A solid 300-watts of SmartPower with ample fans for proper cooling, enclosed in an

attractive Antec SLK2600AMB case with (4) 5-1/4" and (4) 3-1/2" bays.  Next up, the 

Athlon 64 3200+ processor, with an on-die memory controller and 512k L2 cache, coupled with 512MB of fast PC3200 DDR400 memory. All this power makes it's home in a top-quality Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard, feature Gigabit Ethernet, SATA RAID support, 8x AGP, 6 USB 2.0 ports, 5 PCI slots, and IEEE 1394 support.  With the ability to take Gigahertz-class AMD 64 processors and 2GB of RAM, you've got a solid foundation.

   Start with a quality Western Digital 80GB 'Special Edition' hard drive, spinning at 7200rpm with a huge 8MB buffer, and you've got some seriously screaming disc access.  A floppy drive, a quality 16x DVD/48x CD drive, and an awesome Plextor 52x24x52 CD-RW with Burn-Proof technology round out your media options with style.

ATI's bang-for-the-buck champion, the Radeon 9600 XT.  Featuring full DirectX 9 support, enhanced 500MHz core and 600MHz memory clocks, an 4-pixel pipeline, Smoothvision 2.1, Sharpshader 2.1, and a 128-bit interface to it's 128MB of fast DDR memory, the 9600 XT is the clear price-performance gaming choice.  The SoundBlaster Audigy is truly a wonder.  It's features include powerful 5.1 positioning for all your multimedia, DVD, and 3D audio needs, stunning 24-bit/96khz digital-to-analog converters with a 100db signal-to-noise ratio for truly high-definition audio, and 1394/Firewire/DV connectivity for your DV video and firewire peripherals.  Included is a 10/100 NIC card to take advantage of your network or Cable/DSL modems (if a 56k v.90 modem is required, we'll swap it for free).

Why come this far and cheap out on the basics?  The Microsoft Internet Keyboard is very tough with a great feel, and sports 10 programmable hot-keys to make your browsing simple.  The Intellimouse is a bullet...anyone who's used a scroll wheel can't live without it.  Next, you've got a Ratpad Precision Mousing Surface...there's no better place for your mouse to be.  Finally, Creative's Inspire 5200 speaker system.  Comprised of five full satellites and a subwoofer, the Inspire 5300 was designed to help you take full advantage of the 5.1 gaming and DVD environment the SoundBlaster Audigy affords...good stuff.

Windows XP Home Edition is installed, and you'll receive the Full Version Disc and License (plus all the original drivers).  What's really cool is the Drive Recovery System.  If you ever just ruin your operating system (and who hasn't), just follow the simple instructions in the User's Manual, and your system will be restored to it's original pristine state.  And that's the beauty of it...we really torture these systems for you.  That's what we love to do.  We track down every little tweak, all the latest drivers, all those little shareware programs, flash the BIOS...then we grind the machine with a battery of games and creation programs 'till we say it's ready for prime time.  Only then is it ready for you.
