Nice work! What case did you use? Is the noise tolerable with 10 coolers? I had to rip out my northbridge fan and thermal-glue on a zalman northbridge heatsink becaus the original fan kept getting whiney.

I used one original case, that I acquired in Yugoslavia. Not a bad one. Ill post pics soon.

once you build your own you can never buy retail ever again (mainly for the purposes of partitioning) ...and 10 coolers?!?! geez hahaha. congrats though didn't it feel good to turn it on and acutally have it work? mine never works the first time, nor the second for that matter, but thats what makes it so fun.

Congratulations! I remember building my first computer (I'm so cheap, I'm still using it!) and I felt that I had reached a new plateau - a liberation of sorts. Never again would I be stuck by companies like HP or Compaq (now owned by HP?)

Pat yourself on the back because it's only going to get better.

That's a nice overclock. How far did you raise the voltage?

Congrats. I built my first computer about a month ago. It was a great learning experience and a lot of fun. My headaches from Dell and their "tech support" are now over.
