1)Take a former office (Optiplex GX150 it was 100 bucks on Ebay)
2)Add all the freaking memory you got laying around (512 MBs I gutted a old PC)
3)Add a little 802.11G Wifi card (It was 12 buck on Ebay)
4)Toss in a DVD burner (There 50 Bucks on newegg.com)
5)Add a small dash on 80 GBs of hard drive (Compusa has them on sale for 50 bucks plus rebate)
6)Oh dont forget to dress it up with your favorite flavor of OS, my favorite is SUSE but you can always use WINDOWS XP
And thats what it takes to make a kick ass pc, oh wait forgot to say BAM ADD A LITTLE SPICY TO THAT
