I know you're trying to show us your cool lights, but could you take some better pics with the lights turned on? The lighting in those pictures just isn't doing your new rig the justice it deserves.

Tyreal:

I just had a look at Diskeeper. Do you notice a difference in speed even on a fast system such as yours. How about the boot time. Some say it cut their boot time in half but I wonder what kind of system they have. I have a Q6600 running at 3.3Ghz. I was looking at the ProPremier version because it does up to 2TB and has the I-Fast.

You also mentioned CCleaner to clean the registry. It has been a while since I have used a registry cleaner because I know many believe it could be dangerous and it doesn't speed up anything anyway. What is your opinion on that? I have downloaded it but need to look at it more when I have time. I know you can back up any changes but am wondering if it is worth the trouble and worry.

Thanks, Kent

so pretty much, I need a Anti-Spyware and a defrag program (since I already have AVG)..... so far I've heard:
PerfectDisk, O&O Defrag, Diskeeper, CCleaner

Spybot Search and destroy, LAVASOFT ADAWARE PLUS

which ones should I get?
I was thinking Diskeeper and Spybot Search and destroy......

Also, what exactly do these programs do and how should I use them?

Thanks for the pics man. When you get some more money you really need to get rid of the stock cooler and then overclock the hell out of it.
