Walmart Special Litterbox
With Price Chopper brand Fresh Step cat litter (you know, the kind that smells worse than the cat's poo poo?)
A few bits and pieces of paper that gets kicked into the litter box when the cat decides to cover its business
An odd funny smell that reaks of ammonia, and, if combined with bleach would make chlorine gas.
And for the monitor I use the door of a microwave oven I salvaged from a junk yard.

I've posted my specs before, but I just bought a GeForce 6600 GT and I thought I'd put in what I hope to have in the next few months:
(some included from old system)
AMD 2700 XP 2GH (overclocked) (original)
1 GB Corsiar DDR 3200 400MHz (overclocked)
2x Hitachi SATA 80GB (7200, 8MB cache), RAID 0 Configuration
120GB Seagate (7200rpm) (original)
XFX 6600 GT AGP (overclocked)
480V PSU, dual fan
Like others have said, newegg.com rocks your socks.
MWAVE is definitely good stuff too.
You could also try pricewatch.com, they price compare MANY online computer resellers, so you can find the cheapest piece of silicon for your buck (minus breast implants).

:S what OS are you running
Gilgolad (#38)
if OS means "online security" then its norton firewall 2003, and notron antivirus 2005.
if you all suggest something different, i dont care, because this computer isnt worth the investment. i'm getting a new one before i head out to college so this one only needs to hold me another year.
all i use it for is viewing flash, playing DL, and e-mails.
