This is a custom built system which I need to sell. It works perfectly, there's nothing wrong with anything. Take a look at the pics. You probably won't find a system like this anywhere. First for some real class, it's all in a SilverStone LC02 brushed aluminum case. Normally the case only holds one 3.5" HDD because of it's small form factor, but I've also fitted a 30G 2.5" laptop hard drive enclosed in foam for complete support and quiet operability. The 30G holds the Operating System and all software for this Multimedia Beast. There's an included 300G serial ATA Hard Drive as well, which is meant to hold all of your video / TV recording data, movie data, or other such data you mean to put on it. Since this is a distinct separate drive, it will boost the efficiency and speed since the OS and software all run on another completely separate drive. The 2.5" hard drive was adapted to an IDE interface via the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter (see pics). Because the OS is on the 2.5" drive, this makes for a very quiet system as well. I've also attenuated the CPU and GPU fan speeds to run quietly but still adequately cool. All this makes a small form factor machine of this type to be much quieter, yet far more powerful than comparable (in size) systems.

I've included some free multimedia apps to compliment the Windows Media Software. This system will play your DVDs, and operate as a TIVO or DVR ( TV recorder). Please note all the top-notch components below. The best possible heatsink that can possibly fit in this machine was used combined with a 60mm fan (you can see all in the pics below). These are not cheap! The thermalright XP-90 heat sink was $40.00+ alone. The P4 is an uncommon version of the 2.0Ghz (sSpec SL62Q) which has the lowest power consumption rating compared to almost all other P4s, and all P4s above 2Ghz (chosen so to run the system powerfully yet quietly). All together about $900 actual cost to build.

Below we see how the components stack together. The right pic is with all the wiring intact.
Please note that the wiring has since been tethered an organized since I took these.
Everything is secure, in its place.
The little dark gray around the 2.5" drive is foam padding.
