Of course I know&#33; You guys go to the same school and play pool together. I think he has been pretty busy recently as he has chosen what we Americans call "a computer science" major. That&#39;s good. You can make a lot of money in that field. It is very competitive, though, but VERY exiting.

I respect you guys. You both are very courteous and helpful to the folk around here. Tell him that I say "hello."

Memory
Recommendation: 2 X 256MB Mushkin PC3500 Level One Dual Pack (CAS2)
Price: &#036;145 shipped



For whatever reason, memory prices have skyrocketed recently. Everything from PC3200 or PC3500 to 1GB, memory modules have gone up significantly in price. By the time you read this, prices may have shifted significantly, so be wary.

While companies like Corsair, OCZ and now Kingston are heavy favorites among high-end memory consumers, Mushkin is also starting to gain favor rapidly. In the last few months, we&#39;ve been using OCZ&#39;s Platinum modules as the standard for a majority of AnandTech&#39;s testbeds, but we have also been using Mushkin Level One memory (mostly Level II actually). Unfortunately, it is getting harder and harder to find dual packs nowadays, but Mushkin Level One Dual Packs are available at large vendors, like Axion and Newegg, so they&#39;re still out there. We&#39;ve been able to do lots of testing with these specific PC3500 modules and they indeed run stabily at PC3500 (433MHz DDR) on many currently available motherboards. There are many PC3500 modules that aren&#39;t capable of reliable DDR433 speeds on popular motherboards, so be wary. But motherboards such as the ABIT NF7-S Rev. 2 and ASUS P4C800-E will run these modules very well, so we suggest that you take a look at them when purchasing your motherboard. However, don&#39;t get confused; PC3500 is not an officially sanctioned JEDEC spec, and therefore there are no motherboards on the market which can claim that they officially support PC3500 speeds. PC3500 is quite easily attainable with modern-day motherboards, but just be aware that PC3200, not PC3500, is the highest speed that your motherboard manufacturer will officially support under warranty.

Computer Case
http://www.anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.html?i=2021&p=5
Recommendation: Kingwin K11 Aluminum ATX case
Price: &#036;70 shipped

We&#39;ve recommended the Kingwin K11 before as an alternative and as our primary recommendation, and we continue that feeling this week with our overclocking system. Ventilation is very important for an overclocking system and the K11 is able to deliver with four different fan positions specifically located so that as much hot air as possible is blown out of your system. Even with all your components installed, the case is still relatively light, even light enough to carry to a LAN party or to bring over to your friend&#39;s or family&#39;s house, mostly because of its aluminum construction. It comes with four 5.25" Bays, two external 3.5" Bays and five internal 3.5" bays, four USB 2.0 ports, and one Audio, Mic, FireWire port. As we mentioned before, there are four different fans, located at the top, at the rear, and two front fans as well. The case construction and quality is quite good; the material isn&#39;t cheap or flimsy by any means. You also don&#39;t run the risk of cutting yourself on sharp edges while building your system, as pretty much every corner of this case is dull to the touch because of its aluminum (and not pure stainless steel) construction.

A power supply that is able to generate consistent, stable voltages is vital to the success of an overclocking system. Quality is of the utmost importance in this particular area, and because of that, we would have to suggest the highly touted Antec True Power 430W (TRUE430) power supply. This power supply was used for each of our overclocking tests in this guide and is the perfect power supply for serious overclockers. It provides stable voltages on all rails and has an excellent reputation for longevity. We&#39;ve personally built several overclocking systems around it with great success. If you&#39;re looking for a more affordable variant, we suggest the 400W version of this Antec PSU for &#036;55 shipped online.

A little buying advice - search your local PC Club or go online (www.pcclub.com) if you&#39;re having difficulty finding the Kingwin K11 Aluminum for &#036;70 shipped.

that case is kinda cool
