one AGP video card, PCI and also ISA. ISA and PCI sound card. Floppy drive, CD-Rom drive, Simm and SDram, Hard drive, Power Supply, network card, monitor, speakers, fans. Thats a short list

Don't forget my 5.25" enclosure with a 80gig hard drive and a 2.5" enclosure with a 40gig drive. Never know when you will need the drive or enclosure.
