I'd literally kill a generation of ninja's for that set up. I'm going to build a new system soon. I'm looking at 4th Dec. So excited :P I'm going to get myself started on a 775 platform so I can get a nice Core 2 Duo next year some time.

tbh, I think I agree anyway ^^. It was fun at first but im starting to want something a bit more..............sleek and techy :D. I've got some ideas in mind ^^, will have to wait till after christmas to buy a new case thoguh. :(

[HyperSquiZ]

Just a thought but it might be worth me moving the old pc into the new case and the new pc into my old Tsunami Dream case.. What do you lot think?

[HyperSquiZ]

the only other thing left for me to decide, is about February next year, should I buy another GeForce7950GX2 and run it in SLi with my current one or should I invest in a Geforce8? Im torn........In the end I think the GeForce8 would work out better and then another few months down the line I could buy a second one of them. Any suggestions?

Nope, its really quiet.

Runs very well...only time it`ll get loud is if i turn up the fan speed for the water cooler. Other than that it`s REALLY nice :D

The gentle whir of the machine makes me smile ;)
