The 74 gig version is supposed to run abit coler than the 36gb one, but there will not be alot of stuff at all in my cabinet and ill install an extra 120mm papst fan. The graphics card also blows the heat out of the cabinet.

Sort of the same system Nilsen only I went with the Gigabyte K8N Pro board back in April on a 754 A64 3200+ CPU with 1GB DDR400 of Geil RAM (2x512MB). The system is stable and fast for what I want but like eagl sometime this fall after the new house is settled into I will be dropping some extra cash on a new system. Only this time my wife keeps the A64 754 based one for her business and the next new one is going to be all "Big Willy" (thats me btw)  style.

Probably built around an FX-53 based CPU with no less than 2GB of RAM and one of the new PCI-E (or whatever its called then) video cards. I am planning a budget for that system to hit the $1800-$2000 mark because I will need a new monitor as well.
