Ok, I looked at Canada's newegg, and your selection, and a couple of questions.

Why that moniter (I actually cannot find it on newegg.ca) I got a same ratio (2000:1) one from acer on my list, although 19"

2nd why 32 bit vista, that is one thing I would not mind getting up to 64 bit b/c 32 bit for me has so many issues, and 64 bit from what I have used, and seen runs so much better

cause its a good buy for a 22''.  you need a 22, no less.  19=fail with that pc.

32 bit runs games better than 64.  a lot of apps dont like 64 bit still.

trust me.

KK, I was just making sure, b/c I have heard things in the past in the arguement of 64/32 bit

I believe you on the 22" however there was not the one listed in newegg.ca

64 bit software and drivers are pretty lame right now, but getting better. Eventually it will all be 64 bit or better, so if you're building for the future, you might as well, but you'll have a hard time in the mean time getting support for drivers and software.

I currently have the 64 bit of vista.  It runs most verything I want.  Sometimes I have to do some minor tweaks to it. And then of course there was the great sound crash of 09 where Cod:WaW sound would not work....

I had that too, until I ditched my Audigy 2 and went with the onboard sound. Creative suck ass and caused my previous ventrilo problems (voice would be garbled unless it was just after a reboot on my Vista 64 install).

Hmm, I have been thinking about redoing my box anyway.  My current setup is an Alienware, but my previous box was a handbuilt watercooled box.  I only bought the Alienware because at the time I received a sweet settlement check from an accident and said WTF, why not.

Since I want to redo my current box, I am looking for more suggestions.  I am going back to watercooled for overclocking and this time I may even go Peltier/Water mix.  I really want to watercool vid cards in SLI as well.  I was thinking of designing something like this:

Pump ----> Tri splitter ---> Vid 2 ---> Radiator ---> Reservoir ---> Pump
                  Tri splitter ---> Vid 1 ---> Radiator ---> Reservoir ---> Pump
                  Tri splitter ---> CPU ---> Radiator ---> reservoir ---> Pump

This would in theory not recycle hot water from one heat exchanger to the next.  A lot of watercooled boxes I have seen for purchase that includes vid cooling do this:

Pump ---> CPU ---> Vid ---> Radiator ---> Reservoir ---> Pump.

I would think that the initial being pulled from the CPU then goes to the Vid making it less effective in pulling heat away from the Vid processor.  Am I wrong?

I am thinking my method might be more efficient in pulling heat away from each component, but my concerns are too much heat in the system water because the radiator may not be that effective with 3 heat sources feeding it.  Additionally, the pump would be working overtime because of the splitter and forcing the liquid to go 3 ways? 

Anyone an engineering expert and point flaws in this idea? 

After I work the design, I will be going for the optimal components within a certain price range.

I am an engineer and you have to read the specs on the pump to see if you have enough output to split it.  P=IE and W=I/E so there for E=I/W x Ohm and there you have it

I think an ohm has something to do with the current in a wire. I am prolly wrong but I know it involves wires and electricity.

Ronin you fail and Ghost all you have to do is plug the garden hose to your speakers then turn it on
