This year I am. Next year I may do it just for fun.

I would have gave you a setup idea but it would have been Intel based since that is the best you can get right now. But you're an AMD guy as you say.

You wouldn't be the first one to submit an Intel-powered rig.

Exactly, he wanted a good rig so I did it the only way possible, with an Intel.

I could update my post to make it more bad ass now that I've seen a few upgrades (newer CPUs, etc) but my config still blows away the other one.

SpiritOne

ok, look, I just gotta ask net...

Up to 7 more of these: http://=http://www.newegg.com/Produc...e Fan - Retail - $6.99

Is the computer supposed to hover? make your go blind? Or some combination of both? Seriously man, 7 fans? realistically how is your airflow going to move through your system? Aren't you going to get choppy spots or areas of stagnant or blocked flow?

I realize I led in with the joke, but I am serious, I have been building computers for a LONG time now, and I have come to the conclusion that with airflow cooling less can be more. An anodized aluminum case, with a filtered input (helps on dust) and well placed exhaust can move air properly and will sufficiently cool a rig. But a lot of times, adding fans in a lot of different places will cause buffer zones, areas of instability inside the case where airflow is restricted. Anyways, I just wondered.

ELPIRATA

Spirit, dont give him ideas

I'll submit my rig tonite if I get in time... gonna be expensive though

Also its worth mentioning, the reason I went with 20" vs 22" LCD's is the image quality issues related to the 22" 6bit LCD panels vs the 20" 8bit panels. Or in lamens terms, my 20's is purty!

netburnr

the case supports that many fans, as you can see I only recommended a couple extra than what is supplied...specifically for the hard drives and one to pull air away from the mobo
