Despite my system having a catistrophic failure, i will not be deterred. Right now to replace my system in my sig, i have an old soltek mobo and xp1600 running on pc133 (eww). I know the system sucks, but the cool part are my temps.
I really cant check the temp on the vid card (geforce2 gts), but the cpu is running at 86F or 30C at idle. The highest recorded temp ive gotten was 100F but that was when it was really hot in my room and i had the fans down. But weven when they are up high, they are still quiet. When they are on high, the max temp is about 96 when it is hot. havnt gotten a chance to test the max temp when it is cool in the room.
In any case this system just rocks. Granted I knew mainly what i wanted, but you guys helped me to get the kinks out of my system and helped me to fine tune it (still in the process). Anyway, I just want to thank you guys. A special thanks goes out to pHaestus for all the reviews he has done.
EDIT here are some pics...
