Hey i'm gonan get a new comp in about a month or two. Anyway thunderbox currently has this storm xp for sale at 999$.
Athlon XP 1800+ Thoroughbred Core.
350W Chieftec Mid-Tower Case.
Asus A7V266-E (AMD Assured!).
256mb PC2100 DDR RAM.
Maxtor ATA133 40GB 7200RPM "Quiet" Hard Drive.
Nvidia! GeForce 4 Ti4200, 64MB DDR.
52x CDROM Drive.
10/100 Network Card
3.5" 1.44mb Floppy Drive.

Logitech Optical Mouse
Windows XP Home Edition.
*Tweaked and optimized for ultimate performance*
**Our systems are fully tweaked and optimized for incredible gaming performance, then burned in for a minimum of 72 hours plus 8 or more hours of one on one game testing prior to shipment.**
(So they basically turn down all the features of win xp off and what else can they do to optimize performance? Download drivers and set the video card a little overclocked?)
