I'm wondering if anyone has ever used the Zerotherm butterfly, and had any good info on if its worth it or not.. I'm sticking it on top of a intel Quad Core. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2882721&CatId=1588
Cooling units... I'm building a new computer out of my old area 51 case by alien ware. hopefully it will all fit if not I'll buy a new case... I'm puting in a evga Nforce 680i mother board with a core 2 extream quad core qx6700 with 4 gigs of corsair xms2 800 htz ram 2 evga geforce 8800 gtx 768mbs (i know vista doesn't sapport 2 yet) a bfg Physx card a 1000 watt bfg power supply... Running vista ultimate, any good ideas on a fast hard drive? I have a 500 gig back updrive keeping my old DVD drive and Cd buring Drive I rarely burn cds let alone dvds so no point in upgrading that... keeping my sound blaster live audigy 2 sound card. I was wondering what kinda cooling unit you think I would need for this kinda set up. The case already has 5 fans but I'll need a new cpu fan atleast. I was thinking liquide cooling but not sure if they make one for the chipset yet... This is my first almost full build so any other ideas for me?

well I was going to get ultimate vista I know theres more problems and they don't sapport dual sli cards yet... but the other one I have is xp. I haven't bought the new boards still shopping around for the parts. but the info is good to know
I was planing on running vista this will be my first attempt at a almost a total new build.. I've replaced hard drives and video cards and network cards and sound cards.. but never the mother board and ram and cpu.
I'm adding a new CPU and motherboard to my computer going for the intel core 2 extreme quad-core qx6700 with a nforce 680i sli motherboard and was looking to add 4gigs of DDR2 Performance SDRAM at 1066MHz but was wondering what company you think provide the best quality ram. since the build sites just list 4 gigs and not the maker.
