Superficial - that 1.4 Thunderbird was an awesome CPU wasn't it! It totally owned the equivalent Intel CPU (Pentium 4 1.5) at the time in late 2001. Although my RAM was 512MB, I was still on the older PC133 version, so your PC was still probably faster. I didn't build this PC though - I just chose the parts and got a friend to build it. My next PC though in early 2004 I did build.
lol - oh don't as i was typing that list i was getting teary eyed. i remember trying the pencil trick and getting nowhere with it!
yeah it was a good first build
