Texmaster,
That's a nice setup there! I've always said once the P4 hit 2.5GHz, I'd be interested, and that time seems to be fast approaching if not here already. Up here in Canada, the price difference between P4 and AMD is really closing (except for the top-of-the-line P4 which is just a ridiculous price) and RDRAM is about the same price as DDR. So I'll spent an extra $100 so I don't have to worry about any VIA headaches!
AmusedOne,
That's a good point too. Everybody should state their ambient temperatures and whether they have a fan in the room that circulates the air.
GTaudiophile,
If you have a thermometer handy, you should try measuring the temperature where your computer is now (make sure it has been off for a while), and on the other side of that desk near the window. It might lower the temperature a tad bit if you moved the computer over to that side of the desk and put your subwoofer (or whatever the box is that is obstructed by the chair in pic #1) where your computer now is.
