Very nice, congrats!!!

Just have some patience with Vista.......it has some annoyances, but that's part of the growing pains for a new OS.

Looks good.

believe you me i got the dremel all ready for the case already :twisted:, also the corsair is modular and the fact that all my drives are sata that right there helps with the airflow

and that enzo is going to be more than sufficient - the reason I picked it over an infinity or tuniq is the ability to cool the surrounding components as well with out additional fans and does it better than the TT big typhoon.

why not two burners instead of one dvd rom and a burner? Just only if you already have it.

 

[pmr]

Ehh, there are still better coolers out there for the vrm too, like the cm geminii for one, or the scythe andy samuria thingy (more heatpipes)

Wrong...

the main reason behind 1 burner in this rig

1) i got a total of 3 other burners between my other systems
2) the average read / detect speed on a 'normal' drive is usually faster than that of a burner
3) cheaper

also the reason behind the enzo instead of the gemin or ultra-x
i didn't have to buy additional fans to get active cooling
