I've had my desktop for around 4 1/2 years. It originally came with a nvidia FX5200 graphics card, 512 MB RAM, 40gb HD, some motherboard I can't recall the name of, a 400w PSU, XP Home, and a P4 2.8ghz proc, with the "HT technology" as the rep put it. Since I bought it, I upgraded the graphics to an X700 pro (AGP :D) and added a gig of RAM.
 
Heres mine:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 3.4 GHz
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
G.SKILL 4x1GB DDR2 800
WD Caviar SE16 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB (500/1600)
X-FI XtremeMusic
Hipro 600 Watt dual rails
Dell 20.1'' Widescreen LCD

*the stuff that is in bold is what I bought the other stuff I already had.

Bought it July 1st and it came on July 5th and thats when I built it so it is around a week and a half old and is probably already outdated. It cost me $950 for everything. I would get pictures but I have no idea how to get them off of my phone.

What was in it before those new parts?
 
siggy, had it for a couple years, no idea how many, nor what I paid but I think it was like 100usd + a trade in comp(140?) Or was the trade in like 50 and then I paid another 140? No clue, it's old and sucks. Oh, and the graphic card only recently died. It sure handled abuse well.
