Arctic 7 Freezer Pro on my CPU
Q6600 @ 3.0
XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog (slightly larger fan)
2xCCFLs for case lighting
LCD temp display (on the Nzxt Lexa Blackline)


I think that's about all I've got in it right now, I've seen different estimators for power consumption and I've been toying with the idea of throwing another 8800GT into an SLI setup. Will the 620HX cut it?

No. It's SLI certified for up to two 7800/7900 GTX 512MB cards. Not even 7950 or 8800, but that's Ok. SLI certification is quite the overkill. They certify for "worst case scenario" and not real world scenario. :D

Well I meant that when they SLI certify something, it REALLY means they run every card they have in SLI cause it's so overkill :D
