    revitalise my pc :)

    basically i have a 939 rig that i like to use for mucking about on, as i have a core 2 rig for all work and gaming.

    i was just wondering what i could do, got a wavemaster, with opteron 146 @ 2.8, gig of corsair, 7800 gtx, i dont wanna get rid of it for some reason, is there any thing cool i could do with it?

    i was gunna stick a 100 quid fx-57 in it, but for reasons that will remain that didnt happen grr.

    any ideas??

    Sell it and spend the moeny making the core 2 rig even faster

    Or if you reallt wanna keep it, go crazy with a dremel and some watercooling.

    get a dual core? (apparently the s939 opetons are going to have a drop in price so might be able to get a 165 or 170 cheap?)

    or get a third party cooler on the 7800gtx to get a better overclock/quieter?


    if you have 1 gig of ram I would say definitly get 2 gigs instead.

    Put a tv card in it and use it as a DVR, assuming it is quiet enough to run 24/7?

    Make it look smart and go for complete silence as well, a challenge?
