After some in house problems and learning experiences my gaming computer decided to go to the after life so I just ordered a new one. I know alot of you build your own and will give me crap but I went with a DELL and put a 4 year bumper to bumper on it. Here is a list of the basic hardware I put in it without all the software and extras I added.
XPS 700,Intel Pentium D Processor 950 (3.4GHz,800FSB) w/Dual Core Technology and 2MBcache
2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
2x 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX Dual, for Dimension XPS 700
1 NCQ Serial ATA RAID 0 with Dual 160GB Hard Drives
Microsoft Windows XP Professional,Service Pack 2, English
48X Combo and 16X DVD+/-RW
X-Fi PCI Sound Card
Ageia PhysX Processor
And I made sure it had their best power supply, it has a 1 KW rating. It comes in a full size case unlike my HP and they guaranteed me no problems with cooling. I spent alot of extra time on the phone and in chat with them before I ordered. Thanks Deathcorpse on the Physics Accelerator lesson last night I went back and added it as you see.

I also have to say thanks to Hypnos, because of his Alienware problems I stayed away from them. They were my first choice for my next computer until his issues happened.
