Okay, I know some geeks here want to post about how awesome their computers are, so here's your chance, lets see what you've got underneath that aluminum case!
Here's what I have (but not really) AMD Athlon XP 4800+ X2 (64-bit of course :]), ASUS K8N SLI-Deluxe motherboard, dual Raptor 10,000 rpm hdd's, Seagate 500GB SATA 7200 rpm, dual nVidia GeForce 7800 GT (overclocked) 512MB (for the SLI!), dual CoolerMaster Cool Drive 6 (for the raptor's), Thermaltake 800 watt PSU with dual PCI-X/SATA connectors, Corsair XMS PC6200 2GB Dual Channel, Creative X-Fi, Thermaltake CPU cooler with six heatpipes, Pioneer DVD Burner (SATA, hehe), plenty of fans (since I'm still not comfortable switching to liquid cooling yet), a MountainMods.com case, and then some nice lighting to brighten it all up!

First, damn... second, don't switch to liquid, it's really not worth it. It makes the CPU much heavier, a pain in the ass to move and it's only a couple of degrees cooler than a good air set up. With the right case and fans you can have an almost silent one too.

my current setup is quite messy, the PSU cables and all the cables I have from my HDD cooler (the rheostat wires and whatnot)and just all the cables from my 12 fans and PSU wattage indicator, it all adds up; my airflow is terrible. Some how I manage to still sport quite a respectable gaming PC.

So does surfing. I don't spend a lot of time on the pooter, but I know enough to be a security specialist. I live by the old Cyber Punk mantra of: balance and equality in life and technology.

Well I have to second the damn. Water is not for everybody, just keep your current heatsink. Thermaltake and Zalman make the best heatsinks out there, some can cool just as good as watercooling(but with the noise...) I have my computer right where I want it for now. P4 2.4ghz, 512 dual channel, Geforce 6600 AGP, 80 gig HD, onboard sound. Not the top of the line, but I built it myself, and I know what it's capable of.
