Well crap, that's way better than my old P4-1.5G with 512K of RAM which is in desperate need of an upgrade. If your looking to donate you cast offs....

What are you looking at changing? I've done my share from cutting big holes for fans, windows, lights, painting, watercooling, etc.

Last updated in 2002, hah!

Now I have a Compaq P4 that's SILENT. My friends are always amazed that my computer is even on. How times have changed.

The cases you buy for $80 are pretty cool looking now, just not original. Before you could buy them readily, I cut a tri-angular hole in my case, installed plexi, painted it up, put in a fan with blue and red LEDs, and put in a matching blue and red cathode ray tube.

I still use this case today, might not be as fancy as the new cases, but I made it myself! I had to put in a new power supply when I upgraded due to the additional 12v requirement of new motherboards/CPUs now though.

Are you upgrading your whole computer, or just the case? P4 3.0 should be plenty fast even for the newest games, if you have the right video card.
