i am going to go and get a better cooler for my cpu aswell..

nice set up, now lets see some benchies scores :)

I like your mod. I really like the Termaltake Beetle. Did you really have problems with your Artic Cooling heat sink? I have a Artic Cooling Heatsink/Fan and it works great. It idles at 34C and full load never goes above 40C. The best thing about it is that it's silent. I wonder what happen with yours? Does the Beetle make a lot of noise? I would like to use some thing like that for my next mod. I also like your PSU, it looks a lot like my Aspire PSU. The cable sleeving that comes with it is a nice feature.

Yea when I installed it I used Artic silver 2 on the Artic cooling freezer and I plugged the fan into mboard so it would control temp, fan stayed around 750 rpm even when cpu was running at 50c. I got the beetle because it has a 3.5 fan control so if im gaming I can crank it up it maxes at 4800 rpm abit loud, but I rather put up with the noise then burn a cpu, but to be fair when I installed the Beetle I used artic silver 5 so Im not sure what kind of diff the thermal compound is making!!

Added new pictures of the 21 inch monitor I got today 20 inch viewable...Woot
