I'm curious to get some comments on a new system I would like to build. I play games and do digital photography. I already have a machine for mass storage. I'm interested in quietness. I might OC it a bit, but nothing extreme. I don't need the SLI on the mobo, but it looks like a good product and has the fanless northbridge cooling.
1 drive for the os and apps, the other drive for everything else. I know the Maxtor is faster, but the Seagate was rated much quieter on storage review. I don't need the thunderblade light on the CPU fan, it just rates as a very quiet fan.
I'll be using my Samsung 213T 1600x1200 LCD for now, but I plan to get a Dell 2405.
I play games with my plantronics USB headset.
