Okay, so over the last month or so I have started designing my latest project. Since my last project was more or less limited by time and money on my design, so I just stuck to the main points. This time around I am going smaller, more artistic, and just overall more appealing. I named this new project DoomzPunk since my original idea was to be a SFF Steampunk design, but over the last couple of weeks, it has migrated to 50% steampunk and 50% art deco similar to many of the designs seen in the game BioShock.

The design will carry over to the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and external HDD.

So far my hardware includes:
- Abacus mITX motherboard
- Intel Core Duo T2300
- AMS eCube Flex-ATX Case
- Noctua NC-U6 Northbridge Cooler
- Crucial 2GB DDR2-667
- Hitachi 250GB SATA HDD
- R2 Mark II and Fragpedals (GamingMouse.com)

I am still looking to obtain a PCI-Express x16 Video Card (8600GTS or better), Solid Power Supply, and a USB to 2.5″ HDD Adapter. Hopefully a sponsor will pull through on at least the video card as I really do not make enough to afford even a $150 card. Once I get the video card, I will have to obtain a waterblock as even if I do not water cool the CPU I will use it on the GPU.

I plan on featuring my project on a couple modding forums, my own website, a YouTube feature, local computer shows, and hopefully a spot in the local art newspaper, The Stranger.
