 | ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
This is my rig's motherboard.
A friend convinced me the P45 chipset was superior to the eVGA nForce board I had set my own upon. This is my second ASUS board that I've used in a build and as usual, it is rock solid and stable.

 | Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 3 GHz 1333MHz 6 MB LGA775 CPU BX80570E8400
Buy new: $167.99 / Used from: $130.00 My rig's CPU.
Wish I had gone with a quad-core, but this is good enough for most of my computing tasks.

 | Corsair XMS2 4 GB (2 X 2 GB) PC2-6400 800 MHz 240-PIN DDR2 Dual-Channel Memory Kit - TWIN2X4096-6400C5
Buy new: $92.99 / Used from: $74.99 My current 4 GB pair of RAM (exact model).
|
 | EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR e-GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB DDR3 Superclocked Edition PCI-Express Graphics Card
My 8800GT SC from eVGA. Lovely card that has a 50 MHz increase on its GPU core over the usual 8800GT cards.
|
 | Seagate Barracuda ST3320620AS, 7200.10 - Hard drive - 320 GB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 16 MB
Unfortunately, Amazon does not carry the latest 7200.11, so this is the previous version of my current hard drive.
|
 | Corsair CMPSU-520HX 520-Watt HX Professional Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply compatible with Core i7 and Core i5
Buy used from: $82.99 My rig's PSU. Built by Seasonic for Corsair. One of the best PSUs on the market. Reliable, stable voltages, and efficient.
|
 | Samsung SH-S203N 20x DVD±RW DL SATA Drive (Black)
I have a Lite-On SATA DVD-ROM. This Samsung is the closest to my Lite-On drive since Amazon doesn't carry a listing for my particular optical drive.
|
 | Lite-On SATA 20x Super All Write LightScribe Internal DVD/Dual Layer RW Drive (LH20A1L06)
My Lite-On DVD Burner. This is my fourth Lite-On drive. Reliable if noisy (on spin up).
|
 | Zalman ZM-MFC1 6-Channel Fan controller for 5.25" Bay
Buy new: $34.99 I have the MFC1 Plus B (black) version of this fan controller.
|
 | Masscool 120mm Fan
Since Amazon does not carry the ball-bearing version of this Masscool case fan, this is the closest to the four that I have in my case.
|
 | Antec P182 Advanced Super Mid Tower ATX Case (Black/Stainless Steel Trim)
Buy used from: $115.00 I have the Antec P180B (discontinued). This P182 is the current iteration of the Performance One series computer midtower case. There aren't many difference between the P180B and P182. The most notable difference is the dark gray aluminum exterior (P182) rather than a black plastic exterior (P180B).
|
 | Samsung 931B 19" Analog/Digital LCD Monitor
This is my current Samsung LCD monitor that I bought at BestBuy for approximately $230 some 2.5 years ago.
|
 | Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System (Black)
Buy new: $93.53 / Used from: $41.99 This is the current version of my 4+ year old Logitech X-540 5.1 speaker set.
Mines has a cloth satelite mesh rather than a metal mesh. My center speaker does not clip to the top of a LCD monitor like this current version does.
|
 | Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 (B2L-00002)
Buy new: $17.27 / Used from: $9.80 This is my current keyboard which is going on 1.5 years. The up and down volume buttons are partially faded to black and several keys have had their lettering rubbed off due to extensive use (and my not so clean hands on some days).
|
 | Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $28.99 My current gaming and general use laser mouse.
|
 | SteelSeries QcK Mini Mouse Pad (Black)
Buy new: $12.32 My current mousepad which I bought to replace a aging Belkin Gel Wristpad (see my review for more info).
|
 | Belkin F8E244-BLK WaveRest Gel Wrist Pad
Buy new: $9.98 I have a Xtrac gel wrist pad not a Belkin, but this is the closest to what mines looks like.
|
 | Logitech Desktop Microphone (980240-0403)
I'm shocked...Amazon has this old analog microphone listed.
This is my current microphone. It's the analog predecessor of their current USB microphone, but with a unweighted stand and the a on/off switch on the boom rather than a mute button on the stand.
|
 | Sennheiser HD201 Headphones
Buy new: $17.39 / Used from: $18.00 This is my current headphones that I use with my rig in conjunction with my Logitech microphone.
|
 | Western Digital My Book Studio 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive WDH1Q5000N
Buy used from: $99.99 I have the black version, not this white one. Amazon doesn't have the black one listed apparently.
|
 | Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse
Buy used from: $79.99 My old G7 which I still have.
|
 | Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Buy new: $38.99 / Used from: $35.98 I have the wired version of this controller which I got off of TigerDirect for about $10 less.
I bought it so I could play GTA IV with it. Definitely my worst purchase to date. I rarely if ever use this controller since the keyboard and mouse for driving is several times better and offers me better control.
