Should you upgrade your GPU or CPU for faster gaming? We tested many hardware combos to find out.
... for the price that chip deserves no less than 5 eggs (price to performance wise)

Thanks alot Greg! Ive got bunch of blue lights and black lights to put under there! Right now I am working on all the brackets for mother boards, hard drives and other equipment as well as fabricating a custom wiring harness for easy removal and break down of the desk. When all these are done, apart it comes to be painted. Right now I am deciding between two colors for regular light metallic silver blue or metallic titanium silver . As for blacklight color its just blue. At Xoxide they have an overcoat paint in a can that in regular light it is clear and in blacklight it is flourescent blue. The entire desk except for the glass and hardware will be painted like this. I hope to do this within this month.

Don't forget to recompile kernel!
Anyways, very cool.
You could give MonsterMawd a run for his money (no offense to any one)

You know, now that I think about it, I wonder how much optimization can be done at the kernel due to the difference between PII and C2Ds? Any one know?

Quite a bit actually?
I had to use a custom kernel, compiled by a friend of mine. It was optimized for AMD 7750 and PII. Although now I am almost always running Win server 2008 HPC. Not quite as fast I dont think, but it does have more apps avaliable for me too play with and I can game without leaving my OS and rebooting. I just wish the gaming could be cluster aware.

now I have to get my 250 gg HDD back that I swapped for the two 120 HDDs for the raid that fried my board.......... man I hope he doesnt give a problem
What I dont understand is why a HDD would fry a whole MB. Ive never run into this problem before.

well I appreciate it. I think 40's are too small and for the raid I want, they need to be 7200rpm laptop drives. I dont get it, A laptop HDD fried MY BOARD ........ huh? I know thats what it is because it fied my usb HDD drive adapter as well. I also have changed out the board with another one I had laying around, used all the hardware from the first one, except the board of course and bingo it worked. Im up and running again. I tested the other board on my test bench and it wont post at all no matter what. Oh Shite! I cant find the booklets to the board. RMA might be out of the Question. I might have to order another and send this one back in its box.
