Build update

Slowly starting to become happy with this build. Overclocking went decent (from my rough guesstimate) 3.0ghz stable on the q6600. Replaced the 7800GT with a 9800GTX+. Upgraded the RAM to from the nicer looking Corsair XMS2 800mhz to the Kingston Hyper-X 1066 stuff. Improvements across the board. Cable management on this thing is hard, but I know I can do better given more time, sleeving and cable ties. Either way - hope you guys enjoyed the building. Now for some games I guess!

That is a cool as cpu cooler. Haven't seem something like that in years

Either had I.. found it at a local tip second chance store. Considering the price of them online, I couldn't help myself grabbing it. Needed a good clean, but it runs great and looks awesome 😎👍

I love it. UPcycling old hardware is amazing. Good job.

Really nice setup! Always loved the Zalman coolers. Look pretty cool in combination with a cold light cathode.

Came out looking good! I've held onto the same case for 18 years now in hopes to build something in it. Thanks for the inspiration

Soo cool much like the pc I had at the time 6600 with a 8800gtx bfg
