Serial ata - The death knell for scsi?

Ok, Maybe for you "pros" it works. But when I overclocked my 750 to 850 internet explorer kept fucking up and games kept freezing. Sure shit moved a little faster ,but it wasn't worth the hassle of restarting games or losing shit I had typed down.

That's because it's an Athlon and Athlons need special cooling a lot of the time. P4's(Northwoods) on the other hand are cooler temperature-wise.

The temp only went up 1 degree with the athlon, About the same temp this pig is running without the covers on yet. 50c..... I know, I need another fan...

2 80mm fans(which is standard) and a the stock fan/heatsink ont he processor should be enough.

2 were allready on their way..I have room for 5, but, I think 3 is going to be fine. Now I'm debating whether I should get the round ata cables to tidy up the inside of the case a bit.

yes, get them. if you plan on oc'ing, they will improve air flow in ur case. also make sure to not have all the fans sucking air out or blowing air in... i like to have the fans in the front of my case sucking cool air in and i like the fans in the back of my case to suck the hot air out.
