The Uber Frettchen is up and running!

It's a bit larger than I thought it would be, so here's most of it. There's more along the opposite wall.

Everything except TSO and TSDisp work fine. Fallout 3 and Fise of Flight are smooo-ooooth!

Running with Vista 32, will upgrade to 64 or straight to Seven 64 in late October. Vista ain't too bad. You juss gotta make it your bytch and she'll behave ... somewhat. Liquid CPU cooler is cool. Fallout 3 maxed out and the CPU is 41C.

CPU: i7 920
Good price, can be OC'd to 4.0Ghz

Motherboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
Lots of USB ports, good manual, easy BIOS

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Will replace with Seven in October; not as clumsy, slow, and evil as feared, but still ... eh.

PSU: CORSAIR 1000w HX Series 12v ATX SLI Ready 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - CMPSU-1000HX
Rock solid, excellent components, semi-modular, good selection of long-enough cables. Uhh, pricy.

Optical Drive: Samsung SH-S223Q Supermulti SATA 22X Lightscribe DVD-Writable Drive
Good price, good performance, good looking ... well, not ugly.

CPU Cooler: CoolIT DM-1000 Domino A.L.C. CPU Cooler
Very quiet, VERY cool, cheaper than many CPU fan coolers, much smaller than many of them too.

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 275 OC
Good without spending gobs of money. When it gets too dated in a few years, I'll buy a second and use SLI.

Memory: OCZ OCZ3P1333LV6GK DDR3 PC3-10666 1333 MHz 6GB Platinum XTC Triple Channel Kit (7-7-7-20)
Good, fast, cheap ... shiny. :)

HD: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Hard Drive WD3000HLFS - 10K RPM, 16MB Cache, SATA 300MB/s
Fast enough all by itself w/o messing with RAID settings, etc.

Sound Card: Creative Labs SB0880 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card
Get this and not the Creative Labs SB0886 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series Sound Card. It's the EXACT SAME card for ~$40 more.

Case: Cooler Master Cosmos S
Man, this is a beautiful, big, solid box with beau coup features.

Bling: Scythe Kaze Master KM01-BK - Fan speed controller with 4 system fans - black
Neat blue numbers ... what more can I say?

That's it ... well, lots of ties and wires and fans, etc.
