    lol, with normal use of the computer they aren&#39;t needed (with the latest motherboards, they have onboard everything...).

    besides, all the things you mentioned come in a USB vesion as well (well, maybe not firewire...)

    funny how alot of people want a TV out to watch movies on their TV, and a TVtuner to watch programs on their PC...........

    and you might want an.......... euhhhmmmm dialup modem?

    wait: a good 5.1 sound card&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; (of course that still leaves you with 4 slots open.........

    Good motherboards these days have 5.1&#092;6channel sound onboard.
    And TV-out is on your video card.

    Exactly, My motherboard has excellent 6 channel sounds onboard, so no sound card is necessary.
    And I am using absolutly no PCI slots, so there&#39;s plenty of room there

    Not me lolol

    Sounds like a good idea, but those thermaltake ducts are kinda exspensive...but you can find fans for pretty cheap.

    while improving your cooling in a PC can be beneficial, what you are attempting is a complete exercise in futility.

    i mean, you will be putting yourself way past the point of diminishing returns.

    believe me the performance gains to be had are negligible at best and more than likely not noticeable in everyday use.

    but, if you&#39;ve got the time and money, knock yourself out.

    peace,
