ok, so i sourced all of my own components and i want to be sure i didn't leave anything out, so check my list:

Motherboard: ECS GeForce7050SM-M V2.0 (7050PV / 2 RAM / 256MB VID / SND / LAN)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ AM2 Dual-Core (2.6GHz / 1MB / HT2 2000FSB)
CPU Fan: Thermaltake CL-P0296 Silent Boost RX K8 Copper CPU Fan
RAM Memory: 2GB 667MHz (2X-1GB) DDR2 PC5300 Dual-Channel RAM Memory
Hard Drive: 320GB 7200RPM SATA2 Hard Disk Drive
Cooling Fan: 2 x Hard Disk Drive Dual-Fan Cooler
Optical Drive: 20X Dual Layer DVD-RW Burner
Video Card: (2x SLI) nVidia GeForce 8600GT 1GB DDR3 PCI Express Video Cards
PC Tower Case: AOPEN Black T600 Nouveau Mid-Tower Case
Power Supply: OKIA 550W BASIC LOAD Power Supply
Case Fan: 2 x Ball Bearing ATX System Cooling CASE FAN
Keyboard & Mouse: Standard Keyboard & OPTICAL Mouse Combo

i think the power supply is ok for this config, and the cooling fans will be sufficient to keep this beast cool. if you disagree with any of my choices, or think that there might be a better option at the price point i am looking at, then by all means chime in and let me know. don't just say that this is a pig and i am stupid, 'cause i won't learn anything by that (and i already know that to be true, so move on)...

thanks for stopping by.
