Selling PC parts that I already bought. And living at home :D For this build I only dropped $250 for all but the parts I already had. if I get bored I can sell them for a good price and have the fun of having played with them.

Installing Vista 64 and software and then Ubuntu.

The only fans in the system are the PSU and the CPU HSF. I probably could run it passively though :D It's dead silent :) Hai HTPC! Also this monitor is beautiful. Also the best this chip did was 3.75Ghz dual core. Not bad for $13 after combo discount of $20 with the mobo.

NO!

No... not gonna accept it. 3.75 is not okay.,.. run it higher!

Yes.. I'll damn well pay for it! It can run 4.. you will reach it! NOW DO IT!

Hit a wall at 280. The PC will not load windows at anything higher than 275 (x13.5 or any multiplier). Not bad really... unlocked an extra core and got a 1Ghz OC :D Back at stock now and installing Ubuntu now.

Also just ordered a Hauppage tuner and a cable splitter for TV :D

[Freaky_Angelus]

It happens that there might be a wall that can be passed with a jump..

SET IT AT 300!!
YES!!! SHE CAN TAKE IT CAPTAIN!

[StarYoshi]

No dice! Also I love this PC :D going to install TF2 after a few anime eps DL.

[StarYoshi]

TF2 plays fairly well at 1600x900. Waiting for 2 more GB of ram, USB wifi, and my 2TB drive now. Going to fill this puppy up.

[StarYoshi]

This is a great PC :D Waiting for wifi and my 2TB drive wednesday then it will be downloading 24/7. Before adding additional ram it hit 6600 3dmark06 all stock :P
