the cd drives were installed from the outside... I just pushed them in to line up with......

Jeez ! You know what... Im gonna try that.... it should affect stability at all.....

Edit : DOH ! I should have posted in that thread ! >.< I did notice garhar had what looked like a zalman cooler to me...because I saw one at compusa. I held off on buying it because it looked so **** huge and I didnt know if it would fit with the m2r32 mvp (that, btw, is Asus's first board supporting the rd600 chipset.... I think.... only one I could find... I must have made a better pick than I thought.... only that... **** bios chip !)

x2900.... Im really excited about the release for it.... that's why I got the crossfire mobo......Im drooling just imagining two of those in crossfire with an AM3 processor... (backwards compat with AM2 socket , I think) I just hope AMD pumps up that L2 cache ! I think Id like to get 64 bit vista.... that is a true 64 bit os right?

I believe it is true 64bit you will just have to check software and hardware compatibility.

Windows 2003 Server x64
Windows XP Pro x64
Windows Vista x64

All true x64 OS...

Here's some pics of my 'beast' :P (Picture quality is not very good...but maybe it's better that way!!)

>>Tower W/ Router on top, lamp next to them, and what looks like my hand creeping up at the bottom<<

>>Close up of tower, digital camera plugged into USB 2.0<<

>>Monitor (15" LCD) and keyboard<< Everything is HP branded, looks grey and dull, apart from my mouse which is some cheap make called 'Technika'...That's also grey and dull too unfortunately...but it does shoot red lazer beams! (would have posted a pic, but it's not so good in daylight)

Oh well, rather boring pics but the new parts for the new rig will start arriving hopefully next week or the week after, I will then have something interesting to take a picture of other than my dog and close ups of my nose hair ROFL.
