good god that took a long ass time... i swear, ill never build my own pc again. of course, i said that the LAST time i built one too...

after hours and hours of one damn thing after another, its finally up and running and online... whew... now im only looking at DAYS to get it all configured like i like it... ugh...

(edit:) heres a pic of the machine while it was still just pieces parts (and when i still had my sanity!)



and this is a closer view of the huge cooler i put in (i put the screwdriver in the shot for scale)... now THAT is what i call a heatsink!
