My cuz has a 3.2 @3.6 with nice water cooling. What raid are you running your raptors in? You should have got 4 raptors for that price and a ~20inch LCD :p

Xaser III Thermaltake -Shit case, why did u buy that? Poorest build quality and is such a n00b case. Should have bought a Lian Li case. What brand is your power supply?

Too start boasting you need at least dual processors (pref A64) and Dual Geforce 6800. mmmm 16-pipe GPU Architecture goodness

it's not even DDR2, and also, that you should very well know it's better to get two seperate 512's instead, it's better.

yep, but i disagree with ur choice of 6800, get ati x800 with a fat zalman heatsink.
no advantage of X800 over dual 6800 ultra....

mabye the temproal anialising and the VPU recover, but that are trivial.

i agree... i would spend it much more wisely, unless he does hardcore gaming to the max and does hardcore graphics rendering and compilation then maybe, but still even if he did, you wouldn't even need to waste so much money on such shit specs to achieve anything i mentioned.

wtf? the thermaltake case is mad. It looks mad, its got fan speed control with like 7 fans and is really spacious.

take a look

what are the extra feaures?


I managed to get it up to 3.8 Ghz but Im not keeping it there cause the damn thing runs WAY too hot. Like up to 68 C full load.

It has shit build quality. You're obviously a n00b if you dont know the flaws of that case. If you had an idea, you would have bought lian li, not the shitty 1mm thin thermaltake one.
