Notes

Just a Dell machine that got pushed over what Dell thought it would do. The minicase it came with wouldn't fit the GTX 470 I got to replace the GTS 240 OEM card, so the case change was needed. Sometimes you have to push what ya got...

There are no overclocks on this rig and all air cooling.

Like that stylish CPU cooler, I must say.

The CPU cooler works pretty good. Idle is ~25C, loaded ~55C. The OEM one had this box at 55-60C idle, and pushing 80C loaded.
