Hi all, I'm new here, but I have been reading some helpfull tweak guides from this place and they have helped me stabilise my current computer.

I am wanting to build my new comp soon, so I am in the process of getting parts.

This is a list of parts I want.

- 2 x p4 3gig cpu's ( 100% certain )
-Asus mobo ( don't know what one tho or if it can run dual cpu's, so advice would be apreciated here )
-Asus Geforce 4 ti 4600 128mb (100% certain)
-Creative Sound Blaster audigy 2 ( either platinum or 6.1 )
-2 x 80 gig or 120 gig HD's ( not sure on what brand )
- 40 speed cd rom writable ( sony or kenwood )
- DVD drive ( not sure what speed, but something fast)
- no floppy
-19 inch sony trinitron monitor (could go for 21, will I have any probs?)
- 1 gig of rdr ram
- case that is clear on one side and green neon light tube things, that just looks so ****ing cool it's not funny. ( 100% but I need to know how to put this together )
- A power supply maybe 550watt ? will my comp explode?
- fans im not sure, but it has to cool everything real good and be easy to install.
-mouse and keyboard i'll get when im finnished.

What else do I need? and could you recommend some of the parts I don't know about please?

My current computer is this

*P4 2gig
*Leadtek Geforce 4 ti 4400 128mb
*Asus p4b533 mobo
*512 ddr ram
*80 gig hd
*Liteon 32x12x40x cd rw
*Sony 17 inch trinitron monitor
*Creative sound blaster live! Platinum 5.1 sound card
*300 watt power supply
*some fan that's silent, I dunno the brand name

Anyway, you might be wondering why I need a new computer, truth it, I'm a n00b at building computers and I am giving my current one to my cousin for his 21st birthday cause he was recently in a motorbike accident and in a como and had a cranioctomy (remove front of his skull out) but he is better now and waiting surgery to put the bone back. :)

I havent yet put a computer together, but with guides from here I'm confident. My feind put my current one together and now I want to do it myself, just need advice on parts and compatability.

Sorry for this long post, but help would be apreciated.

Thank you. :bounce:
