This is a view of the inside of my new computer. There's a very small chip underneath the big heat sink. To the left is the video card and some rear panel eSATA and USB ports. On the far left, the bottom of this case when standing up, you can see a bit of the power supply. There are three large, adjustable speed fans: One below the sink, one above, and one to the right that you can't see. Below there are 4 GB of memory (2 x 2gb, blue sticks). Further details are buried at the bottom of the web page.
