I didn't built it for myself, but wanted to built for sale.
It started out as walked to the computer store one day, few years ago and saw a custom built gaming PC for $2,000. It was AMD system with 4GB RAM and skeleton case with no lights...
I thought I could do better and cheaper, and I did.
I built Intel system with D865PERL, 4GB RAM DDR400, 3.0 Ghz hyperthreading processor and best Radeon videocard. Also had firewire and gizmoz lights...
Asked $1,000 + cost of the OS or provide your own.
A lot of people looked at it, but nobody ever bought it. I managed to sell just a videocard off of it and that's how I still got stuck with it.
