Nice setup cyper! I like your monitor, i have a 18" Acer P191w flatpanel i really want somthing a little bigger. How do you like your Zalman heatsink? I know intel runs a little hotter than AMD but what is your core temp at. I'm wondering because i have been considering getting a Zalman sink.

I think it's a very sweet rig. My only gripe is you've got all that power, I mean a supreme HOSS of a machine but you skimped out on the video card. You need to go with at least a 1gb. That's just my take though. Everything else I think it totally awesome. I love that case by the way.-Joseph

I'm an IT tech for a living, but of course we don't custom build our PCs at work. I haven't built a PC in quite some time, but I still appreciate seeing your sweet system! If you're seriously into computers, you should check out the PC forum I moderate. It's a very busy place and covers just about all areas of computers from hardware to software...a lot of good guys there.<a href=\"http://www.techimo.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.techimo.com/</a>My name is Martoch on there as well and I represent my love of horror there all the time...I've been a member there since 2002. Like I said, I'm a mod there, so behave...or at least wait until I'm not looking. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

I don't do much gaming anymore so i figured i didn't need a $400 + dollar card. If any thing I'm going to just buy the same card I have overclock the shit out of them and run them in crossfire.
