Are you saying your going to put this in a coffee table???? Put in an oven rack too! U'll have an Athlon easy bake! That is unless you add some fans to the table! Seriously it will get roasting unless you add a few. I have a friend wif one of those desk that have a CPU compartment. His HDD's are hitting 50c. I told him they are gonna die, but he won't get a better case or cut up that desk. (Speedfan shows my raptor at 27C)
Sweet rig. Throw in a 1900 XT and it would game awesome!
Think about getting a Fanbus controller, really lets u finetune ur cooling needs. Plus that way you don't have to buy more expensive fans. I bought a cheapie (vantec 3.5) that adjust voltage from 7 to 12 volt, and it has helped tremendously. I crank it for gaming and leave low the rest of the time and temps are great. Processor's @ 38C and that's OCd 450mhz.
I might get a Liberty PSU a higher wattage will serve you well if you upgrade to a graphics monster in the future, and from the looks of it u like power! They also have a 120mm fan and modular cabling.
I have heard and read about people very happy wif their opterons. I would get one now but since I already have an A64 don't think it would have a big impact on my performance at least cost/performance wise.
I love raptors for system drives. I'm thinking of getting the 74gb the 36 gb holds only a few games and I like to run them from the raptor. RaptorX ....drool....
