Nice Heenalu!

Looks like from the pics that you picked the same MoBo (Gigabyte K8N-Pro SLI)and Vid Card (eVGA 7800GT N516) that I put into Roo's new system. It is very a very fast combo...when and if he ever gets it...damn USPS. What processor did you go with? Mute said he went with the same Vid Card and got an eVGA SLI MoBo in a combo deal.

BTW...I found that there is a better motherboard system bios tweaker than the GigaTune program that comes with the MoBo. It is nTune and I found it at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Video-Tweak/nVidia-nTune.shtml. It will auto test different tweaks for you and test stability before you save the configuration. I found a config that really boosted the video and memory performance and saved it for Roo to load before gaming.

The cabling looks real sweet and the PSU, is it transparent???

Be sure to let us know what BF2 looks like on the new system.

Hey Tomb....thanks the cabling could have been better but I just made sure I tied it up nice. Didn't realize I got the same thing...but yeah I did...its a nice combo....I went with the AMD X2 4200....the PSU is transparent....
and I went with 2 gigs ram 3-3-3-8 and a 300gb 7200rpm 16mb cache SATA.
I just got it up and running...pissed me off a little...xp wouldnt format SATA...took me a little to realize that most drives over 180gig(i think) usually need to be formated with a cd from the maker....but all in all it was fun...just have to install the games and other software now

since you all are buiding new rigs, I will start working on my new one. I will be saving my pennies and building from the ground up. I hope Tomb is up for it...hahahahahahahaha. Liquid cooling, AMD etc. If you all have suggestions let me know. I want to keep up with the Heenalu's, Roo's, Tomb's.

p.s. Heen get a new camera or at least let your wife take the pictures.

Hey Heen the pics are just out of focus. I looked at the digicam data and your ISO was 400. Try to turn that down to like 100 or 50 if you have that option. Also don't take the pic on lowest quality, set it on highest and resize it when you upload to imageshack.
