I'm up to number 4 new build thats on my spec, and I think its the best yet, although i'm still new to watercooling. Started off with a p4 2.53, what a lovely machine that was, clocked up to 3.1 on air and did me proud for 2 years! Decided on water for noise pollution reasons, but unless you go for a reservator don't be fooled it still makes a noise!!!!

Next machine im thinking of SLI and operaton, just need to do the kitchen first and finally buy myself a TFT and get out of the dark ages

I've built several, and bought several systems.
My current one is a stripped out and rebuilt Dell. Used to be an XPS Dimension T750 - a Pentium III based machine. Now its a P4 2.0ghz clocked to 2.5.
The only thing thats original is the case and the second HDD.

I'm going to start building another one in the next few months.

The reason I joined Hexus was that I consistently found answers I was looking for about techy stuff, and thought I could contribute, as well as learn

i built mine, hell, theres always something wrong with it but at least it my own creation

I built mine too and this is my first build. I thought it was easier than I expected, so then I built my sister's too! Her's is lush though..she had more money than me She has a 4200+ athlon x2, a geforce 7800GT and GeiL RAM so her system is quite naturally F.A.S.T! Wow, thinking of all this I'm quite proud of myself actually, even tho apparently there are 206 other people here so far who built there own... hehe! well done to all of us i guess! wooo!

About to upgrade my RAM to some nice OCZ gold or something like that hopefully, have £200 to spend (payday was today) also I'm thinking of upgrading my monitor....but that can wait its decent- and heavy- and huge- enough...!
