The Computer you'd love to acquire were cash no obstacle

I'm pretty happy with my PC, even though it set me back quite a bit

. I'll post the system build here again for reference:

Case: ThermalTake Tai Chi
Power supply: Antec Neo HE 550 EC
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 206BW
Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser mouse (not wireless)
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Azerty BE lay-out
Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AM2: Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Heatsink: ThermalRight SI-97A
Fan: Papst 3412 N/2GL
Graphics: MSI GeForce NX7600GT
RAM: Corsair 2GB TWIN2X2048-6400
DVD-writer: Plextor PX-760A
Internal hard disk: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB S-ATA II
External hard disk: Freecom FHD-2 Pro 60GB

Latest addition has been the monitor, which I bought for my birthday and I haven't regretted it yet. I must say I've waited a looooooooong time for TFT technology to get up to speed with CRT's and I'm happy with the results so far

. I'll probably swap in the graphic card for a Direct X 10 card next, though. I bought the case and graphics card about a year ago in light of getting an SLI setup, when there was no mention of Direct X 10 yet or even Vista - total bummer in retrospect

. Running Vista Home Premium on my system ATM without any problems so far, BTW. Temps and noise are very reasonable too (currently 43°C CPU, 32° ambient and 43° GPU on idle; around 45° when running games)

I switched to Linux earlier this year, and once I get my (already ordered) "Cedega" Version I'm going to try out my old Windows Games (Like BG II) under Linux....

If that works, my Microsoft days are over...

No worries, I'll keep you informed...
