Parts for my new build where shipped from newegg yestarday. The goodies arrived today, and the case will be here tomorrow.

AMD Opteron 144 CACJE
2GB G Skill RAM 2.5-3-3-6
EPOX 9NPA3-Ultra mobo
NEC Black DVD Burner
AS5 Thermal Paste

It's my first build since a K6-3 400 (oc'd to 450!) over 5 years ago!

For now I'm going to run it off a PCI (not pci express) geforce 2 mx 400 card :rolleyes: and a IDE 20 gb hard drive for a few weeks till I get another pay check. I could have finished it off now, but I didn't want to bitchslap my bank account too hard.

This is the case I ended up getting.
Plain Case

Some of the goodies.

I can't wait to overclock this :D

I really like the right angle SATA cables this came with.

This all set me back about $550, and add in that the cost of a nice video card ($300) and hard drive ($100) and I think this was quite a deal. Now I've got to wait for the case!

OT: Does anyone know why CPUs still say "Copyright 2001"?

Probably because it's referring to the logo or name or something. Certainly not the processor itself.
