Another rate my build tread yes :rolleyes:

Anyway:

Asus Commando, Intel P965, LGA775
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/640M, PCI-E
2 Seagate 7200.10 320GB, 16MB, SATAII (not RAID)
Antec Performance One P180, Midi, Black
Scythe Ninja Plus
Logitech G5, Laser Mouse
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4
Samsung 22" 226BW, 2ms
Coolermaster Q Alloy Keyboard, Alu. DK
Corsair CMPSU-620HXEU
NEC AD-7170S, SATA, Black, DVD RW
Steelpad S&S, Black Gaming Mousepad

Adding to this some Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 120mm fans (probably) to silence the thing. I'm going to start out with a moderate OC to 3 GHz but I'll probably try to get 3,2 -3,4 from it in time. I will be running Vista on this one (32bit) but if I get tired of it I'll go back to XP SP2. The machine will be used primarily for gaming but also office applications and the like.

Any advice / changes?

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Looks solid. Nice choice on the keyboard. I was going to get one of those last year but couldn't find a stateside reseller. Still confused on the appeal of the P180's but to each his own. And the Sharkoon fans are ideal.





 
Excellent monitor choice. I just picked one up this week and I love it! Once you get everything together that should be a great rig.
 
The commando is pricey for not much performance/feature gain over a P5B-E. BTW, the P180 has free shipping and $40MIR from frys right now.

I know, but I really like it, I guess I'm shallow, it was either this or the P5N32-E SLI/PLUS (they are priced the same in Denmark). Main reason for me choosing the Commando is the nice reset buttons on the mobo, I'm a first time overclocker, so I like the "false" safety in having this feature... :rolleyes:

Thanks but I'm in Denmark, so I don't think Fry's an option for me... :D I'm stuck with danish suppliers and danish VAT (25%) I'm afraid.
