My prize for winning is she does the laundry for the rest of the year!
Oh, I'd definately had thought of some more creative prizes

As for the computer, the problem was user error... When I screwed in the H80, I didn't realize that one of my tubes was resting on top of a MB capacitor and it was never able to make contact with the chip when I "tightened it down". Hence, it's instantly hit a heat threshold and the MB safety mechanism and reset my computer after about 10seconds. I figured this out when attempting to reseat my chip and noticing my goo hadn't spread.
Long story short, a simple H80 rotation fixed the prob. I also got everything ready on this computer minus 1 last snag. After getting the brackets and everything set on my wall, my dmn monitors that I've already returned once don't have mounting holes on the backside. The piece of craps have something rigged on the base. RMA just made to return them.
Now I'm ISO a couple sexy 24" LEDs. I'd done with the 27s and the 24s have better variety. If anyone knows of a very nice one, I'm all ears. I need to get the order made fast so I can sit back and relax.
I also just picked up Witcher 2 and Crysis 2. I'm want to see what this computer can do. OMG I was so amazed to see what SC2 looked like on high graphics instead of low. It looks amazing.
Until then, I'm stuck on this 20" resting on my dining room table...

ssd?
This SSD makes this computer nuts. Windows loads in like 9 seconds and any icon I hit is instant along with like a 4 second windows shutdown. Heck the install only took 11 mins...
