Looks like a waste of money, but im sure the girls will be flocking now[/quote]
I added another fan to push/pull air through the radiator, my cpu is over clocked to 4.0ghz.Ā with the stock fan and the cpu at stock speed (3.4ghz) it was running at 42c, when I overclocked it to 3.6ghz it was reaching temps of 50c and higher.
This keeps it running colder then the stock fan, some people donāt like it, some do.Ā I like it, if you donāt, thatās your opinion, and I did ask for feed back so thanks for checking it out.
You donāt really need water cooling to keep your pc cool, if itās not over clocked. Just buy a decent fan, my 2.44 quad core was over clocked to 2.8 and used stock fan and was fine.
Water cooling is good for over clocking & silencing.

Nice looking unit.Ā [/quote]
thanks everyone, I was using stock cooling for a while but the max thresh hold for heat on my cpu is 60c.
my cpu was running at 55c idle when it was at 3.6ghz and was about 45-50c at stock speed of 3.4ghz.
now itās at 4.0ghz and it never goes above 40c, it drops to 32c if I have the window open as the radiator draws cold air in from outside the case.
Do you notice much of a difference between 3.4GHz and 4.0GHz? Have you done any benchmarks?
Looks cool and all, but I have to ask: whatās up with the big kanji for āmiddleā?
id change the case, buy a case with the psu at the bottom, and build the water cooling a bit different.
PC-X900, get that case, seems like you have money to waste
Here is a link that might help you, or improve you to change your setup or in fact maybe even perfect it more.

One of my fav pcās is this one,

and this one.

the last one is so sexy!
no test comparisons yet, I ran 3dmark06 with two 5770ās and got a score of just under 21,000, with one card I got just over 16,000, as for the case this one was a spare one I had laying around, I was going to use it for the time being, but the temps were still a little too high for me.
I switched over to my antec 300 case and now my temps are 35 idle, 40 under load, I have my desk next to my window, and when the window is open my temps drop to 23c.
when I bought my system I didnāt put any though into the case since I had one laying around. iām planning to get a solid state drive for my o/s, and a new case in a month or two.
This is my first attempt at water cooling so I bought a single 120mm radiator because thatās all I could fit in my case. I have two 5770ās right now, and they are the loudest part of my tower, when I upgrade my case to something bigger I might get a couple vga water blocks. and Jase, iāll check out those links later on when I have some free time.
I always like to check out the ideas some people come up with when modding their pcās I donāt know much about modding, I just took an interest in computers about five years ago.
iāll post back with some comparison on the bench marks, at both 3.4ghz and 4.0ghz, when I get time iāll do the same with both single and dual video card set up.
also the lian li cases are really nice, three of my friends have bought antec 1200ās and those cases are really nice to work with, very user friendly. I was thinking of buying a Coolermaster HAF 932 though. I still havenāt decided.
itās a logo for āRed Dragonā is a clothing company. and the top sticker is for DC Shoes. the picture spray painted on the front is for Dark Army. itās a clothing company my friend started a few years back when he used to skateboard.
I agree with you those are great looking PCās, I added that website to my Favās and when I was building my Tower the Corsair Obsidian 800D was one of the cases I was looking at.
unfortunately at the time I just couldnāt afford it, maybe itāll be on the list for upgrades this summer. weāll see. Iād still like to pick up a couple SSDās
again, thanks everyone for the feed back, and info. I always welcome any tips and advice or thoughts on PC builds.
Put a nice intel ssd in there, i bet you will notice more of a difference with a ssd, rather than over clocking more or adding ram 
Ordering my self a 160gig ssd fo rmy macbook pro soon.

says the guy that sends me more messages about how to buy a battery on ebay every month.!
Nice, let me know how you like it, I was thinking about picking up a 64gb this month, and just using it for o/s and a couple programs I use, I donāt really need it for gaming, those will go on the storage drive.
has anyone had a chance to check out the new gtx400 cards? I wanted to wait for them to be released before buying this PC I have now, I put it off for a couple months and finally made my purchase.
if I had only known the six core cpuās and the new fermi cards were going to be released a week after I made my purchase I would have waited. aside from the lack of physx, iām happy with my two ati 5770ās. one alone has close to the same performance as my gtx 260 I had when they first came out, if not better.
I ran the bench marks at 4.0 earlier tonight before work. iāll run them all again at 3.4 in the morning after I take care of some things around the house. Iāll post the results for anyone interested.
Hahaha!
Obviously I posted it for you to use!
I had a few cold pops and didnāt have a BBC infographic around 
Just wait a bit, save your $$ and buy a 160 or larger if the prices drop. No point building a gaming computer to use then install your games data and files on the other drive, would kinda defeat the purpose of using the ssd
yeah, youāre right. I only use a couple programs that arenāt too big, and mainly the call of duty games, I figured I didnāt need too much space, iāll put off the ssd until next month and check out the prices then.
maybe iāll get buying a new case out of the way first those obsidians are really nice and still one of the top picks for me.
