i'll let u know about the board madman. And to my esteemed bf2 partner in crime: cruze i'm only gettin the floppy just incase i need to use the xp boot disks otherwise it won't be hooked up. ETA the only thing i'm worried about is the heat that 10k will produce but hopefully all the extra room and those 4 fans in the case will cool it well! |
| most of the gaming systems i build, let you put a fan behind the harddrive. So it blows air acroos the HD and towards the back of the case. 4 case fans should be good. I had 4 case fans im my gaming system and a 120mm fan, but i was having trouble sleeping at night. imagine that |
| i'm not a huge software buff so i haven't ever put more than maybe 20 gigs on a hard drive ever. If i get more into video rendering though i'll probably buy a regular 7200 rpm sata drive which i can get alot bigger for the same price that 10k is just basically for gaming its quicker loading so i'm not at a disadvantage to others in loading time. |

Get a harddrive fan @ tigerdirect for 5or6 bucks. I believe it is made by masscool and it works great. Also might want to reconsider your 480w supply. If your not going to use lights or anything then the 350w will run your fans and everything you need it to, plus its cheaper. |
| Gonna have to respectfully disagree with that last one. If he's gonna be running DUAL 6800GT's in SLI along with a water cooling system, a Raptor harddrive, and 2 DVD burners, then he WILL need the higher rated power supply. That would not be a good place to economize. |

I put this power supply in my new build a couple months ago. It's been very nice so far. 510 Watts!! Power Supply |
I would agree with this very much. Recommended power supply for a SLI system is 450 to 480 watts. However, this better be a true power type power supply because most generic ps's only burst power at 450 watts. But minimum recommended power wattage is just that. It's a minimum. To run SLI reliable, something over 500 watts should be used. |
ive got everything in and its working excellent took me a few hours to put it all together wow what a dif some good graphics cards make!!! this fatal1ty motherboard i got kicks serious ass!! no probs with power or heat what so ever. overall this build is da shit!
