This is my first build, not a super computer in any way since i'm not made of money, anyhow i've been lurking here for a few months, and since then i've built this computer and figured i'd show it off...

Specs:
AMD Athlon64 3500+
1gb OCZ DDR400 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146969) (soon getting another stick so i can get some sweet dual channel action going on
Gigabyte socket 939 AGP mobo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128286)
ATI Radeon X700 pro (reason it's an AGP mobo)
2 crappy harddrives
Aspire Case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144172)
and some miscellaneous fans...and one very overused biohazard grill

heres some pics now

my sweet custom fan/light controler, the only real mod i'd done to it so far, other than replacing the stock fans

those wires don't seem to stand out as much when you're looking at it in person, and yes that is a stock heatsink :eek:

Looks cool, keep it up! You have lots of room to experiment there.

what do the 2 switches do? are they just power for the case?

one of them is for the lights on the front and the other is for my 3 80mm fans. Required if you want to sleep in the same room as this thing

thanks for the comments
