    Pentium3 600E @ 900mhz
    256megs PC150HSDRAM (MUSHKIN)
    SoundBlaster Live X-Gamer
    Intel InBusiness 10/100 NIC
    IWill SideRAID 100
    2 Maxtor ATA/100 20Gig hdds (striped to make 1 40gig hdd)
    Hercules 3D Prophet2 GTS (64mb)
    JBL 4.1 surround sound system (not klipsch but it blasts alright)
    Kenwood 72x CDROM
    HP CDWriter (10x4x32)
    Some generic 10x DVD
    Antec 840SX tower

    That about covers it. upgrading to a 1040mhz processor (866EB w/ 160mhz bus with my trusty old 440bx)
    I love my computer, i spent about a year saving up all the money and buying it piece by piece. Plays UT and Q3A very nicely in win2k.
