Well, that thread I showed you to pretty much is THE guide for overclocking your CPU.

You could put some after-market coolers on your products.

You could over clock the GPU.

You could water cool.

I mean, there's a TON of stuff you could do to your computer, so pointing you in one direction is pretty tough without knowing what ideas you yourself have. I mean, just looking around at some of the threads can give you some pretty cool idea's about what to do to your computer.
 
Budget=Tight
The 400 bucks I splurged went to the mb, proc and gpu.
What i was curios of, was with this conglomeration (abberation?)
what would you do with it.

Looks like I'll be surfin and gamin and tinkerin through this f****** cold time of year.

And thanks for the link, very informative, I'll be reading it a few more times 'fore it 'clicks'.

I'm not too worried about how it looks, it IS pretty ugly though.
I'm not too worried about latest and greatest gadgets.
I just have an outdated? but running box here and wanted to pick yer brains.
Overclocking sounds like fun.
Thanks again.
