Order placed. Parts should arrive by Wednesday.
Trying to decide on a name between "Chiyuki no Youko" and Elsa (for Lanchester, Bride of Frankenstein.)
Most of my comps have been named for Nogi in one way or another since I rolled her, unless it was a shared box with attendant Daggro.
I mostly followed the Tom's guide, but went a little light on the vid card, since the beefier PSU and legally purchased (instead of using the recovery disk from my current system) OS plumped the expenses a little. Fortunately, when I go back later, I can put the card in my Dad's comp.
For the curious:
1 x CPU AMD|ATH II X4 645 3.1G AM3 RT
1 x MEM 4Gx2|MUSHKIN 996770 DDR3 1333
1 x CASE CM|RC-912-KKN1 RT
1 x PSU CM|RS500-PCARA3-US 500W RT
1 x MB ASROCK M3A770DE 770+SB710 RT
1 xVGA ASUS|ENGT440/DI/1GD5 GT440 R
1 x HD 1T|SAMSUNG HD103SI 32M 5K % - OEM
1 x DVD BURNER LITE-ON | IHAS124-04 % - OEM
1 x WIN HOME PREM 7 64-BIT ENG 1PK DSP-OEM
1 x CPU COOL ROSEWILL| RCX-ZAIO-92 R

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
