I purchased two of these systems, one for me and one for my dad. Built them up and my dad decided to go with a laptop. I just sold the first one, and I am jeleous of my dads Apple Notebook, so I am wanting to trade for a C2D notebook. Or are willing to sell for $2000.00 and I will use the cash to buy a Macbook anyways.
Specs are below. This is my current computer so I would have to wipe it clean first. I am using it right now to post this.
Antec 900 Gaming Case
P5N-Sli Motherboard
Intel 6400 Core 2 Duo Processor
2GB Kingston Ram
Sapphire Radeon X1950XTX, DX9, PCI-E Video Card 512 MB

It runs the CS:S Source Video Stress Test on full settings (1440x900) at 180 FPS (the monitor can only run at 85 fps, 5ms response), so it is rendering the images faster than you can see them. to give you an idea, a base Acer/Sony notebook worth around 2 g's could run the video stress test at around 75fps. Could Run Vista no problem you just need the cd.
As seen below the same set up new would cost $2675.59 , this quote taken off memory express as of March 3, 2007. Plus this one is built. I built this over christmas break from school in 2006 (so its maybe 4 months old)
