7 Dying Trees is an unknown quantity at this point
A work in progress

Well, in progress untill the final few bits arrive (most notably the hard drives...)

Anyway:

AMD Athlon64 x2 4400+
ASUS A8N Premium (SLI yadda yadda, and that really cool heatpipe that gets rid of a fan ) Motherboard
2Gb Corsair 3200 RAM
Nvidia 7800GT 256mb card
Tagan 530W Easycon PSU
Coolermaster Centurion530 case
Some nifty new Akasa fans (2x120mm)

Parts still arriving:
2 x SATA300 200Gb discs
1x Floppy Drive with built in card reader.

Parts to be put in (recycled old bits from the old machine):
DVD writer,
Second graphics card (a crap PCI one, just so I can run a second Monitor that'sa different size...)
Echo Gina24 card for the musical recording thing

oh, and nice shiny lights up in the dark Saitek Eclipse keyboard...

And all black, save the monitors which are a 19" samtron and a 17"phillips

It's happiness inducing

Sounds nice, only thing I would change is to get a Fortron FSP400-60GLN psu.

Re: A work in progress

Well, I've put everything I have together just to make sure it runs, and it looks killer with the black and green (swapped the blue fan out of the coolermaster case and added another fan for the outtake). Keyboard is sweet as well, just wish it could have been backlit in green

Apart from that, the rest of it should arrive on monday, so I get to put the other parts in then, and start installing everything. And play some games, as for the first time ever of owning pc's, i've actually got a good graphics card!

Unfortunately I already bought the PSU, but it's cool, being all black with braided cabling
