a friend of me is gone buy the 8800 GTX, thats a bit stupid, because for like 100 or 200 euros less you have the 8800 GTS but its almost just the same, thats a exspensive toy of 600 euros (+- $850)

Well i got extremely bored and tryed the maple syrup between the HSF and an old celeron chip, and well lets just say the mobo didnt like the syrup dripping, and it really didnt drop the temps, kinda made them rise. Go figure.

Anyways my rig, not finished yet, Ill post pics once everything is in and up and runnin.

AMD 64 X2 4000 AM2
ASRock AliveNF6G Vista mobo, sold the Asus mobo, because i wanted to build a SFF system.
2 gigs Gskill DDR2 800
6600Gt WOOT!  Sent my 3850 back for a 3850 512mb version

Coming:
Microfly SFF case
Powercolor 3850 512 with orb cooler
Some other crap like UV/or CC tubes, shrink tubing.

not bad for roughly $350-$370

Powercolor 3850 512 with orb cooler

that one looks nice... the stock cooler are decent but that should help a little without having to spend extra
