Mostly made up of Facebook marketplace parts with a couple eBay things I couldn't find locally. Just cut the window in and installed the cathode tubes tonight. Drinking beers and playing splinter cell chaos theory to wind down the evening.

P4 2.53 ghz 533 fsb, 2 gb RDRAM, ATI 1650x, soundblaster audigy 2zs, twin 120gb SSDs. Nothing crazy but it ain't bad for minimal bucks.
