specs?

Core i7 860 Lynnfield
6GB G.Skill DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5RAM
Antec EarthWatts 650W PSU
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 CPU cooler
Noctua NF-P12 120mm intake fan
1TB WD Caviar Black HD
Samsung 24x DVD Burner

eeeeh you should've taken better. the 5770 is not worth its price. should've gotten the EAH 5970 , 5870 , 4890 , 4870 , 4870 x2.
In other words , when you're changing series with ATI , its better for your personal interest to aim for the more expensive cards. See I'm runing on an EAH3870 and I managed to find another of these card online. And bought it and now I'm waiting for it to arrive here. Gona plug 'em in CrossfireX hehe

the CPU cooler looks cheap : /

I did research on decent coolers that wouldn't take up chunks of space. For a 92mm fan sized CPU cooler it does it's job.

Looks alone do not determine it's functionality.

meh I still prefer my huge cooling in my computer I dont see it anyways XD

You need to drop a 4th stick of ram to get full effects of banked memory access.

I couldn't justify 8GB so I got myself 6GB of memory instead :P

Yes, but now the system is accessing memory one stick at a time in individual read mode rather than reading in pairs which doubles the speed of memory access. You're slowing your computer down. :)

I know, but right now RAM is just way too expensive. I jumped on whatever I could get on that was cheapest and had a lifetime warranty. Granted it's not the wisest choice, but the performance issues SHOULDN'T, in theory, pose a problem.

In theory. :D

The only time you'd notice this is in a full screen 1920x1080 Farscape 3 session at max graphic eye-candy.

I dunno what it is, but it just seems like there's something missing in there.
Maybe it's the lack of hard drives though - that's usually what's creating all the jumble in my cases.

Right on, man! Very cool!

Con grab u lations on the new space heater

IT NEEDS ART PROGRAMS. NOW. AND THEN YOU MAKE ART.

cool!

It appears bottom-mounted PSU's are becoming all the rage ever since the release of the Antec 900/1200 series.

I prefer top-mounted, since heat rises....right?

So does SL still leak like a SOB even on a setup like this ?

Of course, I tell folks on there to get a CRAY if they're having issues w/ my avatar not showing up or whatever
