It's got a bronze-on-black design, very attractive looking.
Quick and dirty:
Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz 2GB RAM 250GB HDD Wireless media remote with storage bay CD/DVD Burner with Lightscribe MS/SD/MMC/XD card reader Touch media controls on the laptop a/b/g Internal WiFi receiver
Cost me $1100 all said and done. Perfect for a user like myself that runs multiple apps at all times. Can handle games with some exceptions. I don't play PC games so I'm fine with what I've got. |

 | reply to dragon been piecing this together for a few months and finally got the CPU/mobo. motherboard and ram are temporary while the next chipsets come out and mature. also waiting for DDR3 to drop in price a little. i'm disappointed that the 780i will be DDR2-only. x1800XT is also temp while i wait for the newest cards around $300 from both companies to come out.

 Wolfie00My dog is an elitistPremium join:2005-03-12 kudos:4 3 edits | reply to dragon eVGA 680i SLI board, RAID, HD 7.1 audio, dual giga Ethernet Intel E6850 Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz with stock cooler Corsair memory, 2 Gb PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL XFX 8800GT video Western Digital 500Gb SATA-II NCQ HDD Pioneer DVR-108D DL DVD burner (from previous computer) Etasis 750W PSU Thermaltake Soprano DX case Windows XP Pro (retail license transfer from previous computer)
While waiting for the parts, I slipstreamed XP SP2 and used nLite to preload the motherboard drivers and burned a new install CD. This made the XP install an easy one-step procedure -- I was really surprised at how smoothly that went.
Running great, surprisingly quiet with the big case fans (120 and 140mm). PSU has 80mm fan but seems low RPM so that's quiet too. Loudest part is the video card. CPU cores running surprisingly cool with the stock HSF (around 45°C). Installed the optional heatsink fan for the 680i chipset. -- "Against stupidity, the very gods themselves contend in vain" -- Friedrich Schiller
