Main rig:

MSI KT3 Ultra (KT333CE) w/ onboard sound
AMD AthlonXP 1600+ AGOIA @ 1.87GHz (10x187), 2.00v
256MB PC2700 Samsung -CTL RAM @ most aggressive timings
ATi Radeon8500 @ 290/310 (10,250 3dmark2001se)
Western Digital 15.3GB ATA66 7200RPM
12x8x32x Sony CD-RW (CRX160e)
L&G 350w PSU (AWESOME PSU for only $20)
WindowsXP SP1

Secondary rig:

Abit BE6-II rev1.0 (HPT366)
Intel Celeron 566@1003 (being parted out)
256MB PC150/166 CL2
nVidia Rage128ZX 4mb AGP
Western Digital 1.6GB
16x/40x LiteOn DVD player (was in main rig, needed CDROM)
Cheap 300w PSU
Linux Mandrake 8.2 (Mandrake9 on CD's..just need new HDD)

NEW MAIN RIG: (eta 10/28/2002)

EPoX 4G4A+
Intel Pentium 4 1.8A or 2.4B (ordered both, whichever I prefer)
256MB PC2700 Samsung -CTL from current rig
ATi Radeon8500 @ 290/310 from current rig
Western Digital 15.3GB (will be 80gb WDSE 8MB eventually)
12x8x32x Sony CD-RW from current rig
350w L&G PSU
WindowsXP SP1

Current main rig is being slightly parted out and sold, along with parts of my secondary system to pay for the new main rig. Sold dead Celatin 1.1A that used to be in the BE6 til I killed it. Now have 566 @ 1003, but is selling on eBay. I will get another 1.1A eventually to get that system running again. Need new video card for second system and for my dad's system also.

Ought to be good for reviewing though now that I'll have both a P4 and AthlonXP, as well as having DDR RAM. Should be able to provide you guys with some good reviews once I get my system setup and get back in contact with companies!

Might as well update my system on here since I've actually come back. Should have reviews on Abit BG7E, Abit Ti4200-8X 128MB OTES, and Leadtek Ti4400 128MB soon enough! :)

12x8x32x Sony CD-RW (CRX160e)
L&G 350w PSU (AWESOME PSU for only $20)
WindowsXP SP1

Secondary rig:

Abit BX133-RAID (HPT370 ATA100 RAID)

Western Digital 2.1GB (hopefully a 10GB soon enough)
16x/40x LiteOn DVD player (was in main rig)
Enlight 250w PSU

K6-3-350@350, 2.0v on FIC VA-503+ (1MB L3 cache) with 128MB EDO 72pin SIMMs @ 100MHz :eek:, Voodoo3 3000 PCI, WD 1.6GB, 52x Creative CD-ROM, AST 150w AT PSU running Win98SE...all in an old AST Bravo/66d proprietary case ;)

K6-2-500@550 (maybe soon K6-3+), 2.4v on Gigabyte GA-5AX (512kB L2 cache) with 192MB PC133, Voodoo3 3000 AGP, no hard drive, 52x Creative CD-ROM, generic 250w ATX PSU running no OS....all on my floor waiting to be put into a case and paired with a hard drive.

Server...
P166MMX@200 on a Gateway P5-133 OEM board (Intel Advanced/ATX Motherboard) with 128MB EDO 72pin SIMMs @ 66MHz, 1MB PCI video card, Maxtor 2.1GB for system disk & Seagate 4.3GB for "fileserver" disk (full! :eek: ), Gateway 140w ATX PSU, and Win2k Server SP3
