Core Duo, 8800, 2 gigs of memory(with false advertising by newegg, those scum.).

Never heard of SXX pcs...
 
I wouldn't use micro ATX... I have a full size motherboard inside of this

It is a smaller case but feels pretty roomy inside. The temperatures run a little higher then my previous case (which fell apart after 1 year in a dorm).

Oh crap! where did you get the money!?
 
Desktop: Split 50/50 with my dad
Laptop: Present for high school graduation/college, I paid something like 1/3 of it.
Zyrah: Picked up for 100 dollars or so
Zryia: Paid for monthly via hosting provider (I don't actually own it, I just rent 1/4 of it)
 
Once you start working, you can accumulate alot of money. I had about 3k going into my first year of college... Almost 1k of that has gone into books :\

We have the same video card... ;)

Geforce wasn't my primary choice, I was hoping for a X1900 but my power supply wasn't "efficient".

Also didn't mention, though not a huge difference in PC hardware:

FSP Group FX600 Watt PSU
 
My new computer. This thing has run Bioshock, the Unreal 3 Demo and just about every new game I've thrown at it flawlessly. Waiting for the Crysis demo next week to really test it out.

Vista OS
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
8800 GTS 320mb
2gb ram
500gb hdd

I bet it does. The CPU and Video Card is almost $300 each, pretty cheap...
I had to pay over $500 for my 4GB ram. :(

www.half.com. This semester alone, I saved about $300 on books. The total cost would have been nearly $550, and that's for 10 books. 2 of the books together made up about 60% of the cost.

Did it work?
 
The demo isn't out till I think Friday so I'll find out then. I actually got the system pretty cheap, got a prebuilt system on a big sale with a friends employee discount and the 8800 I purchased with his discount for I think $250. I think total it was around $900 which I'm not sure I could have built it for that cost.
