MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard AMD64 3500 (90nm) 1gb (2x512) OCZ PC3500 memory DangerDen Maze4 GPU waterblock DangerDen TDX CPU waterblock DangerDen D4 12-volt pump I already have a new video card (ATI X800XTPE). The only pain in the ass is having to reinstall Window (because I have to reinstall all the freakin apps I have, too). On the other hand, 64-bit Linux should install with no hassles at all. This system is gonna ROCK! ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

You don't need to: you can just re-run the Windows Setup, choose "not" to Repair, and, when installing, choose it to Repair (I know, it's weird) your installation: it will re-detect your HAL and all of your hardware. Then, you just apply SP2, run Windows Update and your machine is ready to go. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

Wow, yeah that going to be awesome! I find the most effective way to melt my system down is to run the SAMInside password cracker, BartPe Builder, Virtual PC and Winamp all at the same time. To CPians in general... What's your favourite way of completly saturating all your system's thinking power? Joel Holdsworth Wanna give me a job this summer?

It would be great if you could continue your documentary on installing the water cooling stuff. I'm interested in seeing the installation process because I'm thinking about using water cooling whenever I get around to building a new system (my current box has like 6 fans total and the noise is annoying). --Mike-- LINKS~!

You mean this will successfully 'convert' normal XP to XP64? And why SP2 then? XP64 should include post SP2 fixes. :confused: xacc-ide 0.0.15 now with C#, MSIL, C, XML, ASP.NET, Nemerle, MyXaml and HLSL coloring - Screenshots

Im also looking into water cooling, something to squeeze the last bit of life from my AMD XP 2600+ thats already thinking its a 3000+. No extra fans though :) But I would like something that I can take to a new PC (if such a day arrives). xacc-ide 0.0.15 now with C#, MSIL, C, XML, ASP.NET, Nemerle, MyXaml and HLSL coloring - Screenshots

Nope, this is entirely for .NET. :) Actually, my current machine (2-1/2 years old now) can't be upgraded anymore as far as the CPU is concerned (it's an AMD 3000XP), and my new motherboard will accept the new dual core chips that AMD is coming out with at the end of this year, making my new system upgradable for at least the next three or four years (allowing for prices to drop on what are currently the fastest chips available for the board). And yeah, I play games, but not what I would call heavily. Nascar Racing, Day Of Defeat and FreeCell (930 games won, 9 lost) are about it. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I am only fiddling around with Linux, so nothing real important is installed on that OS. ATI's video driver support for Linux rates at about an 8 on the ol' 1-10 Suck-O-Meter, so no 3D goodness for me there. That reminds me - I gotta download a 64-bit distro this week... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Well, I purposely did not order a CPU heatsink/fan so I would force myself to finish the watercooling stuff.

Most/all of the DangerDen blocks allow you to swap out block tops so that you can move the block to a different class of CPU by simply buying a new top instead of the whole shebang. Go here[^] and look for the TDX waterblock. As far as the video card is concerned, they have a new block out that fits most nVidia and ATI cards. All you have to do is use the correct set of holes. If your system is in a short case, you might want to consider 3/8" tubing (esier to get around tight bends). IMHO, you should consider going to a full tower case or a YY0221 Cube. DangerDen also sells 12-volt pumps that connect to a molex connector on your power supply. If you plan it right, the whole setup can be contained within your case. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.
