Still making it with an AMD 1.2ghz tbird. 512 Ram, 80gig HD. I've considered taking some cash from my reef budjet to upgrade it, but honestly, it does everything I need it to do. I did recently take some spare acrylic and cut a window/door in the side of the case. Actually functional and not just eye candy... the case is an older full tower and to do anything to it you had to remove both sides and the top (all one piece). I had considered just buying a new case that the sides just slide off on, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

AMD Athlon XP2200+
Asus A7N8X-X
1024 DDR3200 RAM
80G WD HDD + 60G HDD
ATI Radion 9600 Pro 128MB Video

My wife is still happy using her 400Mhz P3 with as many RAM chips as I can fit in it and a small hard drive and cheap graphics card. I would like to upgrade her, but she likes the computer she has.

Andy, the workhorse I been using for a while is a P2 400 mhz, 384 RAM 20 GIG HDD and whatever sound and graphics are on board. Its worked well for what I do, but its hard to DL newer stuff and get it to run so I feal I deserved an UPGRADE
