People who put neon lights and windows in their cases are to the fullest.
Meh. Opinions are like assholes, right. I think it looks pretty badass myself.

I get your point. I was just curious as to what you had

P4 2.53GHz is not bad. I wouldn't call it badass but I'm sure that puts you at the top 10% of everyone on HAN

XP is decent in comparison to 2k, might consider that...its a little clunky, but 2k is a bit resource intensive...i would say moreso then xp, but im not sure, they're likely equal and im making things up.

btw, heres my XP1600 with 512 of 2700 DDR and a 400w Antec, also 100g 7200RPM hdd, CDRW, DVD-R, and geForce 4 vid card

I mean the lighting looks badass. I know the 3.06 GHZ is out now, but it's like $1000 cdn. My board will support it, so maybe in a few years when the price drops I'll pick one up. As far as top 10% of HAN... from home I'm still only 56k, so I don't even bother trying to get on here; guess that drops me down a few rungs, eh?!

I just upgraded from a Pentium Pro 200. Sloooooow. I was running 98'. Tyan board was so old it wouldn't recognize any HD over 8G. Guess they figured 8G would be all you would ever need.
