This is my project for the summer! My plan is to have it done this summer hopefully.All depends on finances.I currently have the Cooler Master 690 Case,which I bought on going out business sale at Comp USA for $62.00. Also Have Windows Vista Ultimate on hand. Just have to get 1 piece at a time till I get it done.Eventually I,ll get this Baby done, so bear with me. Im looking forward to soon firing this Toy up! So here,s the specs.

Windows Vista Ultimate

Wish ME Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 looks fun

i'd say go for a quad core over a 8400 since you won't be building til the summer... penryns are THEORETICALLY going to be reasonably prices for the lower end models (which you can clock up to 3.6GHZ or so with no probs)...

 that is a nice build though... hope it all works out!

what about this for a moniter

I,ll give that some thought.The E8400 wolfdale is a great Ocer but I can get better results for a price I can afford then I,ll be watching. Im on disability so my funds are hard to come by, but I certainly give it some thought.Always appreciate some input.So far I thing it will be a Great Rig! Gaming and otherwise.

 also these look like a decent keyboard and mouse kinda expensive though

If you are keen on getting 2GB of Corsair Dominator, I have some PC2-6400 (2x1GB) with CAS4 up for sale. Only me and Der have owned them so you KNOW they were taken care of :)

If you are interested check out my F/S thread and let me know

frg1 I like that price on the moniter its about $100.00 less than the one Ive been looking at,also sweet looking keyboard and mouse .Little pricey but sweet!! I save all the links for parts shopping on my desktop in a folder so I can check back for price changes and deals so thanks for the heads up.

 your welcome if theres anything else you need to look up let me know

Well guys My summer project is not working out the way I hope but you got to admit in the first post of this thread the Specs look good on paper! But I got something else planned if everything works out that will do just fine.Im not gng to say till I get things together. But maybe I can retire this OLLLLLLLD Rig!!! Heck I dont think you could classify this as a RIG huh maybe a Paper weight and an ugly one at that.But Im looking forward to it so wish me luck.

Everyone deserves a fast computer, escpecially us enthusiasts.  Good luck on whatever you summer project plans are! 

Heck if I could OC this thing that be something but Compac Psarios or how ever you spell Psarios  didnt come with that option.

What the he__ were they thinking!

 If you wait for the Fall Prices will go down significantly.

 Hows it going?

Well  Its kinda of slow so far I got a couple of pieces but I expected it to be an all summer project!

Good luck man. I know about waiting...it sucks but it makes it soo much better in the end! : )

 You got some components thats good. Good Luck.

 Ok things are slow on my project but got to start somewhere right! So I,ll start with  my case and power supply. The case is a Coolermaster 690 which was used in one of HH giveaways if I recall and myself I think its a great case good options and plenty of room! Besides over a perioud of time the factory looks will change because I,ll have to make it my own so that means some where along the line it will get gutted and  I,ll try to keep it classy and and functional. The PS is a  Coolermaster Real Power Pro 850W (RS-850-EMBA). This is a Big PS with plenty of cables plenty of length and options for upgrades and a big 135mm fan! Thats where my 1st mod comes in mounting the PS in the case no problem but the length of the PS overshhots the cooling vent in the case so its offset approx  half to threequarters over the vent. So the first thing to do is expand the vent opening enough to accomidate it so this big boy doesnt over heat! And then the 2nd mod hiding these ample cables! Thats going to be fun I will be cutting slots in the MB backplate to send the cables out the back to the other side and mount them to the rear of the MB tray.I dont have a camera at this moment to show you what a job thats gng to be but a friend is going to let me borrows his then I,ll post pictures to show you how thats gng to work out ! So all I got now is just picture from Coolermaster of the case and ps!

Cool Cool.

 Yeah I cant remember who won the Rig using this Case but its going to be a project hiding these cables cause their fat!!!But it will look good when Im through!  Here is a couple examples I found:
