New setup

**drew and not u** · May 22nd, 2008

Well I haven't really done any computer related updates in quite a long while, and I just made a few purchases so I figured I'd post a pic or two.

I just got the E7200 today, and I'm going to tinker with getting it past 4GHz, cuz I'm pretty sure it can do it.

Current setup:

-Main Rig:
--Antec 900
--Asus P5K-E wifi
--Intel E8400 @ 4.0GHz
--Scythe Ninja Copper
--2GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR2-800
--EVGA 7800GT
--Antec TruePower Trio 650w
--1.2TB Storage
--xFi Xtreme Music

-Secondary rig (silent):
--Antec P180B
--Asus P5W DH Deluxe
--E7200 @ 3.8GHz
--Zalman Reserator1 V2
--2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800
--Asus 7600GT Passively Cooled
--Seasonic 550w
--Western Digital 400GB

-Dell 19" LCD X 2
-Dell 20" wide-screen LCD
-Logitech Z5500 2.1 THX Speakers

-Dual-gateway network (10 meg DSL and 5 meg cable)
-Dell 2.6 Northwood HTPC (w/ HD2600 Pro) connected to Sharp Aquos 42" 1080p LCD TV & Onkyo 1000w 6.1 Surround Sound
-Gateway P4 1.8 File-server

A couple (crappy) pics of my main computing area:

Thats a lot of monitors! Too bad one is wasted with Hasselhoff!

How do you like that Resorator?

**drew and not u** · May 22nd, 2008

Haha, you can thank Paul for the Hoff.
As for the Reserator, it's not bad. It's dead silent, and does as well as the Scythe Ninja. Probably not an item I would purchase retail, but it was part of the package I bought, and it does the job. Looks killer too IMO. Plus it's 10X easier to remove than the Ninja. Very satisfied.

By all means good luck with the overclock. I've seen them hit 4Ghz but with quite high voltage.

**drew and not u** · May 22nd, 2008

Yeah, Right now it's at 1.375 and totally stable. I'm sure though it will take a fair bump as I cross 4GHz, but so far so good!

It's the spoiler on the P180B that's making your chip fly!
