[legoman786]

My dream PC?

1x AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo 1GHz HT

Then, I'm take one of my older AT power supplies and use it for my TEC or water cooling (not sure yet), after that I'm gonna stuff it in my HUGE, soon-to-be-modded desktop case. That's right!! I said desktop!! Just to give you guys an idea... www.discountpc.net/products/GATEWAY_E1800_DESKTOP.JPG
It's kinda like that, except it's BIGGER and the CD-ROMs share the bay with a single floppy.

AAAAHHH!!! I can't the picture up!!! *smacks self on head*

you really dont need a res (backing up omega here) to runn water cooling. Best thing to do for him tho, would be to make like 2 or 3 loops.

4 gigs corsair xms
asus a8n-32 sli deluxe mobo

[XcOM]

4GB DDR400 Corsair RAM (Two sets of 1GB DIMMs)


Ummm,,,that equals 2GB, not 4, i assume you ever want 4GB made from 4 modules at 1GB each, or you mean 2GB

[Forvak]

I mean two SETS of 1GB DIMMs. So, yes, four modules. DDR needs a paired set to work.

Just finished it.
