aspire x qpack

Apr 26, 2005 7:48AM PDT

I just bought a gateway 820gm on jan 3rd 05 and am looking at building a new sff pc. I want something able to be modded and upgraded over the years and have windows and lights put inside of it. i like the aspire x qpack because its appearance is great and it has 3 windows.

Would this be a good setup?
aspire x qpack
MSI RS480M2-IL
AMD 64 3500
geil value ram 512 x 2
seagate 80 gig sata or maybe try a raptor hehe
cd dvd combo drive
video card, prob be a ATI X800XL

w/o video card, its is farely cheap, i wuld use this for gaming so the case would be important aspect and for cooling it. my gateway has btx with 2 120mm fans so it is farely quiet. i upgraded the psu to an antec true 480 because i was planning on buying the new ati x800xl.

also, i dunno if i can buy this since i just bought the computer, but is there anyway i can easily sell this comp or possibly "kill it" lol

thanks
