    This is a BAD picture (camera) but shows the brightness of the LED lights (all the other pics have the flash on, which in turn makes the lights seem dimmer), also, its really big, so ill just give a link to it.

    lol, i took off all the 'twisty ties' from the power cords and thru em away, good luck with me organizing that.

    Can't wait for my new video card, then i get to use the dell (bot left of my computer 'work station') for a deticated web server/any server. Shame it didnt come with an integrated video card like my new motherboard. but w/e, should be getting like new vid card sometime this year ;)

    Now that's ----ed up, gotta have at least a P3 :D naw man, you can go ahead and buy any ordinary P4 2.4Ghz for like $120, pretty cheap; or easily just get a sempron.

    And Windows 98?!? ---- man, please tell me it's SE, SE > XP :P :lol:
