    I think I'd look at a processor higher up the line. The E4300 will likely bottleneck Crossfired X2's, unless you can manage to get insane clocks out of it.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    Right now I've got it running at 3069 at 1.4v with stock cooling and with my previous LCS (junky Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II) I got it to 3600 at 1.5v on a 680i mobo. With that said, I'm hoping I'll be able to get at least 3700 with the new LCS on my rampage formula. If need be though, my grandma's computer has a q6600 that has been acting up lately and she said I could part it out when she buys a new one

    Look at the build plan on the first post. I believe it says 8 Deltas at 103cfm and 3 more Deltas at 240cfm

    SEMI UPDATE
    I just assembled it with the panels to see what it would look like. I love how the flat white exterior looks with the gloss black and semi-gloss white on the inside

    My grandpa is the one who buys all their computing stuff. He really belongs here at XS but he doesn't want to make an account. He is very much up to date and into the whole "Extreme Systems" sort of thing. You should see his office. He runs an architecture firm and him and his emps do TONS of CAD work so of course he goes and builds the most powerfuld builds you could imagine!!!

    As for the q6600, she's having trouble with the 64bit OS so she's just gonna go back to her AMD setup at 32 bits I get the 6600 tho

    Mini update. Ive decided to go with Koolance 1/2" ID 5/8" OD instead of Bitspower 1/2" ID 3/4" OD because after a bit of research, I found that the carbon fiber sleeving I wanted to use wouldn't fit on the tubing if I used Bitspower . Would've liked to, but this way I'll also save a little money and my sleeving will work. Update to come on either tuesday or wednesday, so stay tuned!!!

    wait a sec... are you talking about fitting sizes? because 5/8OD is smaller than 3/4... And if you are worried about your sleeving not fitting in the fitting, then wouldn't you want to use the one with the larger OD???

    I know it sounds stupid but I have yet to see any other comp. fitting work with sleeving on the tubin. Blue Aqua recently updated his log and showed that he was having trouble getting his sleeving to work with his Bitspowers. Virtualrain is the only one that I've seen that has been able to use sleeving (its also the same brand as what I'll be using) and he had to use Koolance 1/2" ID 5/8" OD tubing and comp fittings. I believe I'll have to use 1/16" thin walled tubing for it to work, though.

    Like the sig too

    I did? I'm not using compression fittings anymore nor am I sleeving the tubing. The thought crossed my mind but decided against it. I'll probably use the compressions on my htpc bulid or something.
