Well, onto my second build. As some of you will know I scrapped my last MDF project for obvious reasons. IT WAS HUGE... and it weighed in like a pile of BRICKS.

I was going to start this log when I was closer to finishing, but thats just no fun in the end.

OK details details.

Motherboard: Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe WiFi-AP edition
Processor: (debating) AMD Athlon 64 X2 +5000 Black Edition
Ram: (most likely) OZC Titanium Alpha VX2
Graphics: (absolutely) Radeon HD 3870 (Hopefully have quad)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA2 32mb Cache
PSU: (probably) Pc Power & Cool Silencer 610W
Cooling: Danger Den blocks and pump with automotive rads and BIG fans.

Goal: Achieve 3.8ghz Overclock
