The Dream ‘Puter
Here are the final selections on products I am going to purchase this week to put into my brand-spanking new computer! Overall, the price tag is going to be $1100 but won’t it be worth it?? I decided not to overclock and not to use liquid cooling but to use lots of fans and other cooling products like thermal silver for the CPU and memory coolers.
[Edited 8/13/05: I bought the final items today and it should arrive next week. I changed a few things in it and have linked all the items.]
