Signature Suspended as it is in violation with the signature rules

I built this one from scratch -- I call it the 'Ice Dragon' because it is
a blue case w/ window & blue led fans, 2 blue cold cathode lights and a
Dragon sticker on the window

CPU: AMD 2100+ -- OC to 3200+ speeds (2300 MHz)
Motherboard: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Dual DDR400 w/ Dolby sound, LAN & Firewire, + SATA support -- FSB OC to 220MHz !
RAM: GEIL 1024MB PC-3500 DDR433 -- running 2 x 512 in Dual Channel mode
Hard Drives: 2 Maxtor 120GBs 7200 w/ 8MB cache, 133MHz
CD/RW: Lite-On 52x32x52
DVD+R/RW: NEC 4X burner
DVD Drive - SLOT Load Pioneer 16X
Case: CHIEFTEC Server Aluminum Workstation Tower (with front door) Blue w/ acrylic window - 450W PSU
Video Card: MSI 128MB 8X AGP GeForce Ti 4200 -- OC to 310/621
Monitor: 19 in. CRT
Printer: Compaq color inkjet IJ1200
Scanner: HP Scanjet - 2400 x 2400 dpi
ATA controller card -- SIIG PCI 133 2 Channel - controls up to 4 devices
Case Fans (not counting CPU, vid, etc.) - 5 CoolerMaster Blue Neon L.E.D. 80mm
Lights- 2 Thermaltake BLUE Cold Cathode Fluorescence Lamp (CCFL)
Sticker - silver Chinese Dragon on the window
OS - XP Pro

Since I had 2 HDs and 2 optical drives hooked up the IDE channels were all full on the MB. I wanted to add the CD-RW so I got the ATA controller card to run that. The good thing is that I can add another optical drive and 2 more HDs if I want to expand later.

Also, in my opinion the most important thing for a PC is stability. If you have a P4 3.2 that is buggy & crashes then it is useless. I was able to OC this system and got 14,485 on 3D Mark 2001 SE - I am very happy with that. Also, it runs solid as a rock and I can actually multi-task on this thing.

I have actually been ripping to the HD with the slot DVD, running Shrink, Burning a DVD w/ the RW and using Photoshop! None of it crashed and the speeds were (not flying, but) acceptable.

I will try and post some pictures soon.
