Only a few upgrades remain on this version of Tadaka...
1) Bigger HD - This one's a must. 13 GB is just too small nowadays, especially if you want to be able to archive and sort files before you move them to CD. A nice 7200 RPM Ultra ATA 40 GB drive would do nicely. :)
2) More memory - Got to get this one while they still make SDRAM, since the best my mobo can take is PC133. I think an extra 256 MB should take care of it; that'll put me at a half-gig.
3) Front-mounted case fan, rounded cables - extra cooling is always good. This'll get the air flowing, and in all the right spaces.
So really, not much left to go before this Tadaka Experienced is done. Then, of course, we have to do Tadaka Experienced 2, which would start out with a new mobo, killer processor (at least a P4 2.0 GHz or the AMD equivalent), and a fat stack of DDR memory... followed by a new Radeon. Of course, I don't expect to see that kind of stuff for at least another year, by which it will be no longer cutting-edge and much cheaper. :)
