Some of it's gutted from the old one rather than replacing things that don't need it. Stuff with a star I'll be ordering over the weekend.

AMD Athlon FX57 San Diego 90nm (Socket 939)*
Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2
ATI Radeon X1900 ***Crossfire Edition*** 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)*
CoolerMaster Stacker 830 RC-830
VapoChill Micro High End (Socket 754/939/940)
Akasa AK174CB-4BLB 120mm Blue LED Fans*
Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

The salvaged parts from the old rig are my Asus DVD-ROM, the HL DVD-RAM, my Audigy 2 Platinum Pro and most importantly of all, my Antec TruBlue 480 PSU. A long time Intel man, I'm going to AMD this time.

Not cheap, but at least it'll be ready for a good few years to come.

Couple of changes on the back of what's been said here:

HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+

The heatsink I'm torn on. 813G for the one that was mentioned just seems way too heavy for a vertically mounted mobo unless I'm overlooking something. I also seem more drawn to the X2 chips for some reason.
