What do you guys think of my rig?

Antec Professional Series SOHO Tower with 430 Watt True Power PSU
Asus A7n8x Deluxe Rev 2.0
Barton 2500@ 2.19ghz (400 x 11)
Maxtor 80G 8MB Cache
BBAti Radeon 9800 Pro with Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer
Lite On 52x24x52 CDRW
Onboard Soundstorm
Viewsonic E90fb 19 Inch .21 CRT
Running XP Professional

I have been building this thing for a long time. Finally I am to a point where I am completely happy except i need a fan controller to handle the 6 fans in my box. So what do you guys think?

Looks nice However you should use the AnandTech System Rig Profiler instead of listing the items in your sig.

TBirdkid: I have the Cooler Master CoolDrive 4 in my built-yesterday box, it's the Aerogate II with an aluminium drive bay bolted on. The Aerogate has a 40mm fan on the front which will cool the drive fairly well, although the noise of it was getting to me, so I disconnected it.

I'm not using it for a drive bay yet, I have four other bays to fill yet

Anyway, very happy with the CoolDrive, it was only £5 more than the Aerogate, and the expansion capability is nice to have. Highly recommended

[Edit] Forgot to mention, with the CPU at idle, I can crank almost all the fans down to 5.5v and I can barely tell that the computer's on. Silence is a very high priority for me, down to the silica gel mounts for the fans! The fans need a kick up to 2000rpm to keep things cool at high load though.
