    Pretty nice. Since you have Vista x64, you should have chosen 2x2GB rather than 4x1GB so that you could add another 4GB in the future.

    Could you get a front picture and tell me what the case is?

    you could have put there a better cpu, apart from that (and vista) it's great; better than mine (not counting the processor). i also built one not long ago (amd phenom x4 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon hd4850), but i'm stuck with xp 32 bits, so 3.2GB RAM only, technically.

    probably moving to win2003 in the near future.

    why? AMDs are cheaper, more efficient, produce less heat and usually outperform intels for gaming and multimedia.

    when people ask for advice or make blind statements that are baseless, then yes.

    if its not installed properly you get water everywhere and/or it doesnt cool the components properly, and they get damaged as a result.

    and they usually make noise. a lot of noise.

    actually watercooling is quieter than aircooling.

    no, he'd die. the water gets heated up and he wouldnt be able to pass through the pump anyway.
