Corsair 1000HX(Heh, it IS an ULTIMATE setup)
4GB of PC2-8500

I dont know much about DVD Burners
It's not the best, but I'm not much on going TOTALLY overboard.

Lol! Over the maximum shipping weight! I guess OcUK haven't heard of double consignments then... lmao
A few thoughts...
a) if you were really going to spend four grand, at least wait for the 4870X2s to come out!
b) can you really fit 12 120mm fans in that thing?
c) Laing pumps are quiet, but not very reliable, my housemate has first hand proof of this, one of them overloaded and damaged his PSU, not to mention leaked...
d) two litres of coolant? Fezer one's good stuff and all, but you don't really need two bottles, said housemate has filled his PC twice over and still has some to spare from one.

sam, i have 2 loops running there, one for the CPU and chipset, and the other for the crossfire cards (and yes id wait for the X2s aswell), and with a 120.4 rad, it'll take 4 fans, thats 8 then, and replace the case fans aswell.
what PSU did he have?
and the two different freser coolant, for different colours for the different loops.
creaky, im sorry, wont hapen again, im running a 24" monitor, so i didnt realise (1920x1200), should i edit my post then?

Ah, fair enough. Snazzy... I don't see any UV cold cathodes though? The stuff looks very bland unless lit up with UV lighting.
He runs:
X2 4200+ 939
DFI Lanparty RDX200
2x1GB G-Skill PC3200 CAS2
Samsung 250GB SP2504C
Corsair HX 520W
Swiftech Apogee CPU block, Koolance Rad, D-tek Db-1 pump, XSPC reservoir, and I think XSPC tubing as well, but don't count me on that. He also has an HIS X1900XT-X in the loop, not sure what manu. the GPU block is.
Case is a Koolance PC-S2, the type based on the Chieftec Dragon, cooled with two Nexus 80mms.
Radiator is cooled using two Aerocool 140mm Streamliners.

Well the GameXStream and StealthXStream I'm pretty certain are FSP units, as they were also conceived before the merger, and I daresay they're the top selling models. It's also worth noting that one of the only units that looks like it is based on PCP&C designs, the ProXStream did not fare well in benchmarking, powering down well below its rated wattage.

The StealthXStream is worth a look, but realistically, there are too many other better options, Corsair, BeQuiet, Enermax etc.
