After reading around about the new Core 2 Duo's I decided I wanted one so got rid of my old AMD machine and build a new one! Specs: Case: Thermaltake Mozart TX PSU: Corsair HX 620W (ATX2.2 Modular) Motherboard: Asus P5W-DH Deluxe CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E660 @ 3.2ghz CPU Cooler: Scythe Ninja Plus Revision B Heatpipe Cooler Memory: Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400 (4-4-4-12) Graphics: BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 640MB (580MHz Core, 1700MHz DDR3 Memory) Sound: Onboard Realtek High Definition Audio Optical Drive: Samsung (TSSTcorp) SH-183LBEBN DVD±RW Dual Layer (SATA) Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 500GB SATA2 Front Display: iMON UltraBay / OEM 3" Card Reader Case Cooling: 5x12cm fans (and still extremely quiet!) Monitors: Hyundai 19" @ 1440x990; 26" HDTV @ 1360x768 Speakers: Creative Inspire 5.1 OS: nLite'd Windows XP Pro SP2 patched with MCE 2005 Overall I'm very happy with the end result, although I did have a few problems ; I had to remove the onboard wireless adapter and connect the card reader to this header instead as the cable was far too short (or the case is far too big!) and I also had a bit of trouble figuring out how to setup the SATA DVD Drive in the BIOS too. I'm impressed with how easy these chips are to overclock too. I've got it clocked at 3.2ghz from the standard 2.4ghz on stock vcore voltage and with temps around 23c idle and 45c at load I'm planning on installing a Creative X-Fi sound card and a 150GB WD Raptor at some point soon, as well as 2GB more memory if I decide to upgrade to Vista - I evaluated it and was impressed with some aspects (mainly the new Media Center), but XP will do me fine for a little longer Thanks for looking
