I think (if its not too dificult) that you should try both, and post temps :) Nice build, I'm a noctua fan fan...:)

Couldn't see the pics at work. Looks good, nice work.

I think this thing looks sweet :)

I think it looks pretty good. But I'd go with a q9550 myself. :)

You "ahhhh-choo"?

Have you checked to see how got your card is getting? Does your case have decent airflow? Have you adjusted the fan speed of the GPU to lower temp, via Cat. 8.10?

I think it turned out good, nice work.

Completely normal.

I'd go for the Maximus, with that x2 of yours. Either way would be good though.

Dang Ang, (lol) That tuniq looked freekin huge in it.

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1232853 I miss mine :( I sold it a while back...

Thanks for help pvhk, and yang88she. I think I should have bought that board long ago...

So my question to pvhk if you don't mind. Which board would be better for my next build? This DFI jr or Asus G35? [Q9450-single 8800GTS] Thanks

I'd say 4850 or 4870.

I sold this setup a while back. The drive was actually very quiet. Less than the 17 DBA Noctua fans, that I had used before I sold it. And if you got the room, go big.

Started my OC over after adding second 8800gts. Currently at 3.2 @ 1.32v, fsb/vtt 1.35, nb 1.45

I would recomend: CM Elite 340 Corsair HX620 Crucial Ballistix TR 120 Extreme 8800gt Q6600 or X3210 xeon, (GO) Go quad. If you can grab one from CompUSA, its a good deal.

If I remember correctly you need to make the raid disk out of the x64 drivers. Vista had no problems installing, it was just the issues I had a while later that made me go back to xp64. GL

I'm not sure I understand. I did cut out a 120mm circle in the front of the radiator, to help with airflow.

*****Update***** Well I decided to quit waiting for my wife to let me get the waterblock for my 8800, and decided to add the second radiator :) So far so good *fingers crossed* Take a Look As you can see I removed the second 120 fan up front, and added an 80mm Noctua in the hdd bay...

I couldn't find a dual 120 rad that would fit. That was my original plan, but after measuring, and looking around, no dice.

Nice work. What are your system specs, oc, and temps? If you get a chance. I'm adding a second radiator to mine when the barbs arrive in the mail.

Thanks for the update! Looking, good, I'll use a couple of those ideas. As for mine, I've received my second radiator, just waiting on the barbs. I will update my pics, when I'm done ;)

@shing, Two screws, and it slides out. @ armyoffoo, first off thanks for the case recomendation, same for the noctua fans, I'm super happy with it so far. I haven't cut the front yet, but plan to. I can fit a 120x20 Yate between the front panel, and the actual case, as the 25mm just...

The power/reset audio, and usb is on the right edge of the front panel. I think I'm going to try and fit a pa160 in there.

Well my better half wouldn't let me upgrade yet, but I did need a new power supply, so I purchased the corsiar hx620, an open-box matx mobo, a $17 dollar matx case. And decided to water cool it. My goal was to move my existing system in to a smaller format, and quiet it down, while keeping or...

On a budget, I don't think you can beat the coolermaster elite 340 for $17 imho.

Thanks man. Clean setup. I'm waiting for all my stuff to get here.

Just curious if you would post a pic of your cooler master elite 340. I'm in the process of setting mine up :) Thanks.

Just wanted to say, thanks. I had originally planned to get the microfly mx6. Since I read your last post, and saw your setup, I went ahead and purchased the Coolermaster Elite 340 yesterday. I still can't belive the $17 dollar price tag. I'm going to either pick up the corsair 620 or the...

Thanks MassiveOverkill, that sounds like a good plan.

Thanks for the reply. The 9500 should fit, assuming the socket is in the right area. Heck there is a pic of a 9700 in a MX6 in the SFF gallery. As far as power supplys go, I'm hoping the included ultra 600 watt, will do for now, although I'm aware that it isn't their best. I'm just...

Well My wife hates my addiction if you will, to computers. That being said, I won't be able to upgrade for a while, and must make my system last. First off my components: Opteron 170 ccbbe 0610 Asus A8N Sli-deluxe <-possibly dieing as my lan cuts out regularly on the gigabit port. 2gb...

I really like the look of that gentoo/flux desktop. I think I'm going to try it. Nice work.

I'm running x64 feisty, with wine, and get over 100fps in CSS with everthing high. Thats the game I play, and it works, so I'm happy. Dual boot, untill you can get it working the way you like in .nix GL

I'm dual booting 64bit ubuntu and vista with no issues. Haven't tried fixing the flash yet. But I like it.:cool:

Nice post cerebrex, I'm kicking around upgrading myself. Good info.

Well one last update for me. I brought back the LG, and got the 206 sammy. After a day, was fully convinced that the picture quality was noticably better on the LG, and it seemed brighter. However the response time seemed better on the Sammy. Reguardless, I took back the sammy, and got the...

Thanks stanley, an sidder. If I were to take this back, I think it would be to get this Would this be in the same boat as the other sammy 22" monitors? Even though its a 20. Thanks again for the help... dunc4n

I'm coming close to running out of time to bring this thing back if I choose to. I just want the best for my money. (who dosen't) I just wish I could try the Sammy, 20, and 22 inch, and see personally if they are better for the games that I play. I'm losing my mind...
