My Not-So-Amazing PC, but I still love it
I originally got this PC from a friend who was going to dump it, but I saved since I didn't have a PC (I'm a Mac user, being using them for 15 years. I'm 18 now.) and I want a gaming PC. I was a really outdated rig. Over the past 2 months I got some new parts and made myself a decent gaming PC that does exactly what I want it to do, in total it cost me $470 to fix up/totally replace everything. I guess this qualifies as my first build. Pics are low quality since I used my iPhone to take them.
original specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHZ
Asus P5BW-LA
2GB Crucial DDR2 533mhz RAM
ATI x1300 256MB GDDR2
no PSU
no hard drive
(pics of this rig were taken after I got a PSU and hard drive)
the new specs are in my sig.

Yea, I'm still working on the cables. I may have to make a modification to the case to hide those ugly cables.
I plan on OC'ing in a month when I have time to do it correctly.

I just fixed up the cables, not much I can do since the cable are pretty short. the air flow is much better and my temps went down a little. now it's time to OC!!!
