This is the computer installed in the Antec case. The CPU cooler is massive and the case is just barely wide enough for it. Motherboard -- ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer CPU -- AMD FX-8350 Power Supply -- Cooler Master 600 Watt CPU Cooler -- Cooler Master Hyper 212X Turbo Graphics -- NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 RAM Memory -- 32GB Optical Drive -- Generic DVD Burner Hard Drives -- (Not Shown) WD 1TB & Toshiba 2TB The graphics card is recycled from another computer and I'll eventually take out 2 sticks of RAM for another box, which will leave 16 GB. I'm very close to switching over to this box as my daily driver. I've been using an FX-8370E, which isn't as fast. Josh * * *

OT: I'm coming along with a major repair to my home. It's mostly brick, but has some siding and the siding on the north side was shot. I'm using Smart-Siding, which is a composite wood panel. What is better is Hardy-Board, which is a composite cement panel, but it's super heavy and hard to work with without breaking it, so I was afraid of it. At some point in the future I plan have vinyl or steel siding professionally installed over it. I'm replacing the original siding before doing that, but what people often don't think of buying a home with permanent siding is that they don't know what's under it. Josh * * *
