2.56GHz P4
512Mb DDR (upgrading to 1Gb next summer)
40Gb + 120Gb HDDs (120Gb is the same WD one as yours)
GeForce 4 64Mb
Cheap Firewire card and sound card
DVD-RW drive
Photoshop 7.0
Premiere 6.5
After Effects being added next summer

That system is in my parents' house though - they wouldn't let me take it with me to my new apartment. I got an athlon 1300+, motherboard, 20Gb HDD and case for £20
(UK) and a CD-RW drive for another £10 from guys at college, and 256Mb DDR for £30 on eBay. It won't run Premiere but Photoshop should be cool on it.

to those who are building computer right now: SATA is a fucking nightmere! You need all sorts of retarded drivers for somethign that should work right out of the box. Sure it's fast, but i dont really know if it's worth the hassle and extra price right now.

Serial ATA came with the motherboard I wanted, which I got a big deal on. I needed a fast fucking board with good onboard audio. So I got the Asus A7N8X Deluxe. I agree to a certain extent with Yeti, its not really worth the extra price tag but if you're the guy who needs everything top of the line, it does make things faster.

the a7n8x deluxe is a pimp board for sure. soundstorm kicks some serious ass.

I had that board but then sold it cuz i wasn't ready to build a new system.
