Well, I think you'd have a tremendously difficult time replicating the V series hole pattern on a large scale. Look in my sig. It's an awful lot of holes... Would look freakin' sweet though!

Standard answer for you: -Silverstone TJ07 or TJ09 -Lian Li V1200 or V2000 -Coolmaster Stacker 830 Series -Thermaltake Kandalf -Others will say Lian Li G70, or Coolermaster CM Stacker. Not bad choices. -Steer clear of the Antec P180. Feels like cheap junk; especially the door. -If...

I picked up one of the 631's as well for $25. Likely be used in a build for a buddy. For the price, it competes. Wish the Al were a bit thicker on the panels, etc, and that the finish were a bit better, esp on the hdd rack. That and fewer rivets, more screws. For the price and purpose, it's...

Yikes! :shudder:

In general: !) Apple (MacBook- Look in the Clearance Deals section of Apple Store online) 2) Dell (Dude...); Gateway; Lenovo Just another thought... I've not seen good things from HP's consumer level notebooks in terms of quality (buttons on touch pads are junk!), but they may have...

As ^ he mentioned, you Alt-Tab out of the game. Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the task manager. Processes tab. Right click on your game executable and click "Set Affinity". Uncheck "1" and close the task manager. You are good to go!

Very nice mod on a tank of a keyboard. Super!

He's not in the U.S. if he's quoting AUD as his currency...

Yeah, I didn't ever remember seeing one less than, say, $35. I'm psyched.

I just picked up a Zalman VF900 GPU hsf from coolerguys (garage sale item) for $19 + ship. There was only one :( ... sorry guys. Seemed like a good deal, and it was an impulse buy for me. Is that a pretty good deal?

Likely true. Not sure what his budget will be. May have to step down to something like a 7600GT. To the OP- I should also note that you'll need a heatsink since that processor is OEM.

Ditto to above poster. I'll be watching this thread too, because I'm getting ready to build one for my gf's little brother!! I'm probably getting a Brisbane 3600+ X2 with the Biostar T-550 mobo combo deal. You should check that out. Lot's of people recommend the X1950 pro for that price...

If I were doing it, I'd grab the E6400 and a nice hsf and then just over clock it. Could save yourself a good $50 or more.

Yikes, yeah, that's pretty hot. Guess what! 700Mhz * 2 = 1.4Ghz. It's the same number, with the lower being the actual and the higher being the effective clock rate (since it uses GDDR2-double data rate ram) I didn't overclock much on stock cooling, but I tossed a cheap Zalman VF700 on it...
