* Aspire X-Qpack case black/silver with 420w power supply
* AMD Athlon64 3200+ socket 939 Venice '2F' stepping/family overclocked to 3800+
* Biostar Tforce 6100 socket 939, Nforce 4 chipset
* 256 mb Sapphire X800 GT PCI-E video card modded and overclocked to X850 Pro
* 2 gb of PC3200 DDR Cas 2.5 consisting of:
2 x 512 mb Kingmax SuperRAM, dual channel kit w/heatspreader
2 x 512 mb Geil dual channel kit w/heatspreder
* Western Digital 200 gb HDD, 7200 rpm, 8 mb cache, SATA
* Panasonic 1.44 mb Floppy
* NEC ND3520A 16x16 DVD writer (black)
* Samsung TS-H552U 16x16 DVD writer (black)
* Cold cathode

CPU is overclocked to 240 x 10 = 2400 mhz, running a modest 1.5 volts (stock is 1.4 volts). This is the same clock speed as the Athlon64 3800+ and the overclock is Prime95 stable (tested for over 24 hours).

GPU is has been hard modded to 12 pipelines, up from 8. Core and memory can be safely overclocked to 506 mhz and 1040 mhz, up from 472 mhz and 980 mhz and I plan on hard flashing the BIOS of the GPU to these speeds. This effectively makes this card a Radeon x850 Pro but without the Rage theatre chip. The 4 previously locked pipelines are undamaged and ATI Tool shows the card to be free of artifacts at the overclocked speeds. In fact, there is more headroom in the GPU and RAM for those who want to push it further.

Above is a link of benchmarks so you can see how the 850 Pro compares to other cards.

The Biostar motherboard is an awesome overclocking board with settings for CPU voltage, multiplier adjust, HyperTransport speed, RAM voltage, and chipset voltage. All of this in a Micro-ATX board! This motherboard also sports an onboard Nvidia video card in additon to onboard Audio and an onboard network card.

SOLD!!

If someone wants this system with just the onboard video, I will take $200 off the asking price and sell the card separately for $200 as long as I can find a buyer for the system.

Included is a quote for MemEx using similar components. The MemEx quote uses plain RAM, as well as a motherboard that does not support overclocking and uses an ATi chipset vs. the Nvidia chipset of the Biostar. The quote does have a better DVD burner, ND-3540 vs 3520 but as far as I'm aware, both writers are 16x16.
