Hello, fellow crunchers!

I'm looking for a cheap dedicated crunching rig and can't really find or figure out how to get a sossaman over here. I've been reading some on the forum but am still quite the amateur when it comes to crunching and computers. Basically, I'm just here because Rise told me to!

Anyway, here's a rig I'm thinking about, but I'm not sure if it's optimized as for bang/buck.



How important is amount and speed of RAM? Should I put some more money down on the PSU? Should I get a processor with L3 cache? How important is cooling in this case (no pun intended, just realized it before posting)? I couldn't find any info on possibilities for additional fans...

AND of course any other input that might be helpful will be greatly appreciated!
