ASUS P5B Deluxe, Intel C2D E6400, 2GB Samsung DDR2 PC5300, LG DVD-RW, WD3200KS, Asus 7900GS, 450w. true power, case, odd and ends..
1 million. Solid, stable, overclockable, Penryn ready. Good high-end mainstream rig.
Price? Not too high, not low, all from Technomart. Could have saved a few bucks at Yongsan perhaps, but we both live near Technomart, and we had time restrictions.
Up and running on his really big LCD panel.
Congrats Yesterday.

| What kind of cooling are you running? And is the power supply switchable between 110 and 220? Thinking of building this same system next month! |

Stock heatsink/fan in a three-fan case. 120mm in the front bezel blowing over the HDD, rear 90mm, side 80mm.
PSU is 220v. only. Yesterday isn't going to 120 land anytime soon.
The C2Ds are running pretty cool, which makes them prefect for overclocking. |

Yes - I should say - a BIG thank you to Demophobe - for all his help, time, effort and just-well-he put together a great computer for me....
so I am looking forward now till September - when I can tag along with him and Superhero and get another identical computer to what Superheros getting......
(I know I'm greedy - but I want two - and my first computer looks like garbage now - next to this new one.....)....
but - again - a big thanks to Demophobe..... (KT megapass is coming Wednesday) - to hook up another (second) internet connection to the new computer....
oh - also - I finally found the link (I tried to show Demophobe Monday night - but couldn't find the link - heres the great 32" monitor - really nice - for a nice computer set up - http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=1042032&highlight=#1042032
and a pic of it - http://www.chorandoslim.blogspot.com/
as far as I am aware - Cholorado-Slim has 10 of these to sell (very cheap) - it really is good for movie watching, game playing, and just internet surfing)....

You could have saved a chunk had you went with the new E4300 chip. Easily overclocks to 3.0Ghz with decent RAM and the Gigabyte mainboard. I just did the research for my new rig. Pretty good buy for a million, though...especially at a retail store.
Oh and @yesterday...be aware that that 32 inch monitor you're checking out ain't all that great spec-wize...and no DVI input...but yah, not bad for surfing and games. I'd highly recommend waiting for summer. The prices on these things are gonna plummet...mark my words. 42 inchers under 1mill. |

The E6400 is an overclocking champ as is the P5B, if Yesterday decides to get into that, which I'm not sure he will. RAM? Yeah...hard to find really good RAM in Korea.
As for yesterday's monitor...yes, no DVI. Too bad. But he got a good price on it and it looks fantastic and seems to perform well. |

| very nice. Yesterday, if the PC heats up in the summer (i.e. over 50 degrees celcius), get the zalman fan. |

Zalman makes nice stuff but not OC friendly stuff. |

Well mainly because no one in the OC crowd uses zalman heatsinks for OCing. They had couple good heatsinks couple years back but recently they had nothing to go into the hardcore OC crowd. Zalman is ok for replacing a stock heatsink.
Most guys use
Tuniq
Scythe INFINITY
Noctua NH-U12F
CoolerMaster Geminii
(Here is a link to show you zalman is crap for OC.)
