Saint is Building a New Computer!
Proxie:
Make sure you run Prime95 after overclocking, I run it for 30 minutes per tweak and 8 hours once I'm at my goal.
Mangley:
When do we get to see pics?
Sergeant Kelly:
Ah darn, it sucks that I missed this! I was building a computer at the same time as you were. :)
My buddy showed me this neat site that helps you index all your equipment and find the best deals for them. It really helped me build my system. I think I saved around $100 on deals.

I made the mistake of getting a crappy mobo from that newer company ASRock that was DoA. I had to rebuild the dang thing again after getting the sabertooth. If I learned anything from this, it's that you should never skimp on mobo prices. You pay for what you get. When I contacted ASRock for support they mailed me a BIOS chip for whatever reason, too.
But yeah, when do we get to see pics of this beast machine?
major:
Well install the bios chip ;)
Sergeant Kelly:
Unfortunately, I'm not even 100% sure it is a BIOS chip! ASRock's "support" consisted of them asking for the shipping manifest and then mysteriously sending me that little guy several weeks later with no explanation or forewarning.
Like Saint said though, those new armored ASUS mobos are both awesome looking and quite reliable!
