If you have XP Pro SP2 then that be great. If not you can not update to...SP2 or higher. Microsoft desided to stop upgrading to SP2 from SP1. But eh...it don't matter.

Don't shy on cooling factor. I have a Mobo that has poped 12 Caps out of 22. Because of one little fan quite. As for fans get Duel Berings. Do not buy them sleave crap ones. I have had two give out on me. One on my GForce4 Ti4400 and another one on that mobo. My free PSU that came with the case burnt out. Now I have a 480w PSU.... Oh that is another thing power ... if you have 2x HDD, 2x DVD/CDROMS, and 2x CPU's. You are going to have to look at a bigger PSU. Or even duel PSU's hehe now thats crazy.

Question on Water cooling. Was it hard to install? What kinda stuff are you using? And how offten do you have to change the water?

Next year I am building a new computer. This one right now is to old.

Oh as for Graphixs cards. First off do you have PCIExpress or 8xAGP. Either or ... Nvidia cards are the best. ATI's kinda suck from what I hear. Then again I am sticking with Nvidia cards.
