Heres the latest build, FX 6100 3.3GHz at a modest 4.2GHz. Everything neatly tucked into a Corsair Carbide 400R. Very good case for the price, tons of room to manage cables.

Damnba, that's super looking.

I've never seen the taskbar at the top of the screen, I may have to give it a shot.

Thanks. That's how I'm used to having my taskbar. Been doing it since Win98 days.

Would you recommend that Acer GD234HZ? I'm actually thinking about buying it.

Looks pretty great and has some nice features like 120hz and 3D and 2m response time.

But some reviews I've read that say peeps having problems with it.


But nontheless, awesome set up. ^^

I haven't had any issues with it, my only gripe is its not LED backlit and its not exactly the best looking quality. There is some yellowish tint to white's, blacks aren't black, more grey-black, typical LCD display 'issues'. 120Hz is very nice though. I came from a 27" iMac IPS display to this so it felt like a HUGE downgrade, especially when comparing the quality of the colors. But then again, it doesn't cost nearly 1k like the 27" Apple Cinema Displays do. So yeah, for $299 (NewEgg sale) its a good buy IMO.

Having the taskbar at the top of the screen makes sense, simply because all other apps have a menu bar at the top of the screen. Half the time I spend going back and forth, up and down...

Stupid part is I could never get used to it up there, so I'm stuck with it at the bottom...
