I thought it was a pretty slick case. I love how it has the open front plate. Great computer AI!

Not really, I have the cabinet silent, so you actually don't notice it.

Beauty = eye of the beholder, you know like everything else.

You don't wanna know ;)

Nice setup but i'm not too sure about that case too. Your's beat's mine
on the G/card but i think its similar elsewhere

nvidia 8800gt
Intel C2D e6750 @ 2.66Ghz (haven't tried o'c yet but it runs cool stock)
oztech 4GB ddr800
Antec Case (p series, it weighs a tonne and has a few 120cm fans in it)
x2 Samsung 500GB sata (one which i've just borked)
x1 samsung 160GB sata
x1 Samsung 200GB ide
x1 Samsung dvd-ram (hmm, i like samsung)
xilence 600w psu
19" widescreen tft
audigy se
wintv nova-t

had it 3 days and in that time i've borked (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615854) my main data hdd, swapped the nb fan/hs for a zalman, messed up a xp64 install and struggled with arch64

Can't wait until i get crysis and some decent drivers

If you know how to overclock and got that CPU just because it is 64bit capable you made a mistake (well, not a huge one but C2D > Athlon 64 X2 )... everything else is a bomb :P

thats what i thought when i saw his specs. i've no idea how my processor compares but i'm glad i got the GT instead of the GTX, although a heater would be nice in my room. 3dmark05 (i know) gave me a score of just over 17,000. Just need to figure out why my xp64 uses 1.5GB with next to bugger all open

It's good to have a heater in the room (GTX), then I don't need to turn the warm on in the room. :popcorn:
Actually it's not that bad. It keeps stabil regarding heat.

regomodo, nice Samsung fetisch :D - I'll keep mine to Asus, even though people say they are bad supported in linux - I have never encountered any big obsticals.
