My new computer:
Pentium 4 3ghz, 800mhz FSB. Overclocked to 3.6ghz, 933mhz FSB, cooled by a Thermaltake Spark 9 HSF
Asus P4P800 Motherboard
1gb Kingston HyperX DDR4000
4x 120gb drives
Yamaha 24x CDRW
Antec Truepower 430 watt PS

I finally got my computer case cleaned up.

Details:
Lian-Li PC6090 black aluminum case
Lian-Li black aluminum CD drive bezel
Vantec 3.5 4-channel fan controller
Lian-Li / Coolerguys black aluminum rocker switch panel

Got my computer running!

It's um....
FAST!

Tomorrow, my new computer will be functional!

I get paid tomorrow, and my budget allows me to spend ~700 dollars on the processor I require.

Being shipped today:
n additional 512mb of PC2700 DDR RAM. Motherboard already has 512mb of the same in it, so I will have a total of 1gb of super-fast RAM.
An additional rounded IDE cable. My last hard drive doesn't match the speed of another device on the IDE chain, so I need another cable and will utilize a separate IDE channel so I can use the full speed of the drive.
Blacklight cold cathode tube

My progress so far:
I will do some final wire maintenance with zipties once I got my last drive and processor in.

So about 2 months ago, I bought a new computer case: A Lian-Li 6090 Aluminum case. The thing absolutely friggin rocks. It's black aluminum, clear side panel so I can see inside, pretty lights, and I bought a uber-quiet power supply to compliment it.

Cut to 2 hours later: My PC doesn't power up.

Now some background on my main desktop workstation: It was (yeah, was) a Abit KT7A-RAID board with a 1ghz Athalon processor, underclocked to 700mhz for stability. And it was, well, damn stable until recently. The processor fan would make this awful noise (which I believed was the power supply) and it sometimes would refuse to power up because the power supply is nearing 5 years of age.
