	I'm seeing about replacing my P4 system with a better, more well-planned AMD system this summer and winter hopefully. Here's what I picked out from tigerdirect.ca: : AMD Athlon 3200+ w/Barton core - $255.99 - TigerDirect http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=586899&sku=CP2-XP32004BC : Thermaltake Extreme Volcano 12 Processor Fan - $49.99 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=184408&sku=T925-1064 : Ultra Silver Thermal Compound (1.0g) - $1.99 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=509953&Sku=E83-1002%20P&Cat Id=503 : ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe - $177.99 - TigerDirect http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=25208&sku=A455-2032%20E : DiabloTek Black Demon ATX Mid-Tower Case - $70.99 -7 expansion slots -4x Front USB, 2x front audio (mic, spk) -5x 80mm fan ports, 1x 120mm fan port, 3x 80mm LED fans incl. -No PSU -Steel http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=541440&Sku=D15-1002 Ok. I need to pick out still: A good 480W PSU w/SATA supp., DDR RAM, a good 120GB or so SATA HD, a cheap ass Floppy drive, a good CDR/CD-RW drive, a good but not too fancy video card ( thinking Radeon 9600XT 256MB ). That should do it. I'm not too worried about the sound card but if you can find a good one, tell me. From what I've picked so far, what do you think? Maybe a different case? I wasn't too sure about this one, I just went with the general concensus on it. BTW, I will ONLY be shopping at stores with Canadian prices and who accept Paypal... so that pretty much narrows it down to tigerdirect or Ebay (which I really don't want to use). EDIT1: Added more stuff (hs/fan, thermal paste) [last edit 6/13/2004 9:08 PM by Stewie - edited 1 times]

	Because I do not have a credit card and money orders take too long.

	is there anyway you can get a case like that without the red? I had a case like that, with blue LED fans and when it was on it looked really bad

	Hehe thats a pretty old plan. I'm not doing that anymore. I got a new motherboard for my P4 system, I'm gonna keep going with that instead.

	keep going with what? integrated audio? It may be an old plan but it's worked for me. [last edit 8/27/2004 5:15 AM by Louie - edited 2 times]

	Gonna keep going with the Intel system instead of getting a new AMD system... I'm also not getting a sound card. I don't really need one, the onboard stuff with my P4P800 SE sounds good to me.
