Oh, and the monitor is a 22 inch 226BW, not a 206BW...my bad
PS: Euphoria, if I were you, I'd invest a little bit of money in a better GPU. The 8600 GT really is the bottleneck in your system; in fact, you can have a pair of the 8600 GT's run in SLI mode, and it'd still be significantly inferior to an 8800 GT/GTX, to say nothing of the Ultra. If you're hard up, I'd recomment the 7900 GTS/GTX instead; it is getting pretty cheap, now that the 9X series are about to come out, but still will give you at least double the performance of your current card.

My computer is crap. It's basically a Compaq Presario bought in 2004 from Circuit City. No updates ever since.
My monitor is an average 17-inches. I bought it in 2006 because I didn't want my old fat one anymore. Since we're talking about computer stuff, are there any screens out there that are not bad for the eyes?
the reason i dont want to invest in a better gpu is because im using the PC purely for recording tv shows, watching videos, and surfing the web in the living room. yeah i could do with lesser specs for this purpose, but since i was upgrading some parts, i went for the mid level spec.
I got cheap stuff haha.

My PC is more than 4-year old so it's not state of the art anymore, but it was a pretty good machine back then. I didn't build the PC myself, but I did chose every components.
Intel Pentim 4 2.80 GHz
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
Kingwin KT-424-BK-WM
Antec TRUE430
Corsair TWINX1024-3200LL
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB

Plextor PX-W4824TA
Panasonic 1.44 M floppy drive

I am in the process of buying components for a new build and this time I will do it myself. So far I have only bought non-electronic components except for one DVD writer.

I think i bought it late 2003/early 2004
No one I think can beat my spec in term of its crapness :
I bought it barebones (clone) from ebay in 2001, a lame AMD Athlon processor. Since then lots of its component come and go, I think the DVD-Writer is the fourth (I know I download lots of stuff). I just add another HD last year, a 500GB (the third HD in the machine, accumulating about 1.1 TB) so that I can collect a completed series (tv/anime) and I can burn them in one go, easy for archiving and retrieving. At least it can extend my burner with a now less frequent of burning activity.
The machine never stop helping me with my illegal leeching/pirating activity from kazaa (my first), edonkey, torrent, irc, streamload and now my current downloading armor: a giganews usenet with 200 days retention. Means I can do globetrotting for half a year and still not miss an episode of my favorite series.
Currently in planning to change my current machine to a new one. My current machine I think is at the end of its lifetime. Sometimes its goes down for no reason and cannot be restarted. I think its probably a power supply failure or a worst one, motherboad failure.
