I can't wait until April 10th! Its my birthday, and i want to get a Celeron 566 and a ATI Rage Fury MAXX. This is gonna be awesome. Finally some new hardware! Since i finally got the voltage down on my Celeron II 700 (956 @ 1.95v stable in seti/games) that will go in a spare motherboard when i get one, thats if the Celeron 566 cooperates. I've heard some people can't get theres above 850?!?!? Is there any specific reason for this? Any other hardware I should pick up? Suggestions-----. Here is some of the stuff i need:
Video card----at least 32mb FAST!!! (was thinking MAXX i can get it for 50)
10k rpm Hard drives (pair for my fastrak card)
New CHIP (preferably cheap around the 130-150 range)
New CD-ROM (i still have my old Aopen 36x after my cheapo 52X crapped out on me)

Thanx Again!

Video card-- I would suggest a Geforce2 MX. 85 bucks off of pricewatch.com gets you a card that will do 45fps at 1600x1200 overclocked at 200/200.
10k rpm Hard drives-dunno, I have a WD200 Western Digital 20 gig ATA 100 that works nice... 99.00 at officemax...
New CHIP (preferably cheap around the 130-150 range) - I assume you mean CPU here. A Celly 566 would work good. Buy from a company with a good return policy in case the chip doesnt clock good so you can return until you find a good clocker.
New CD-ROM - I have an IOmagic 56x UDMA33- it works real good so far for the three months Ive had it...

Am I missing something?? A 566 and your talkin' $150. No,no,no. Got mine for $55 then shipping for total $66. At that price I'm really happy with my measly 953 MHz solid and 994 MHz as yet a little unsteady :)
