No longer my current system:(built over two and a half years ago)

Pentium® 4 @ 1.50GHz w/ 512K L2 Cache

Running @ 400mhz bus, no bottlenecks between the chip, memory, and important devices like the 3D/Video card.

512MB RDRAM

Running @ 800mhz (2x the system bus) enough memory for any video/sound/picture editing you'll be doing, and with the speed of a gazelle.

40GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive

It's enough, allow 2GB for your OS, 2-10GB for Games, 10-20GB for MP3s, movies, etc and 7200RPM will allow the best possible seek time.

19in Sony Trinitron @ .22 dp

It's a flat screen, somewhat heavy, but compared to other VGA flatpanels, it's a much better picture.

See what you'll never see on a console, next generation 3D effects, and with the 3D Glasses you'll feel immersed in the action.

Silver with red glow from around the trackball.

The DVD-RAM of course was just recently added and is not included - I'm asking $1000 (includes $200 for Monitor), and can be customized if you have additional parts of your own.
