This is the best I've owned so far after 3 years using an ok laptop.
cpu - intel 820 dual core(overclocked to 3.1 hz)
ram - 1 g (may upgrade to 2g soon)
mainboard - asus p5ld2
vid card - 7300gt 1.2 ns
hdd - seagate sata 320g
sony dvd cd burner/rom
case - asus with lots of ventilation. front and back fan
power - delta 450w
monitor - powerlab 19" lcd

I always end up spending $ when I have time on my hands.

Nice.

I have the same motherboard. Does yours run hot? The motherboard I mean.

according to the dashboard-type display it usually hovers around the high 40s and has gone up to 58 cpu temp. i may need to adjust the overclocking down a bit.

Okay. That's a little comforting. My P5LD2 seems to be 48-49C often which triggers the warning on the ASUS temp sensor program. Also, this weather is pretty hot. When we don't use the air-con my PC heats up considerably.

So you overclocked your motherboard? I ain't so brave!!
