Default NZXT build
With the recent fiasco of a ill fated laptop purchase I needed something else to occupy my mind. I'm going to start what I would call a semi-old school socket 775 game rig. All the cool guys had one of these back in the day...unfortunately I wasnt one of them lol.

Going to begin with a NZXT Phantom 410 mid-tower case. Looks kind of orange in the pic's, but it is a beautiful blood red color. No particular hurry or direction with this one. I have a q6600 and a Q9550 quad cpu as well as a Evga 790i SLI or an Intel DX48BT2 mb to choose from. Just going to wing it as I go...

Yeah, but the q6600 would be more authentic for the period. Thinking maybe throw in those two beastly Zotac 8800 GT's for good measure...whadaya think?

Don't recall anything specific...while not the absolute best at the time they were/are pretty good clockers. Mine served me well with a e8400.

I may pair the Q9550 with the Intel board sometime down the road...it is more of a workhorse than a clocker for sure.

The really hip guys were into watercooling their uber-clocked gamers...not sure what I want to do on this front. While watercooled video cards had not made a debut yet, these GTX 280's would love another go at it. Feel free to throw some idea's out here folks.
