You don't have any 1394's? I really like Aleinware's cases by the way. Yours is really cool. Unfortunetly, I can't find a tower that's really cool looking and functional. There's this one at CompUSA that's just solid black with a giant vent on the front if there's no drives there. It also has a USB or two plus audio inputs on the top. Man that'd rock. I think I'm gonna buy it. I also want a new board, so that i can friggin swap out my graphics and sound card. I can't even run Vista (looks like we're in the same boat... though yours probably isn't embedded). I think that AGP is becoming obsolete because the new cards seem to be PCI express. Oh yeah, and I almost bought a working TV tuner the other day, but it didn't have a video AND audio input (composite), just video. I hate CPU's though... all the pins are different so you can't upgrade it without buying a new board. Oh, Austen, they have Core 2 Duo's... yeah... and Core 2 Extremes... but do you think that I could buy two Core 2 Extremes and be able to use them with a Core 2 duo board? That'd be awsome. They go up to almost 5 GHz as far as I've seen... EDIT: Since we're into pictures... Here's the hole in the wall I sit in every day. In case you're wondering, Wario World is burned on that disc on the left. The inside of my computer... And the front.

And according to the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, I can run Vista Ultimate. I'm going to post a load of pictures in a few minutes.

Is your case a full tower...? I think we have the same motherboard. Or... they're very similar.
And Vista requires a 256 MB graphics card. Or actually I may be wrong. It think I read that it can reach 64-bits but of you have a 32-bit it'll work fine.

Yeah, it's a full tower. And here are the only issues I have with Vista Ultimate:

Well... expect it to be 2 GB tomorrow.
