    unfortunately due to child labor laws i can not get a job so my hardware is limited to what i can mooch off my parents into getting me. once i can get a job i can easily pass for a job at bestbuy building/upgrading computers or for a local computer store (...i forgot the name of it)

    what i had (last year approx):
    1. case that heats up so fast you could use it for a toaster
    2. crappy ecs k7s5a
    3. amd atholon 1.4Ghz at 133/133
    4. random 128 MB ddr
    5. random 24 Gig drive
    6. i have no idea pos power supply 300w
    7. 0 case fans, only fans are on processor and power supply
    8. no coolers
    9. 0 mods
    10. really bad temps
    11. really cool LS-120 floppy drive.
