The build
This pc was built on 1-Jan-2003. It had A7N266-VM Motherboard with AMD 2000+ XP Processor, along with GeForce Ti4200 AGP Card with it's Western Digital IDE HDD and Optical Drives. I was only 14 years old back then. As for that, I only had limited budget for upgrade. I only upgrade the memory to 1GB. It was a value ram. Then changed the graphics card from the Ti4200 to 9600XT. Then 2006, I'm a college student, used the money to upgrade my pc. Major change took placed for the pc. Upgraded the memory to Corsair, the processor to an XP-M, the PSU and other little stuffs. Changed the 9600XT with an 9600PRO. I'm using it as a temporary card as my 9600XT actually got damaged by a falling PSU on it. Pretty sad. My careless mistake aswell while swapping the PSU on standing position. Since then I always lie down the PC when I'm making adjustments. Check out my new rig too! It's also been updated with some new components.

Performed mods
It has been updated.
Changed the CPU cooler with G-Power Pro cooler. Temp dropped by more than 12 degrees from 3D-Rocket cooler. (With AS5).
Spend hours figuring out to route the wirings for the CPU cooler (such a hectic, but finally came out okay I guess).
Added two exhaust fans (AC Ryan 80mm).
Changed PC keyboard (Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated).
A faster and newer Graphics card is still on its way.
It's about time to OC this thing!
