Default Things to get...

... for my pc before she is all ready...

More RAM... got 128 Megs of DDR 2100 but thats too shabby. Looking at DDR 2700 but the prices are a little too high right now.
Floppy drive... old one won't fit, found a Samsung one for $10
Graphic equalizer... found an external one for $50.

Dammit I gotta pay off this pc next month and then buy more stuff.

Hey atleast my sound problem is gone and I have a sweet ATI Radeon 9000 video card with 128 megs of DDR on it. Need for speed looks bad ass on it, and I just watched Mr. Deeds and it wasn't too shabby either.

I think I am falling in love with my pc...

Old floppy drive... my new case only takes the newer drives. The case already has a floppy drive facia on it, so I need to find a drive that fits there... which is basically any new drive.

That drive is from the 1990's... you are forgetting I salvaged it from my old pc which was a Pentium I... 166 Mhz.

Yep the thingy with knobs and stuff people put on their cars. My pc is going to be my primary entertainment center, hence I need top end stuff for it.
