The Dell PIII is what i'm using for everyday and at the same time trying to learn how to overclock it. I lost the RAID array twice in the last two weeks, so this probably isn't a very good idea.

I have a P4 3.0 watercooled rig that I've played around overclocking. One of my kids is using it now. He's 15 and I showed him how to do torrents yesterday, so I imagine there's a bigger HDD in store for that computer shortly! Strange.... dad teaches kid to do torrents????

I have an AMD FX57 watercooled rig that's waiting to have the external watercooling moved inside the case.

The plan is to rebuild the watercooling on the AMD rig, it's external, 2 pumps/2 rads, WC'd SLI, bla, bla, bla. Get 1 rad/ 1 pump inside tha case and use that for everyday. Then get an overclocking motherboard and a PIII 1000/100 and turn this Dell I'm using into a phase change/overclocking setup.

I've pretty much figured out overclocking the newer AMD and Intel stuff, though trying the new X48/DDR3 motherboards looks interesting. But I have to learn to benchmark phase changed/LN2/Dice systems next.
