Your System - February 2004

Post your system specs if you've built/bought a new system during the month of February.

If you've changed your system, put "ADDED" next to the new component(s).

If you haven't changed anything - don't post!

There is also a CD burner and a DVD player included. I didn't get speakers or a monitor as I already have some from my currently trashed Alienware.
I was told this afternoon that I should have it in my greedy little hands in about two weeks. I will run some tests and then let people know what results I get.
