Hope you liked my hometown.

I need to start dating highschool chics again.
My opponents.
Nah, seriously, I've never been to a LAN party. The closest I got was playing Counter Strike in the freshmen dorms (in 1999, when it was still cool). Back then all we consumed was beer and cigarettes.
I hear that. You're in the UK right? I really wanna get a pair of 80mm Thermochill radiators from there, but there's some rediculous overseas tax I'd have to pay that brings the total close to $90 USD a piece! That's the only thing keeping me from building my internal watercooling rig right now.
Duct cooling is a good idea if you've only got a couple case fans. I'm a firm believer in ample case cooling and tighty wires. You have to take into consideration that parts like your videocard, RAM, and to a lesser extent your northbridge are being deprived of all the air being directed over...
MaxiKana, I don't think you can argue with the fact that the WhiteWater that comes in the D-Tek kit and RBX that comes in the DangerDen kit are two of the best waterblocks out there though. Crabcakes, if you got either of those two kits, make sure you get those waterblocks.
Yah, Powerstrip and Tweak3D (from www.rage3d.com) are both good GPU ocing utilities. I haven't seen a 9800pro that couldn't do at least 420/360 on stock cooling with descent case cooling, that's should be a pretty safe place to start off.
ATi cards are great to OC cause they make it very...
I don't know who mentioned running two different sticks of RAM, but they wouldn't run in DDR mode. You'd be cutting your mem speeds in half by doing that.
If you're not overclocking you could go with a the Thermochill or one from www.swiftnets.com. They're on par with good aircooling, but alot quieter.
If you're overclocking and you absolutely must go with a kit, I'd recommend one from www.dangerden.com or www.dtekcustoms.com. Most overclockers...
Either that reviewer A) used the shitty thermal grease that comes with the Zalman, B) used too little or too much thermal grease or set it incorrectly, C) has aweful circulation through his case or D) is doing his tests in a very warm environment.
I can run my 2.4c (M0 stepping) @ 290FSB...
Mushkin is great RAM. Kingston HyperX is not guaranteed to be BH-5. Mushkin guarantees all their RAM to be Winbond BH-5.
If you're unfamiliar with Winbod BH-5 chips, they're the highest performing chips for the Intel 875 chipset in the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard.
That image reminds be of Terry Gilliams "Brazil". So do many of the images from Half Life 2. Don't know why, great movie though.
I hope to see images like that in the distance as part of the 3D skyboxes. Seems very possible with the level of detail we've already seen in the skyboxes.
