So here I am posting from my first ever secondary computer. Just made it from scrap parts I have laying around. It's only good for web browsing and e-mail pretty much, but hey, that's ok right! Anyways, specs are:

Mobo - Asus P4P800-X
CPU - Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz (socket 478)
Memory - 4x512mb DDR 400 I believe
GPU - Radeon 9800 GS 256MB
PSU - 500W, don't know brand.
HDD - 20GB Quantum IDE
Optical - Old HP cd burner, no dvd
Case - Some old white case made by Asus, probably from 1995, lol
Monitor - Big, heavy, CRT (facepalms)

Anyhow, just thought I'd share. I've never actually had 2 computers at once, so it's kind of cool. Only thing is this HDD is 20GB, lol, and I have 13gb free space. O well.

I'll post pics of my setup in a minute.

Still more powerful than my rig... (not my sig rig) My computer is getting a thrashing from all the other builds I look at. I use a CRT for the one I use now... A fricking 15". Very embarassing.

I already got a 19" LCD Acer which is awesome but I'm using it to game with my PS3 until my sig rig parts are all present and ready.

More powerful then your second computer?

Lockedge

No my sig rig isn't created yet, haven't got all the parts yet. Your secondary computer is more powerful than the one I am using right now to type this message. Sorry to confuse.

It's cool man. Also, your system will be kick ass when you get it. Your video card will also be better then my main, lol. I want a 4870.

Updated with pics.

Yeah, the graph card is actually more expensive than all of the other parts I ordered. $200 but I'm gonna pay it easy because I got a huge paycheck waiting for me early feb.

Also in the first pic, to the far left is that another HP pavillion monitor? I can't see the front but I think it looks a EXACTLY like mine. It's a remnant from my very first PC an HP (Intel, 5GB HDD, 64MB Ram, and frickin Celeron processor.)

Only flaw with the small for factor and the OCZ reaper was I had to remove the copper heat pipes, LOL

Yea man, that other monitor is my old HP monitor from my Pavilion, probably 7-8 years old. Color's all messed up, so I got a new one.
