Needs a video card tho(Intergrated).

HP
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
512 MB DDR RAm
80 gig hard drive
48x Cd-rw/16 Dvd-rom
8x Open AGP slot

for $750 Cdn. Very Cheap.
 
Very nice comp. Looks like u're going to do alot of pwnage.
I got mine for 600$ but the only thing different was it was a P4 1.8, with a Nividia G4 128MB card, and no cdrw I got it seperate. And i have the intigrated sound card.
But yours looks like a great gaming mach.
 
I was looking for one with a GeForce 4 like yours, JoBlow, no biggy. I can buy one and install it myself.

I forgot! I have to install everything I had on my last PC, aww...

Where you get TeamSpeak?  Umm...yeah...
 
congrats corp

Teamspeak and ventrilo are very nice for some good voice chat during/out of games. Its thanks to Hescominsoon for setting it up. (my help doesn't count since its him who did all the tweaking)

Go for ATI Radeon stuffs corpfox. I personally own a Radeon 9600 XT it's relatively cheap, and great quality.

Here are my specs
Core: Intel P4 2.4 (core is 2.0, i got it up to 2.4

Graphics:ATI Radeon 9600 XT

Sound:Creative SB Audigy Gamer
Creative SBS270 twoset satellite speaker
Sennheiser PC150 headset

actually urs is way better than mine mine is 2600+ and u have 2x more ram and gig, nice comp hope u enjoy, make sure u get new card though integrated one on my sucks
 
2600+ isn't that much of a difference. If you guys have Barton core theres a way to Overclock upto 3200+ with a new heatsink. But i think i'll stick to intel for now.
 
The PC is really great, really.

I'm stunned when it loaded and joined the CS and DoD server in 10 secs!
wow.gif
Unlike my other PC......15 mins, then time-out, then another 15 mins...

But yeah, I do need a video card & sound card...

I noticed like in Counter-Strike & FreeLancer, when firing the guns/weapons, it skipped a lot. Voice, background sounds is great. Graphics are at 75%(Meter 3/4 to max graphics), which is high for a intergrated card.  And of course, I NEED BRIGHTNESS!

I'm perfectly blind when its dark such as Dust map tunnels, other tunnels, or very small passages.

In due time, I'll get the video and sound cards.
 
cool. I recommend my Radeon 9600 XT for performance, quality, and relatively cheap price too (for this performance booyah~)
 
The 9600 series is defintley great for the price I picked my 9600 Pro up almost a year ago for $180 and it runs most everything I can throw at it at max except FarCry.
I think im gonna be on the look out for a x800 or 6800 series card I have seen them a few times as low as $250 for the mid range model and its way out performs the 9800xt.

Edit: Looking through a few forums I found some nice cards for great prices.
6800 + Farcry $280

6800 GT $340
 
im gonna try n get a radeon 9200 for $64 just need to get the cash
 
I dunno if I ever mentioned my new laptop to anyone seeing as I was busy enough to not see the internet when I first got it. And I like bragging about it too.

Heh I have coworkers that get in their vans and drive around roaming for open connections. Around here if you live an apartment someone has forgot to change the default password or even put a password in and you turn your computer on and automaticlly have broadband without doing anything.
