    The fact that my purchases can't be said to reflect my needs is irrelevant...much like mbucari1, I just like to do it.

    D., it would be a shame to give up on the watercooling so quickly.
    If only to say that you climbed the learning curve, you should bring it to completion and run her for a while, then decide.

    Yeah I will man. I just get so frustrated that I have to drain it and the re route the hoses. I know, I know if you fall off a horse right? I just had a bad week, but I'll get her up and running soon.

    the prices are not as bad as for the current ones, but as always you do need a new mboo and DDR3 which costs more than the mobo . the cheapest thing if you build is the speakers which for $30 bucks, a frekn good keyboard now days comes with the mouse for 35$...

    now i remember a teacher told me once that they (intel/amd/etc) were trying to make new processors with 8 cores that would each work seperately, i think he said that atm they could only make it work like 2 quad cores i think.

    Well, i don't think they'll give satisfying performance for their prices. My E8400 still going so strong

    Well, I paid $330 for my e6600 in september of '06. $300 for 4GB of DDR2 800 and $160 for a GA-965P-DS3. Suddenly the price of a core i7 rig doesn't seem so exorbitant.

    Yeah but DDRII ram is even cheaper that DDR is most of the time. As most of you know I spend a good deal of cash on my computers when I have it, so it's not even the money really, my thing is I think it need time to be proven for a while before I drop the cash. let some others test it out first IMO
