Sees like it could be fun .....might enable me to lose my noobness :lol: No really I can code somewhat  and other things but never really done half of the stuff on the list. Still looks like it could be expensive if you don' have some of that kit to start with.

Agreed.  This is a great idea!  However, I don't have the time or  money.  Have we figured out how everything is going to be kept track of yet? (score)

Ive OverClocked it now:P The CPU is running at a steady 3.9ghz *Mad cooler i got keeps it nice and cool:P*, Voltage went up to 1.5volts (not 1.3) and it runs at about 50 - 60*c

The Graphics cards are running at 800mhz GPU and 1100mhz DDR3 Ram

The memory has been overclocked to 960mhz. i didnt go thurther than that cos the ram got very very hot and i dont want to overheat it.

Not bad, even though 60C can seem like alot, its reasonably cool, I know people who have theres idling at 70-80+.

Then they need to fix their cooling...

Not necessarily... even if you have a top of the line zalman, getting 60c is pretty average and rather good. Normally if you clock to that speed stock, you will have it in flames.

My cpu runs around 60 all the time. Outsite temp, 44 to 50. Then again, I do have to clean it often because of major dust bunnies. I want to go liquid, but not going to waste the money on this peice of crap Pentium 4. I want a newer AMD, just not sure when they are going to fix that bug in their new quad core Barcelona
