[NTLUG:Discuss] High end Computer parts retailer in Dallas

[Drag0n]

The case is a ThermalTake XaserIII super tower. I have had it for a
while, but she's a good case. I also just like to be ready in case of
future needs ( decide to upgrade to a pair of 7950gx2's or a physx card,
or possibly a blueray burner for archiving reasons) you never know.

The current 600W is a Coolermaster 600W power supply.
