It's rough going that long between builds. I'm trying to develop that kind of self control. This last time i bought all the parts and let them "age" for several weeks before putting them together. That way it doesn't feel as if its been so long since your last fix.

Yes, I'm a little surprised at myself. I used to buy a new board every other week. lol. I have a 680i board that's been crunching non-stop for over a year. A lot of people said 680i boards were junk. My experience has been different. I think the 790i board may be a little cheaper than X48. Just a guess. The X48 boards are probably going to retail for $300 or more. I can get 2GB of DDR3 for around $200. I could buy six pairs of DDR2 for that much money.

The shortest amount of time I've put in between two of my machines is 3 years

or, are you talking about a sort of rhetorical build here?

I built my Abit IP35 Pro cruncher back in October. Since then I've bought a bigger monitor, a spare HDD and a wireless adapter. That's about it. The delivery trucks used to be in front of my house practically every day. At one time I had five DFI NF4 boards. Don't ask me why I had so many. I later sold them all.

I took this pic when I had "only" four.
