I'm waiting on various parts arriving to build my second machine, mostly funded by selling off bits and bobs I have lying around, infact the only thing I paid for out of my own pocket was the XP4000+ from this week only.
Managed to get a hold of an Asus A8N SLi Deluxe for £50 delivered, a Galaxy Nvidia 7600GT Extreme Edition (one with Zalman fan) for £80 delivered, supposed to be very overclockable.
Not bad upgrade for basically £200! well cost me £80 out of my own pocket!
Sticking on my artic 64 cooler from my main machine as I have a Scythe Ninja on the way.
The second machine will be running 4x256 ram sticks I have left over from other machines, 2x Adata 2x Kingston.
Looking forward to seeing what it's capable of!! hoping for 2.7ghz ish of an overclock, and reasonable 3Dmark scores.
What would I be looking at scoring with this setup in 3dmark01&05&06 /super pi etc?
