Re: New Computer for B-Day

Well ok, I put a 3.2 P4 (640) with a Thermaltake Blue Orb II on a AOpen i945Pa-PLF, with a little helping of OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5400), topped with a ATI 850xt PCIe card, a new Seagte SATA II 160gb drive and my old 160gb SATA WD drive. Used the exisisting CoolerGiant power supply and optical drives.

Re: New Computer for B-Day

How do you like that blue orb Ken?
I'm needing to upgrade the cooler on my Intel 630, it is running just barely overclocked at 3157. I'm thinking about getting a Zalman cooler on my setup.
BTW I have an Intel 630, on an Asus P5LD2 premium mobo, 1 gig ddr2 5400, Nvidia 6600GT, 2x200gig Maxtor SATA drives in Raid0. I have a SOYO Dymond 17" LCD which I'm not thouroughly impressed with, my roomates LCD is better quality when it comes to games and movies, but for general useage it is a good deal.
I'll throw a picture of my tacky led laced case sometime. It's not my style, but came free with the mobo/cpu and memory.

Re: New Computer for B-Day

The Blue Orb is doing a great job, and the tests I saw showed the Blue Orb was a little better then the Zallman, I had looked at the zallman as a choice. The Orb is quiet, big , heavy and cool looking. I have no complaints or regrets.

Yes I am sticking with my 21" crt until the price of a low response rate 20" lcd comes around, should not be too long now...

Oh I think that Sony w/2 gig and a D processor probably edges me out a little....
