Now I have a Compaq P4 that's SILENT. My friends are always amazed that my computer is even on. How times have changed.

that is a slick site...I love the heatsinks and orb on the video card

The cases you buy for $80 are pretty cool looking now, just not original. Before you could buy them readily, I cut a tri-angular hole in my case, installed plexi, painted it up, put in a fan with blue and red LEDs, and put in a matching blue and red cathode ray tube.

I still use this case today, might not be as fancy as the new cases, but I made it myself! I had to put in a new power supply when I upgraded due to the additional 12v requirement of new motherboards/CPUs now though.

Are you upgrading your whole computer, or just the case? P4 3.0 should be plenty fast even for the newest games, if you have the right video card.

Yeah im gonna have to agree with Rory on this 3Ghz with 2Gb ram should be doing you fine.
What kind of video card are you running?

2 pci express geforce 7800 GTX's overclocked, SLI of course

i'll upload a pic of my case later on when i hook my digi cam back up.

OMG, and why do you want to upgrade? Those two video cards cost almost as much as my entire computer.

What games are you into? I am really into Day of Defeat Source right now.

ya i'm into day of a defeat source as well but i'm a huge battlefield 2 fan

I can't seem to get into Battlefield 2, I play it on occasion, but enjoy DOD:S better for some reason. Probably because I came from playing a lot of CS, DOD is more similar. That and Battlefield has EA associated with it, I just cant stand that.

I have been a long-time AMD supporter, I am running a 3000+ with 1.5g RAM and a Radeon x800XL. You gotta support the Canadian ATI over the evil Nvidia!

lol, ya i'm no fan of EA either but i really like the game..played the original alot....and about ATI dont even get me going on that...i've had nothing but trouble with any of there cards....:@

I enjoy battlefield 2, but only because it's a lot like quakeworld team fortress, which was the best game ever made

Used to be an nvidia fan, then just switched to ATI to see what it was about...seems to be an alright card. No need to upgrade anytime soon for me. amd xp 3000+, ati 9600xt, 768mb ram :P I suppose I could get a faster video card, but I'm stuck with agp8x..more ram is on the list too

only "mod" on my case is the side left open because I took it off to hook up my usb2.0 hub and I'm too lazy to put it back on.
