Hardware upgrade

[Jim Conner]

Well, went and bought the Abit kx7-333, amd xp2000+, 128mb ram, and a new 
case(needed an ATX case).  The case has 5 fans with a power supply, cpu and 
chipset fan, that's 8 fans.  Gonna sound like a F-4 taking off. :)  I hope 
that keeps it cool enough.  I'm going to put it all together Saturday.  I'll 
post back with any gottcha's/problems.  I know I'll have some, just my luck. 
:)
