RAIDMAX Virgo "Silence" Mid-Tower Case with 420W Power Supply, Model "811PP"

ASUS "A8V Deluxe" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU

AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor

Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model 6Y120P0, OEM Drive Only

Crucial 184 Pin 1GB DDR PC-3200

XFX nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT Video Card, 128MB GDDR3, 128-Bit, Dual DVI, AGP 8X, Model "PVT43AND" -RETAIL
