spice his wallet up .. because there won't be anything in it! I'm in just about the same boat as his.. and it's NOT a good time to upgrade IMO.. at least when you're in our situation.. waiting for pci-express is the best decision in my view

this was my first system build, and yes it does sound like a wind tunnel, my Abit IS7 northbridge fan is strangely very loud upon startup.. any suggestions? But yea for the most part this computer will do for now, until i get my 9800 pro Hi tech style, this will do for now.

If your chipset fan is loud, then just get another one, say by Zalman, and replace it.

looks awesome, and i doubt is anywahere nea as loud as mine

NaPsTeR, i want to know how you got your avatar so big. Did TWL make the size bigger?

I don't blame you, I just fell into some scholarship money that allowed me to get my current system. I'm still serious about that board/cpu and video card...

I kind of agree on the video.. but noway does that cpu suck at all....

I never said it sucked, I just said that it needs to be overclocked.

oh.. yea I agree on that, but he's got a zalman fan, so he prob can't go too far.. 3 ghz should be easy though
