*sigh....yes, again*
Time to feed her absurdly frequent upgrade fetish yet again.
Unlike previous times, the case (Silverstone TJ-06) and PSU (Antec NeoPower 480) will remain the same.
The only internal holdover will be the Seagate SATA storage drive.
The OS will be XP 64Beta (I've been running it for a while now) and I'm not sure what cooling I'll be using- probably start with my Zalman 7700cu while waiting to see what the Asetec Vapochill unit looks like.

I guess it's a sign of the times that the video card costs more than the CPU .
I've read that support for socket 754 will end this spring, so I'm bailing out while I can.
With luck the 939 platform will last for a while, allowing me to upgrade only the CPU should I desire.
All this just to hang out in these silly forums.....
