custom cut window, mirror paint on inside with blue ccfl
Dual AMD64 mobo, with two 64 3200+s
3 gigs pc3200 ram
radeon 9800 pro 256 running at 460/440
Audigy 2, with logitech z680s
2 200gb hd's in a raid 0 config
regular optical drives
Still running fine on air cooling, might move up to water soon

No scsi 320 or SATA1? Got all that horse power and your running 7200rpm drives with the on board raid? I'd upgrade the drives before I went to water cooling. I'm running a raided pair of SATA1 10k raptors and another 3 10k scsi drives in a scsi disk array tower. Nice improvement over the normal ide drives. The tyan and msi dual 940 boards are not known to be great over clockers and hence no need for better cooling.

sata drives are next

[Ultimator]

i have the same setup (my case is even green too) but i went with 1 gig of PC3200 ram and a 9800pro video card

you'll enjoy it

this is probably one of the neatest computers i've seen:

last I checked it was somewhere overhead in my dad's garage.

my guess is it wouldn't load windows much less explorer...

I'll most likely go to a gig very soon.

If I upgraded the card, I would have went to a 9600Pro, but for the games I play, it isn't really needed. It would have been kinda a waste, so I skipped it.

ANd by the way, that Bawls stuff is terrible.

Oh for the longest time before my crapaq, I used a old OLD Mac Plus till I was 10. You know the one where it was innovative to use diskettes and not floppys(the real floppys). Also the printer used the old holes on the side to feed it. Hey it did word processing and I had cool games like pong, the original sim city and spectre tank battles. I think it was 16mhz with a 1mb hard drive hahahahaha...sad...

you could drop maybe 50 more bucks and get a 9600, you'll be glad you did

BUT my comp doesnt cool by fans much, its peliter watercooled, so i get NICE temps for great overclocks.... sorry im a speed freak, got a peliter cooled sapphire radion 9800 pro (its now faster than XT by bunches) amd 2400, with a 220*12 oc (for u nonknowing thats 220 FSB witha 12x multiplier. this is peliter cooled of course, avarage temp anywheres from 2c to 20, depending on the overclock. the mobo is a asus a7n8x dlx rev 1.4 , i got the northbrige cooled solely by watercooling. 1 gig of pc 2100, i have no farking clue how i can get ddr 166 (166 fsb run speed usually) up to 220, im just one lucky sob :P and 2 dead 200 gig HDDs (found out my CDrw doesnt like being chained with HDDs)

Lets use english next time. At least for my sake. Because as I see your computer rite now, it has a alienware dragon case and a shower head over it. Or at least thats what it sounds like lol.

Not really, I don't play a whole lot of games. I play counterstrike, neverwinter nights (and those sort of games), and I'll be playing HL2 when it comes out.

9200 should be fine for what I'm doing, right now I'm running a GForce2 MX200, and it handles everything just fine, so I'm not anticipating problems with the 9200. $50 I could better spend on more ram later.... or beer
