Your mobo is an ASRock 4CoreDUAL-VSTA. That 9800 GTX will be awesome BTW.

Processor: AMD Athlon 2400 ?
Graphics Card: Nvidia 7600 GT Overclocked
RAM: 512 megabytes

Looks like a good setup that could be re-configured as a media PC. Just need a hard drive, DVD drive, a remote, and a good case to go with it.

My computer at the moment. Quad core ftw~

Nice rig, Tarquin. Multi-tasking is bliss with quad-core and lots of RAM.

Updated my main rig specs. I replaced my Asus P5K Deluxe motherboard with a new Asus Maximus II Formula motherboard. I'll be doing some overclocking on this board, to push my Xeon 3350 past 3.2 GHz or so.

I'll add pictures later.

EDIT:

Here's some pics of my main rig, with the new motherboard and PSU installed.

The new motherboard has some extra LEDs (for "diagnostic" purposes supposedly), along with a lit "Republic of Gamers" backlight poster, but I could care less about that, as long as it can perform and overclock well. So far, I've overclocked it up to 3.4 GHz, where it seems to be stable, after running stress tests. Going to try to push it further.

Next upgrade will be the video card, when the HD 4870 X2 comes out.

Vista takes up ~10-15 GB, depending on your version and installed components. Checking C:\ will include all Vista files, except for any hidden system files. Vista by default also uses the Volume Shadow Copy service, which uses up any additional free hard drive space for it's VSS images. Think up them as backup snapshots for system restore. If hard drive space is needed, Vista will automatically adjust the VSS size.

I usually don't like Vista allocating random amounts of my hard drive space to VSS, so I manually adjust it so that it only uses 2 GB max space. You can adjust the VSS size using the instructions here: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspacev.html
