Your System - January 2006

Post your system specs if you've built/bought a new system during the month of January.

If you've changed your system, put "ADDED" next to the new component(s).

If you haven't changed anything - don't post!

Removed: Stock DFI chipset heatsink (failing fan)
Added: Vantec Iceberq 4 modified to fit the board
Added: Chipset modification to enable SLi (need one more video card though)

The Vantec works so good that it operates entirely on passive cooling, even during long gaming sessions, and it's only an orb cooler . So far I don't think it's gone past 44 C without the fan on.
