I was already considering whether to use these instead.

Thanks for this one. I didn't realize those ones gave better performance. Apparently though, the quality control on this model isn't up to par, and many users recieve them with a warped base.

The CFM to noise ratio on the fans I chose is excellent, which is very important, since I'll be installing so many in this case.

Heard about this, thanks for reminding me though.

Again, I plan to go SLI in the future.(or possibly right off the bat if I go with an 8800GT)

Their have been some QA problems with the TRUE-120s, however, they have since for the most part been resolved. It came from the mounting system they had, it was far too loose and was causing an improper mount. As for the bases, every base will have some, thus the reason why many people lap them. That's just something that all have, the degree of warpage on the heatsink should be minimal and I have personally never heard of anyone reporting mass warpage in regards to the base.

This is what I've found with 5-5-5-15 DDR2-800 memory when run at DDR2-667 speed. To the nearest values (round even), the "correct" timings of 5-5-5-15 rated DDR2-800 memory would be 4-4-4-12 @ DDR2-667.

Well, its the bare minimum for todays computing standard but here goes:

Ultra X-Connect 500W Power Supply
ASUS A7V333 Rev 2.x
AMD Athlon xp 2100+ 1.7 ghz
XP pro SP2
Thermaltake tornado cpu fan (loud as hell)
1GB PC2300 266mhz total (1x 512mb pc3200, 2x 256 pc2700)
Thermaltake RAM heatsinks
Maxtor 60GB primary
Maxtor 160 GB secondary (dying)
CoolerMaster CoolDrive 4
ATI Radeon 9600 series (yes its AGP)
crappy combo DVD ROM/CD writer
Sony 4x DVD writer
std 1.44 floppy drive (iono why its there... never use it anymore)
3x Blue LED fans
More blue LED case & floor lights
Clear Acrylic Case with Dragon etched side panel

19 inch Sony LCD multi function display (MFM-HT95 or so it says)
Logitech Elite keyboard with its crappy mouse (yes, they're wired)
Sony TMR-IF630R wireless headphones (crap sound, okay for TV
biggrin.gif
)

I built this age old computer in 2002, since then it's gone though the video card updates (GeForce 2 > Geforce3 > ATI radeon 9600) as well as RAM (2x 256MB + 1x 512MB) and PSU change (400 > 500w which I think is an overkill, not to mention the fans) and Case switching (aluminium > acrylic in 2004)

Couldn't be bothered taking it out of its case anymore, hey if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
