Default Got me a new toy

Heya guys, just thought I'd let you know that I decided to demote my previous computer to an over powered media centre

My main gaming rig is now under the "My PC" thing (just above) and it's all sitting in a Lian Li PC-A10 case...

Nice.

I noticethat you've got alot of harddrives......is that raptor the one which runs at 10,000 RPM?, if so, is there any significant performance increase because its high RPM compared to the usuall 7k rpm?.

You overclocked that processor yet?

Yea, there's a huge performance jump...mostly in seek/boot up times...

and no - haven't overclocked...i generally don't bother overclocking...i'll think about it when this baby can't handle what i throw at it anymore...considering i can get 3.8ghz out of it - apparantly.

Yea, it's not bad...
