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?

I can not get the volume up to loud or the wife starts bugging. Nothing like hearing some well formed swear words at 100 decibles while playing Call of Duty WoW Not to mention the grenades and M1 fire

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. |
