Okay, well...Actually more to the point, it's what's gonna happen AFTER I build it. Stress testing and burn in. I'll be running 5.04 until Breezy is stamped and sent. So, to that end, can anyone recommend a program that will stress test a system. Preferably one with a GUI front end.

cpuburn, lm-sensors and xsensors.

I do not know if there is a GUI for cpuburn.

Download and burn the .iso for Ultimate Boot CD. It has all the tests you need to burn in/test a fresh system.

Well...My understanding is that you stress test to isolate any components that will break early on, while the warranty's still good, rather than on day 91 of your 90 days...
