I've had liquid cooling since my last build as it isn't kept in a surgicaly clean room without a problem. Nuff said.
What's all this about noisey fans ? My last rig had 7 fans and I couldn't hear a thing from it. All filtered and still got dirty quick. What do you people have ? Elephant Ears !!! ![]() |

My CoolerMaster HAF case also has 7 fans, and together they are much, much quieter than the 3-inch fan I have on my desk. Besides, when I play games I crank my sound way up... don't you 'elephant ear' guys do that as well?

The Alienware M17 or M17x looks to be a good choice.
Whichever way you go: You didn't say anything about your OS... remember that if you want to take advantage of anything over 3GM RAM, you'll need a 64bit OS. |

The Coolermaster V10 will not give enough room for the Dominators.
I am going with Windows XP for the OS. And @ Arclight: thanks for the tips, I will look into that. And I would get a sound card but with a $2200-$2500 budget and ~$2600 rig w/ shipping I do not have the money at the moment. So later I will. |

Does SH3/SH4/IL-2 run on Vista? I heard about problems in the past.
Also can I get Direct-X 10 on XP? Because I really did not like Vista. |
