Well after much much deliberation and many months of contemplation, I finally (almost) have permission to blow the budget and upgrade my aging rig.
Current:
======
Chieftech Scorpio w/350W Chieftech PSU
AMD Athlon XP2800 Barton @ 210x10.5
DFI Lanparty Ultra B Mobo
2Gb Value DDR (@210/6-4-4-2)
1x Raptor 40Gb SATA Drive
2x WD Caviar 80Gb IDE Drives
1x Maxtor Diamondmax 250Gb Drive
GeForce 6800GT 128Mb (The old not "quite" a real GT)
Samsung 913N 1280x1024 TFT
Plus a Barton 2500 based server with 1 40Gb and 2x200Gb hard drives.
To replace with the following: (4 of the hard drives go into the server to replace the 2x200Gb SATA's with 4x320Gb SATA's).
