Built my new rig about a week ago, and its been up and running for that week. Just wanted to share some pics now that I finally have the proper cooling on the CPU instead of just stock HSF.

Stock:
41C Idle : 50C Load

XP-90C:
34C Idle : 40C Load

Scoring about 8667 on 3DMark05 with CPU running at 221Mhz x 11 = 2431Mhz

Here are the specs:

Athlong XP 64 3700+ San Diago (210Mhz x 11x = 2310Mhz)
Thermaltake XP-90C
CHENMING CMUI-601AEB-AW Black Aluminum Server Computer Case
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
MSI NX7800GTX-VT2D256E (Lite) Geforce 7800GTX (475Mhz Core and 1.31 Ghz Mem)
ENERMAX Whisper II EG565P-VE FMA(24P) ATX12V 535W PSU
CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) (2.5-3-3-6-1T)
Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA
Western Digital Caviar 250GB 7200 RPM ATA/133
NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540A
LINKSYS WMP54G PCI Wireless Adapter
Microsoft Desktop Elite for Bluetooth
Klipsch 4.1 Speakers

Overall this rig turned out awesome, cost about 1800 not including the Speakers. Should treat me good well into the future.
 
2 things for you though:

1. Why did u hold back and get cas2.5 ram? Why not go for cas2, my patriot 2x1gb is running at 2-3-2-5.

2. Get a raptor hard drive

MSI NX7800GTX-VT2D256E (Lite) Geforce 7800GTX (475Mhz and 1.35 Ghz Core)


impressive :D think you mean 475MHZ core, 1.35 mem.
 
Thank for the feedback guys, yeah i definetly should have went with the cas 2 latency stuff, i originally thought that this would do cas 2 but realized thats only on p4 things. Yeah definetly messy. Thats due to having 3 IDE hds, which i should probably ditch especially seeing I have 2 250 gigers and a 40 and a 30. I know people love the raptors on here. I paid 110 for this 250 7200 SATA hd, for 110 you probably would onyl be able to get a 30 or 40 gig one right? I talk like its a stupid move but im sure i will get one soon, I just looking at getting a nice LCD now though. Probably going to go with the Dell 2005FPW. It seems i am capping at 225x11 = 2475mHz on this CPU, but my guess would be that I am hitting my RAM ceiling not my CPU ceiling. any thoughts?
