Building a PC

[Stan_Lite]

I will be receiving bits for another new PC tomorrow (that'll make 6 + 1 laptop :-[).

I will turn this into a build thread with pics tomorrow or the day after.

After that, I will be overclocking the beast so I can make an overclocking thread (probably won't be as good as the other place as some of the guys in that overclocking section are bloody good).

After that, I will be setting it up to run Folding at Home so I can make a DC thread too.

Busy busy :-?

If you need a hand oc'ing your rig stan, shout and i'll do all I can. I'm not quite upto vapo cooling my pc, but I have a custom watercooled loop that I am building and have done various oc's in the past

[Stan_Lite]

Thanks for that.

I have a fairly good idea what I'm doing as far as air cooling goes and have got to grips with the basics of overclocking (got my last X2 3800 from 2.0 to 2.95 (2.80 stable)) but I'm clueless regarding watercooling.

Next time I'm home from Egypt, I was planning to set up an uber rig with phase for the CPU and two watercooled X1900s in crossfire. I will probably need some advice on watercooling for the gfx cards and overclocking for them as well (my last attempt at overclocking a gfx card was unsuccessful to say the least :-[).
