yeah the stock heat sink works well, the case is always around 28C, and the cpu around 36C, pain to install those safety pins in the mobo, took forever.

not sure if ill overclock, if i do, itll be when theres something out that would get something out of it 

what more could i do with the cables? i put the cord going to the movo under the sound card and had it go up behind the vid card, so you cant see that one anymore. what else can i do to neat up the cables?

i dont use raid i use it only as backup due to all the hdd problems ive had in the past. ill move one hdd up a slot, thanks!

i hear raid makes a huge difference, but it doent matter to me, doing all that work jsut so youcan have stuff install 3 seconds faster. woopty do. i rather have it as backup, like a big flash drive. i got what i need 

It is kinda late in the Dx9 card cycle and I'd go with the 620 watt P.S.U. I have an Abit mobo and she runs great;eventhough, others do not like Abit.roulettethedog

Or just get another 160GB internal and run RAID 5. Best of both worlds.

thanks for the warm comments. as far as overclocking, ive overclocked vid cards in the past, never got too much of a difference besides it running hotter. maybe got 5fps in games. ive never overclocked a cpu, just read how dangerous it is. seems tempting, and easy, but i dont know if i want to. id like this pc to last me atleast 5 years, i dont want to wear out the cpu by doing anything stupid or too extreme. plus when im not playing a game, having an overclocked part isnt really helpful besides the fact you get to say its running at that higher amountncderek

Nice setup derek, i wouldnt oc untill i needed to do so, i love that e6300, it makes anyones day. probably i will oc that processor after 2 years :P. r3351925

you should get some rounded IDE cables and maybe add some more cold cathodes to the case and a new heatsink I find my Arctic cooler pro 7 works real well and looks good adam0926

what are cold cathodes? link maybe? sounds interesting, eventually ill prob get a round cable 

The X1900GT wont OC great.

But you could push that CPU very far.
