What kind of computer is everyone using?

[Farvana]

Gutted Mega 180 case:
AMD 2600+
1 gig Ram
eVGA 6600 LE card (I believe 256Mb video memory)

The case is a small form factor barebones kit; the original power supply was only 225w! The engineers had NO idea about airflow and cooling; the fan on the CPU blows directly onto the video card; there's maybe 9 square inches of space in the bloody thing.

The video card needed more power, so I had to get a PSU that didn't fit in the case; the cover is off, and the power cables snake around the top and sides of the thing. The computer looks like it's being molested.

I've got a spare case, but I'm going to upgrade the motherboard/CPU here in a couple months, so I'm waiting for that before moving the whole setup to something less ugly.

Farvana, if you upgrade tell me, i could sell you a pci e 8800 GFX Card for cheap like 25 bucks

Its a used Palit GeForce 8800 GT Super+1GB Video Card - 1GB DDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support, Video Card

If you want to buy it, Your computer needs to have
* 1GB of system memory
* CD-ROM drive
* 50MB of available hard disk drive space for basic driver installation
* Microsoft Windows XP operating system or higher
* PCI Express-compliant motherboard with one vacant PCI Express x16 slot
* 450W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 30A or more
* A monitor that supports Dual DVI (Dual Link)

It works just an fyi
