I've been adding parts to this computer almost every year. Originally, I had a Radeon 4890 which was replaced a little under 2 years ago, had 4GB of RAM which was expanded, I used my 46" TV as a monitor and then later on replaced it with 24" on a desk, then got another 24"
Next update I'm thinking will probably be xmas time or early in the new year, I will replace the video card, probably break from ATI and go nVIDIA, they seem to be doing good things and ATI has failed to provide good drivers for Linux.
