d of choice. It has a resolution of 1600 by 1200, perfect for DVD viewing ($1200). To go along with this great screen will be a great sound system, to further enhance the movie theater like setup that my computer will be capable of. My system of choice is the Yamaha YST-MS55D ($100). With 80 watts of power this 3-piece speaker system will quickly turn my computer into a powerful Mp3 jukebox, as well as providing powerful bass from the included subwoofer. My hard drive now is 7.4 gigabytes. When I purchased my computer I had no idea of the obsession that would take over my life. This obsession is Mp3’s. I now have over 1300 and don’t plan on stopping my collection anytime soon. This however is putting some strain on my hard drive space and now I am wishing I had gone at least one step up, to 13 gigs or so. I will not be making this mistake again, I will be going with a 76.8 gigabyte IBM running at 7200 rotations per minute ($400). A gigabyte is equal to 1024 megabytes, or roughly one billion bytes. I was considering dual hard drives, but this can quickly get very expensive and I hope I will not need any more space than 76.8 gigabytes anytime soon. I rarely play games on my computer, outside of simple hearts, yet I still can’t stand when video games don’t run at their full potential. To do this I will need the ATI Rage Magnum 128 GL graphics card. With 32 megabytes of memory, my computer will be able to handle 31 bit true color 3D graphics up to 1920x1200 dots per inch. I also would like to hook up my video camera to my computer, to make some short videos into mpegs, as well as freeze frame some videos and turn them into jpegs. To do all this I will need the ATI All-In-Wonder Pro. ($219) In addition to having the ability to use my camcorder for video input and output, I will be able to watch television on my computer with the simple hookup of cable to the back of the component. This can be quit...
