Your System - March 2004

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

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

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

I'm happy w/my current setup but I think I'll get a better CRT soon. I can do my video editing now and it the CPU temp won't get above 50C no matter what I do to it. I can even be playing Call of Duty or UT 2004 on maxium resoution and be doing my virtual dub encoding @ the same time with no lag! =)

DSLESS I suggest you check out tje speakers I have. Best buy always has em on sale and on desplay =) Ask around and check the prices. You can get em cheaper online but they totally punch on the audigy sound card =)
