    MOBO - Msi NEO Platinum
    CPU - 3.2GHz Intel with HT
    CPU COOLER - Blue Orb II
    RAM - 1GB of PQI turbo DDR2 (667)
    VIDEO CARD - X1600PRO 512DDR2...want to get an X1800XT soon
    SOUND CARD - CReative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
    HD - 80GB Maxtor
    PSU - 600W Aspire

    Now that we have eye candy - Its a nice rig.
    Goes well with the rest of your setup.
    Might want to sleeve and organize the cabling a little.

    pretty nice, although i would recommend an nvidia video card - they tend to be just as powerfull, and have much better drivers.

    no offense but you're going what? Crossfire is ATI and yes, the X1800XT is ATI, guess that was just a typo? lol

    Anyways system looks good! I'm not a fan of Intel, but I like ATI and now with the Xpress 3200 chipset crossfire is becoming more worth it!

    ok heres what i think.

    the blue orb is a good cooler, i like that. the neo platinum is one of MSI's higher end boards, so thats pretty good. too bad for the intel deal, but i get the feeling you'll have a new setup soon and it wont matter. never heard of PAIU, but 1gig of ram is good. video card and PSU are alright. the hard drive is an area of concern, because rumour has it that maxtor hard drives have a habit of kicking out after about a year. my friend had a maxtor drive that did just that. and the sound card is old news now, x-fi is the latest buzz. overall though, its good.

    now, the actual appearance is kind of interesting. it reminds me of an alienware case. just get those stickers off the front, they're ugly and they keep making me think about tuner cars and all their decals and stickers and ugliness. the cables are kind of cluttery, but i dont care too much about those, i only really noticed them as an after-effect.

    another thing. my god your workspace is cramped.

    anyways, good build for a first attempt. dont take the critique the wrong way. im just putting it down as i see it because i cant think of a way to sugar coat it.
