Well, I have collected a few PC pieces recently and am a couple steps away from an upgrade to my main rig. The main reason behind this is because I need a hardware setup that has Windows 7 support.
The pieces I have collected:
Asus Crosshair II Formula with AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition AM2+ CPU and fan and most accessories [used]
I/O Panel [new]
Asus Supreme FX II sound card [used]
Asus Q-Connector kit [new]
Kingston HyperX DDR2 1066 2 GB Memory kit(dual channel kit) KHX8500D2K2/2G - 2 kits [both new]
Asus BIOS LCD Poster [new]
As for what's left to get, a 120 GB Kingston HyperX SSD drive and of course a copy of Windows 7. Those will most likely be a few weeks or a month or two away. All stats will be updated on my "Newer" rig pic accordingly in brackets, then switched when all is installed and running.
Now one thing I would love to get, especially when I start piecing together a brand new rig is one of these, just with a different top panel than the ones they offer:
