1. M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
2. e-GeForce 7600 GTS Video Card
3. Enermax EG565P-VE 535W PSU w/ bling**
4. Athalon 4200+ X2 Dual Core CPU
5. Creative I/O 4 Port 3.5" USB Hub Bay
6.* OCZ OCZ2G8002GK 2G DDR-800 RAM (see below)
7. Glass bowl for nonstop to drool into.

* The board would not boot at all with the OCZ RAM. The best I could do was get to the splash screen. OCZ memory has been RMA's and I'm currently waiting on replacement Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400C4.

** For some reason the enermax PSU came with a bag and lanyard like you'd find at a trade show. Not complaining.

Also waiting on 2 250G SATA drives that came up on http://www.woot.com

I borrowed some DDR2-533 RAM from a work PC, and was able to get windows XP installed onto an old 40G PATA drive, so I'm fairly confident that the rest of the parts will work, once I get the RAM replaced.

If i'm not online at practice it's because I'm in the hospital getting my grin removed.
