Thanks guys.
I haven't had/build me a top of the line machine since 1998 when Pentium II MMX were the bad ass thing
My desktop had been a Pentium 4 2ghz with 1gb ram and onboard video that is now retiring to be my ampache / torrentflux server
so needless to say i was over due for an upgrade esp. since I am a huge nerd.
I added 3 more case fans with blue LEDs just for shits and giggles and i'm not sure what to do next.
