If you opt for a watercooled solution, a good option (albeit slightly expensive) would be to go for CoolIT's Freezone (around $300) or its slightly lesser counterpart, CoolIT Eliminator (around $200). The good thing is that it is a self contained watercooling solution, you never have to change the solution, and all you have to do is screw it on inside, attach to PSU, and clip it on top of your CPU.

I can log in just fine. About the power supply: I'd say go for it if you can get it for $40 less.

I think it's a good idea. Although opening a LAN-cafe can be risky, I think if you have the funds, the motivation, and the guts, you could quite a bit of profit, because the PC's you've decided on seem quite nice in my opinion. Make sure to have very comfortable seats. You want your customers to be as comfortable as possible at all times. Have good ventilation, and air-cons. Best of luck on the business venture!

They definitely run hotter, but that's a bit too hot in my opinion.

If I'm not mistaken Athlon 64's/ Semprons can run on it.

My bad. You are right, I meant to refer to the Core 2 Duo iMac, not G5. Don't know what I was thinking.

When it come to viruses, a Mac is the safest way to go. After I make my PC later this year, I'll invest in an iMac G5 (probably the 24 inch) to run graphics applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, 3ds Max, Lightwave, Maya, Cinema4D, etc.

[QUOTE="bluealien2"][QUOTE="drucom"]Try to go for named brands, simply because they are more likely to be well manufactured and will probably have better warranty options. If you don't plan on overclocking, I'd say go for the Kingston RAM.


Kingston is name brand..

I know, which is why I separated both comments. I can explain the structure of the post you quote if you are still confused after this brief but, to my belief, thorough explanation.

To my knowledge they are the exact same, except that one is wired (G5) and one is not (G7).
