    Ditto on the watercooling, unless the Physx comes cheaper.. for those kind of money you could afford a very very good watercooling kit..
    Me want Ultrabook

    I've got aquacomputer gear in mine, not the most efficient way of spending your cash, but definately, by a heck of a long way, the best looking.

    I am thinking its a bit of a waste of money, i think i will save the cash for my new vista dx10 dual core (mabe quad core, we will see what these core promises from amd are in 2007)

    In fact i may start a savings account for it!! (under £5000 i get 5% )
