS
    Logitech Z640 5.1 Speaker
    $65

    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

    ADD: I forgot the Speakers

    how about this for a Case and PSU?

    "ANTEC Performance PLUS Model PLUS1080AMG- with Antec Original TRUE 430W P4 Power Supply ATX12V Retail"

    comes with a true (don't know how true is that) 430W psu, doesn't look 'that' expensive

    $105 + $18 S&H

    to much overkill with the psu, but it'll last a while
