Now for the nerdy stuff; TECH SPECS:

AMD 64 X2 5200+ (2x2.6GHz) overclocked to (2x2.8GHz)
2GB DDR2 800 Corsair XMS2 Dominator series ([email protected])
eVGA GeForce 8800GTX (superclocked)(PCI-e) 621MHz GPU  / DX10 / GDDR3 768MB@2000MHz 384-bit /
Kingwin Mach 1 600W 12V (modular cabling)
Western Digital Caviar 320GB / 7200RPM / SATA 3.0GB/s / 16MB Cache
Antec Nine Hundred  "Ultimate Gaming Case" / 5x120mm fans / 1x200mm fan
Foxconn nForce 590 SLI socket AM2 / 1000MHz FSB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1 channel sound card
5x Sythe S-Flex case fans / 120mm / 33.5CFM @ 8.7dBA / fluid dynamic bearing / black


I haven't been able to test many games on this yet -- I have been installing and updating like mad. I can tell you that I have tested oblivion and I can play with EVERYTHING on high @ 1024x768 resolution with NO lag, silky smooth movements. I will be download 3DMark06 over night and testing tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think of my new rig!!

The cable management was tough but don't criticize, it looks better in real life than in does in the pictures..

With scores like that you should be able to play oblivion at 1600x1200!   Nice build,  Good job on all the 120mm's in the case, with a decent fan controller you may be able to run the thing near silent with an even larger overclock than current.

You know I would, however my P.O.S. monitor doesn't support that resolution... after spending $2000 on a new computer who has the money for a new monitor?!?!?! haha. It does run oblivion very nicely @ 1024x768 though.

I actually bought fans that are verry quite. the loudest thing in my computer is probably the fan on the 8800GTX.. the case fans I got are 8.7dBA but they blow 33.5CFM.. they are very quite and yet they keep my stuff nice and cool.
