I was thinking of getting this one, because not only could I put my beer on top of my PC to keep it nice & chilled, but I could use my PC cooling system as colateral for a mortgage.

Seriously though....

...you should get some better cooling for it. The best air cooling is still a Swifty pin sink with a Delta. You can quiet it down by going with a 120mm fan and an adapter.

I haven't been able to find what you're talking about anywhere. Linky?

Swifty

Go to the MCX64-V under heatsinks

Thanks! Think I've got me a proper system now, so all that's left is to appropriate the funding for it. Actually, I already have the funding for it, what I need to do is get my *** a job so that I don't have to use my savings to stay afloat. And spending two grand on a new computer when you're jobless is just not a good idea. Unless you've got way more money than I do, anyway.

OK, but now it's broken. I hope you're happy.

Hmmm�.Not sure what the link was to, but it looks like it might have been to a Chiller? If so, they will let you make some real good OC�s, but they are in and of themselves, as big pain in the butt.

Threadium Resurectus!

Still don't have my new PC, I'm considering waiting until Feb when nVidia releases it's next generation video cards, since that'll drive down the price of the ones I want. Or at least until after Christmas when shipping becomes reliable and bargains abound.

Came up with two questions though.
1) Seeing as I'm going with an SLI configuration, I'm a bit worried about the noise the thing'll be making. Two video card fans, a processor heatsink & the power supply fan sounds noisey to me. Anyone know of any good solutions for that?

2) I've found an Irish website that actually is a bit cheaper for a few parts than I've found on US sites, so I'll definately be getting a few from there. Question is, if I buy some parts in Ireland, and some parts from the US, am I going to have to worry about any incompatabilities? ie: Power supply...?

Well the site I quoted has computer components of all varieties at good prices, I didn't mean to imply that it was solely PSU's. And I wasn't recommending a North American PSU in Europe! Boom not good when it comes to computers
