I never had the time to appreciate my x4 watercooled build, mostly due to time/laziness. So naturally I sold it and immediately have another setup lined up :slap: .

However I do hope that since I finally have my car running well and pretty much got everything done that was preventing me from sitting down and enjoying a good game that my second go at Phenom II will be a better one. My origional thoughts were to do something crazy like DD, but after a few low budget air cooled builds, I want to return to the simplicity of an HSF setup, or one of those 120mm bolt in setups for just the cpu as I have Arctic Cooling Ram Chillers waiting to be slapped on my Ballistix, which would make an hsf difficult

Hopefully I'll have something together by this friday, I think I might hold off on the gfx and possibly throw in a 940, but other than that little issue, I think my specs are pretty well finalized.

Pics will follow tomarrow for what I have here atm

yes yes, it is a prefab, for $60 I'm not complaining though, cash i saved is going into a better ITX box, maybe that zotac board with the x16-pcie

We have ridiculous prices in Canada are killing me, the best prices (from DirectCanada) are still 20 - 50% higher than US prices, I often think its better to take a trip over the boarder and pickup things. :banghead:

I managed to miss UPS again so I still don't have the damn rig and its pissing me off that the guy always comes at around 1pm when I'm not in. :nutkick:
