So my Dad needed a new computer and I felt like doing something somewhat cool. He was using the Compaq Presario 6000 that I bought in 2000 for college stuff. Basically an Athlon XP, 768mb RAM, and it is slow.
His new system is:
3.55 GHz Q9450
8GB of Patriot Xtreme 1066 [email protected] 5-5-5-12
EP45-UD3P
3xWD Blue 160GB HDD's in RAID 0
1x WD 640GB Green for Back up
Gigabyte HD4350 (Couldn't talk him into a 5870

)
Samsung DVD Burner
Antec 300
Antec TruePower 550w
Cooler Master 212 HSF Push/Pull ([email protected], WAY under-rated!)
What the Case used to look like.

Wish I took more pics of the build process, but, the whole thing was done in about 10 Hours minus a lot a drying time.
The wife made the Navy Logo stencil for me FREEHAND and deserves a big high five
