Built Computer over the weekend for my roommates parents. All the parts, except for the hard drive and the CD/DVD drive, were purchased from TigerDirect.

- Ultra Micro Fly SX6 Clear Side w/600w XV – Case & Power Supply
- XFX MG-610i-7059 GeForce 7050 Socket 775 - Motherboard
- Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 1.6Ghz 512k 800Mhz – Processor
- Masscool 8W553 Intel Socket 775 CPU Fan
- CRUCIAL 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHZ -.RAM(Memory)
- Hiro Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps PCI Cars w/Port 5dBi – Wireless G Card
- Western Digital 80GB hard drive

Problems
The only problem I had was the install of Windows XP Media Center. The package came with 3 CD's:
- Install disk 1
- Install disk 2
- Windows XP media disk
During the install I was asked for Windows XP professional disks and one time I was asked for a Service Pack 2 disk. Switching between the 3 disks did the trick. Complete install without any other hitches.
Note:
- The Masscool 8W553 Fan fit like it was made for the Ultra Micro Fly SX6 case
- The Masscool 8W553 Fan has a bracket you put on the back side of the mother board and screw in the fan from the top. I really like this new design!
- Door hing that covers the frount of the DVD drives was broken on arrival. After talking with Mr. Thompson we both agreed that those front doors are really more of a pain than anything else so we just left it off rather than return it. I have to say, it seems to me the hinge is a vary week design
- Did not install any of the Hiro Wireless card software or driver. Wireless works great.
- Processor seems to be running at about 33 degrees according to the Ultra Micro Fly case thermometer.
