New Gateway Desktop 5228

250 gigabyte SATA 7200 RPM hard drive
2 gigabytes 533 mhz dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM
AMD Athlon X2 2.21 ghz dual-core processor
FIC K2BC51 Motherboard with NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Chipset
9-in-1 Media Card Reader
Lite-On 16X Double-Layer Multi-Format DVD/R/RW/CD-R/W Drive.

I really wanted to have a built computer, but I am really a novice about putting together a computer, but this had the specs I was looking for before I found this.

Unfortunately, this has a 300w power supply and its hard to find a decent video card (mobo has a open pci-e slot)that I want to add later.

Posting changes only to my system (since my December 2005
post):

Removed: Antec TruePower430. It died on me about 2 weeks
ago. Replaced at first with a Smartpower 2.0 PSU by the
same MFR, but I took it out after reading the topic on Antec
power supplies. Replaced with a ThermalTake PurePower 600.

Added: Hauppauge WinTV 250 PVR card.
